| Annotation | The concept of `contested communities' indicates how communities are sites for internal conflict between old and young, men and women, and for external conflict between central and local government. This book - organised in four parts - comprises essays representing the interdisciplinary nature of a conference, `Ideas of Community', held at the University of the West of England, Bristol, in September 1995. Part 1 focuses on the concept of community and some of the key social networks which underpin them. The theme of Part 2, Community and social diversity, provides a series of case studies of housing estates in Salford, Newcastle-upon-Tyne, Bristol, and Paisley. It also focuses on sheltered housing in Newcastle-upon-Tyne, and aspects of inclusion and exclusion. Part 3 looks at the way in which successive local government reorganisations have theorised the concept of community. Part 4 - on community, participation and empowerment - considers examples of successful and unsuccessful community mobilisation, and the involvement of community groups in urban regeneration programmes.
