Sewerage and rural disadvantage in England 1945–74
Prior to local government reorganisation in 1974, English rural councils were largely responsible for local sewerage services. In 1945, British national sentiment supported reversing interwar neglect of rural areas through investment in new housing and affiliated services. Rural sewerage was central to expected gains. Rural hopes were soon disabused. Investment in sewerage faltered. National direction pushed social housing towards cities and, wit…
Politics, policy and rural-urban house-building divergence, England 1945–1973
Investigations into social housing construction pre-1974 point to a national Conservative Party predilection to ‘weaponize’ urban annexations, greenbelts and overspill developments to concentrate public housing in cities, with rural territories given over to owner-occupation. This paper challenges the potency of this viewpoint, arguing that these ‘structural fixes’ fall short in accounting for increased rural-urban social segregation. By explorin…

Occupational Structures in Service-Class Households
The authors explore the composition of service-class households in rural, suburban, and inner-city residential environments in terms of the occupations of household members. Focusing on single-adult and two-adult households, the authors use the Office for National Statistics (ONS) Longitudinal Study (LS) to examine the occupations of LS members and their partners. They find differences in the likelihood that service-class households are single-pe…
Ruralities and Gender Divisions of Labour in Eastern England
The literature has identified particular restrictions on the ability of women to obtain paid work in rural areas, with lack of job opportunities, lack of child care facilities, access problems and cultural expectations about a woman's role in rural society all bearing negatively on the ability to attain jobs for which women are qualified. This paper acknowledges these constraints but cautions against placing too much emphasis on them. Drawing on …

Where has social housing gone? Politics, housing need and social housing construction in England
This paper focuses on the changing geography of social housing supply in England since the passing of the 1988 Housing Act. This Act marked a key transition point in national housing policy, as it transferred primary responsibility for social housing provision from local authorities to housing associations. Examining construction rates for every lower‐tier local authority in the nation, the question asked is whether this shift was accompanied by …

African Immigrant Workers in Spanish Agriculture
This paper explores reasons for the uneven employment of African workers in Spanish agriculture. Examining employment patterns at a provincial level, it explores why there is a concentration in certain regions of Spain. Focusing on the province of Girona, the study utilizes interview responses from African workers, employers and key local informants to explore reasons for African employment, as well as examining the working conditions of African …

Rural Migration and Counter‐urbanization in the European Periphery
The extent to which counterurbanization is affecting rural population dynamics in southern Europe is explored using the example of Andalucia, Spain. "The purpose of this paper is to ask, in the context of Andalucia, whether an emergent counterurbanization trend is evident in a traditional area of rural population decline in southern Europe. More broadly, it raises questions about whether the concept counterurbanization helps or hinders our unders…

Does Politics Matter? Redistributive Policies in English Cities 1949–74
The importance of political parties for inter-governmental differences in public policies has long been the subject of dispute. Given their comparative intentions and their concern with end-products rather than decision processes, statistical analyses of policy outputs should provide a valuable tool in evaluating this question. This they have seemingly failed to do, largely because they have devoted insufficient attention to the conceptual and th…

House Construction in Nonmetropolitan Districts
HOGGART K. (1993) House construction in nonmetropolitan districts: economy, politics and rurality, Reg. Studies 27, 651–664. This paper investigates annual rates of new house building in the 333 district councils of England and Wales between 1978 and 1990. Construction trends in the private sector, the public sector and for housing associations are examined. Substantial shifts in dwelling completions are identified by housing sector and by geogra…
British home owners and housing change in rural France
Drawing on a survey of 406 home owners in France, expansion in British property ownership is shown to have increased the rural housing stock and to have improved rural housing quality. In all, 30 per cent of British home owners in France have added at least one dwelling to the housing stock, mostly by restoring a derelict property or bringing an unwanted farm building into residential use. Amongst other property owners, 55 per cent have undertake…
Retired British Home Owners in Rural France
Drawing on a survey of 406 British home owners in France, this study examines the origins, destinations and reasons for purchasing homes in rural France. In doing so it compares first home retired households with their pre-retirement counterparts and with second home owners who are retired. No notable differences are found in the geographical distribution or reasons for selecting home locations between these groups. However, patterns of retiremen…

Geographical Differences in British Property Acquisitions in Rural France
Drawing on a survey of 406 British home owners in five departements in France, this study explores the geography of first and second home acquisitions in terms of differences between origin and destination area. Examining the reasons why people buy homes in rural France, it is shown that those from South West England mainly move to France permanently because of its cheaper cost of living, while those from the southern counties of South East Engla…
London
London, one of the largest and most diverse cities in the world, has particular problems, trends and potentials which make its investigation an essential component of urban studies. The contributors examine the economic, social and political dimensions of its existence. The text analyzes aspects of London which have hitherto received little attention, such as gender divisions of labour and the impact of London's boroughs on life in the capital an…

Social Needs, Political Representation, and Federal Outlays in the East North Central United States of America
The objectives of this paper are first, to examine whether the distribution of federal outlays in the USA are responsive to variation in social needs, and second, to establish whether areas with political representatives on key Congressional committees receive higher levels of federal outlays than might be expected given their needs and resources. The study region is the East North Central region, the observation units are counties, and the outla…
Changes in Education Outputs in English Local Authorities, 1949–1974
The literature on local outputs is dominated by cross‐sectional investigations which suggest that the local socio‐economic environment is a critical determinant of local policy. This paper argues that there is insufficient theoretical justification for adopting a cross‐sectional methodology. It examines changes in education outputs in 57 English county borough s and 28 English county councils over the period 1949–74 and concludes that long‐term t…

Welsh local authority employment since 1979
This paper investigates changes in district council workforce levels in Wales between 1979 and 1982. At this time, when the Conservative Government was pressing for reductions in local authority employment, the Labour Party was arguing for the maintenance of public service provisions. On this basis, it is hypothesized that Labour controlled councils should have recorded the lowest rates of employment loss. After developing a normative model to ac…

Property Tax Resources and Political Party Control in England 1974-1984
The fiscal plight of many inner city local authorities in England raises questions about similarities in urban fiscal stress processes in England and the United States. This paper focuses on one explanation for urban fiscal strain, the reduced viability of property taxes for local revenue gathering, which has been reported as significant in the United States. Given central government grant reductions and party political differences over expenditu…

Variation in Intracity Income Inequality in the Mid-Atlantic States
Explanations for dissimilarities in intracity income inequality have been dominated by Kuznets’s hypothesis. It is argued that this identifies statistical associations rather than causal relationships. An alternative model is presented which focuses on the ideas of James O’Connor and Claus Offe concerning the effects of employers’ market power on the income of their workers. The model is tested for 274 mid-Atlantic cities in 1980. The explanatory…

Urban Riots and Public Expenditure
The literature on 1960s civil disorders provides inconclusive evidence about their impact on city government policies. It is argued that the methodological weaknesses of existing studies account €or this. Focusing on urban centers of over 10,OOO population in New Jersey and Pennsylvania, this investigation uses annual expenditure data from 1962 to 1974 to evaluate the impact of rioting. Consequent upon rioting, city expenditures did not exhibit s…

Revenue Responses To Proposition 13 in The San Francisco Bay Area
This paper examines whether changes in sources of city revenue are aligned with differences in local power structures. Examining change in per capita revenues and in revenue shares from different sources from 1977/78 to 1986/87, the results show that, while there was much variety in inter-city revenue changes, consistent patterns were present. In particular, patterns of revenue collection change were influenced by the relative importance of non-r…

Change in Local Authority Services for the Elderly in England, 1979-88
In most studies of service provision in local authorities it is assumed that councils respond directly to service need and fiscal conditions. In this paper it is argued that this is a fallacy as responses are conditioned by the filter of political party control. With a focus on nonmetropolitan counties and metropolitan boroughs and districts, it is shown that relationships between policy variation and socioeconomic conditions vary in Conservative…
Responsiveness of Intergovernmental Aid to Urban Problems in New Jersey and New York, 1976-1984
After establishing that the distribution of federal and state aid to cities in New Jersey and New York was stable between 1976 and 1984, the author examines the relationship between socioeconomic conditions and aid receipts. When single years are examined, both federal and state payments are found to be broadly redistributive, especially in New Jersey. However, when change over these years is examined, the greatest federal losses are found for ci…
