Governance in the Post-War City
Partnerships between the public and private sectors have been a central feature in the development of British cities since the nineteenth century. Many major civic projects, transport links and even industrial estates have been successfully completed thanks to government, central and local, working with private interests, developers and investors. After the second world war, however, these partnerships became fundamental to the redevelopment of u…
Civic pride and redevelopment in the post-war British city
This article is concerned with civic pride in post-war urban Britain. While many of the development projects during 1945–79 proved to be design failures, suggesting the demise of civic pride, the ambitions of local authorities, planners and developers have largely been ignored or dismissed. Nevertheless, the development plans which emerged during this period reveal a desire to rebuild new, modern and vibrant cities. Moreover, the planning and fin…
Working Class Suburbs
Fourteen years after the publication of Invincible Green Suburbs, Brave New Towns: Social Change and Urban Dispersal in Post-War England, Mark Clapson has developed his research into working-class suburbs with an in-depth look at the Whitley council estate in Reading from 1930 to 2010. The book looks at the entire history of the estate, including the planning stage and the delays in construction, the actual development in the 1930s, and the impac…

Tenants arise! Consumerism, tenants and the challenge to council authority in Manchester, 1968–92
Civic Culture and Housing Policy in Manchester, 1945-79
This article develops three themes. First, we have shown that, whilst local housing policy was channelled by government initiatives, funding patterns and local expert opinion, local political and civic values gave rise to a policy orientation that had a significant influence on the lives and perceptions of public sector tenants. Secondly, we demonstrate that the tenacious hold of civic and political values contributed to the Labour Party’s politi…
Urban charity, class relations and social cohesion
This article is concerned with the Cotton Famine affecting the towns of north-west England between 1861–64. It examines charitable responses to the Famine and especially the impact of the charity relationship between recipient and donor. Understanding the complexities of this relationship, based on a reciprocal arrangement and establishing behavoural norms, leads to a wider appreciation of the role of charity in determining class cohesion and in …
Charity, Status and Parliamentary Candidates in Manchester
This article is concerned with the relationship which existed between Manchester's parliamentary candidates and their involvement with local charities. Both of these areas, “charity” and “parliamentary elections” formed distinct fields of activity, each with their own structures and each producing a particular set of dispositions. Success depended on the individual's habitus and having the right degree of personal or cultural capital. In the mid …
