"This definitive book provides a conceptual context for cultural quarters, including cultural sustainability, through a detailed discussion of the salient principles of urban design and planning. To examine these issues, the book presents several extensive case studies drawn from Northern England, Ireland and Vienna to position the emergence of specific cultural areas within a historical, spatial and social context including the economics of maintaining the respective districts which incorporates the critical role of universities."--BOOK JACKET.
