This book presents the key interactions in local government and public enterprise, drawing together the challenges for local governance in the practice of public entrepreneurship and its response to collaboration, place and place making. "This is an informative study and one that could usefully create some controversy on the role of local government and agencies within liberal democratic government. The study packs in a substantive quantity and quality of research and critical analysis." - Jim Chandler Sheffield Hallam University, UK, Local Government Studies
