Liverpool:
A Tale of Two Cities shows Liverpool to be a community
poised for economic revival. Its interdependence with
the world's economy and growing technology service sector
are both factors affecting this change. The second case
study, Randstad: Preserving the Green Heart,
explains how the protests of the residents of the "green
heart" reflect their relationship to and identification
with rural places as they face the possibility of increased
development.
