Abstract
This book set out to raise questions about the impact of deindustrialisation in several regions of Europe. Our objectives were to look at the effects of economic restructuring central to the remaking of distinct areas characterised by work patterns that had been formed from the beginning of the Industrial Revolution up to the late twentieth century and had constituted distinctive cultures, communities and identities. The implications of these altered conditions would prove profound, playing a significant role in transforming many European landscapes and spaces.
