The large towns and cities in Britain have suffered strong decline since the fifties, in terms of population, employment and income. In the face of this urban decay, the paper explores three questions. Are these changes the results of natural processes of the market economy or has policy-making played a role in the decline, whether consciously or not? Can the private and the public sector tackle the problems of change in the context of decline, especially in the field of housing? To what extent has recent urban policy contributed to the social and spatial disparities in the large cities? In looking at the last question, detailed information of the 1971 and 1981 cencuses for Manchester are analysed.L'évolution des villes et la politique urb...
