This text provides an account of the realignment that has taken place in English regeneration policy and practice since 1991. It analyzes: the social, economic and political changes which have led to an emphasis in policy on competitiveness; integrated approaches to economic decline and social exclusion; the shift away from formula-driven funding mechanisms towards controversial competitive bidding; changes in governance practices; the spread of multi-sector partnerships; the "new localism" and the emergence of a contract culture. The authors deal with the changing policy context and specific regeneration initiatives. The book concludes with a summary of contemporary policy themes and an assessment of the Labour Government's policy proposals.

Industry Reviews

`This book is a valuable addition to the growing literature on contemporary urban policy. It is particularly timely in that there are very few academic assessments of the myriad of post-Thatcher policy initiatives, especially since government-commissioned evaluations of City Challenge and the SRB Challenge Fund are still awaited' - Town Planning Review

`a well-structured and comprehensive evaluation of the recent urban (and rural ) policy, which will be extremely useful for undergraduates with an interest in these areas' - International Planning Studies
