Cities limited [electronic resource]

Leunig, Tim

Cities limited [electronic resource] - London Policy Exchange 2007

Considers whether the policy of urban regeneration has made any progress in improving the situation in Britain's declining urban centres. Concludes that no significant change has been achieved. Assesses 18 towns and cities on a range of outcome measures including gross value added, personal incomes and unemployment levels. Finds that the towns supposedly benefiting from urban regeneration policies and funding performed poorly compared to the national average. Trends across the nation have continued unchecked based on these assessments. The situation may even be consolidating as the young and mobile population leaves areas which most need regeneration.
