A "Mainly for students" article in an ongoing series on regeneration (see Abs65994 and X121650) looks at how regeneration development agencies (RDAs) implement their strategies, as discussed in a recent RICS conference. Provides a brief overview of regeneration issues facing the property industry and outlines how RDA's implement their regeneration strategies, using the example of Advantage West Midlands. In particular, looks at how RDAs create their strategies to reflect regional differences, such as manufacturing and service industries in areas like the West Midlands. Highlights the key priorities of Advantage West Midlands, the wider role of RDAs and the issues affecting how quickly RDAs can deliver their strategies. Also discusses the use of compulsory purchase orders (CPOs) and how changes to improve the CPO system in the Planning and Compulsory Purchase Bill should help RDAS to deliver their regeneration strategies.
