Cities Unlimited - Making urban regeneration work (13th August 2008)
A decade of regeneration policies has failed to stop the inequality of opportunity between towns and cities in the North and those in the South East increasing. In this third report in the series on regeneration in the UK, the authors recommend a series of radical proposals that would reverse the trend and inject a much needed momentum back into regeneration policy. The key recommendations from the report are to increase the size of London by allowing landowners the right to convert industrial land into residential land in areas of above average employment; expand Oxford and Cambridge and for the Government to roll up current regeneration funding streams and allocate the money direct to local authorities.
