Regeneration in the 21st Century: Policies Into Practice : an Overview of the Joseph Rowntree Foundation Area Regeneration ProgrammeDecades of regeneration activity have not halted the decline in prosperity and the social exclusion of sections of British society. Starting in 1996, the Joseph Rowntree Foundation took action to assess the nature of this activity, to discover what works and what does not, and to search out examples of good practice. Its Area Regeneration Programme covered every aspect of regeneration policy and practice from the national to the neighbourhood level, from labour market analysis to community development.Regeneration in the 21st century summarises the findings of the programme, which include over 60 research studies. It provides an overview of knowledge to date, and identifies the key challenges that we face in the 21st century. Analysed by specialists in each field, the report considers:the impact of geography and reputation on area disadvantage;why community involvement is vital, and how it can be implemented;the effect of joblessness on regeneration, and how it can be mitigated;why and how some partnerships succeed;the need for integration, including between top-down-bottom-up and national-local initiatives.·[vbTab][vbTab]Regeneration in the 21st century is vital reading for policy makers, regeneration partnerships - local, regional and national - and for anyone interested in the regeneration of Britain. |
