the future?
calls for greater devolution of power to english cities, leading to more effective place based urban policies
Urban Development Corporations - 1980's
set up to regenerate inner city areas. made up from local people, encouraged to spend money on infrastructure, buying land and marketing to attract private investment. funding came from the government
successes
- effective in attracting new businesses to run-down areas and improving UDC environments. by the mid 1990's there had been over £12billion private sector investments and created 200,000 jobs
failures
- the property led approach did little to tackle other problems, such as social and environmental problems, and such as in the London Docklands, locals did not benefit.
City Challenge - 1990's
cities had to compete with each other for government grants. the cities which produced the best schemes were awarded grants. links were formed between the private sector and the local community and the LA. strategies focused on social economic & environmental problems in run down parts of a city.
successes
- bidding resulted in more successful schemes being created. data from 1997 shows that cit challenge has improved 40,000 houses, created 60,000 jobs and claimed derelict land back.
failures
- resources were thinly spread over large areas. areas which previously had funding due to needing it, no longer received funding as their bids were unsuccessful. money was lost on developing unsuccessful schemes.
