UK Urban Policies, Strategies chosen by local or central government to…

- - - - Conflict over usage of public space: older Bengali women stressed by there being to many men and need to be escorted down the road by their husbands. So they are now socially excluded from their area
      - Loss of local convenience shops and displacement of minority residents from public spaces as visitor economy expanded rapidly with bars and nightclubs
      - Inappropriate juxtaposition of land used and activities nightclubs and bars next to a mosque
      - Negatives associated with the night economy (drugs/prostitution)
      - New tenants contributed to the tremendous growth in the housing market and house prices, changing the character of the neighbourhood probably forever (gentrification)
      - The branding as Banglatown is a formulaic way to market a minority neighbourhood which reinforces rather than challenges stereotypes
      - The north side of Brick Lane falls in the 7th decile on the IMD and the South side falls in the 2nd decile meaning there has been an improvement in deprecation but also a widening economic inequality
      - Government allocated funding based on a bidding process rather than giving it to areas in most need
      - Resources were spread thinly across large areas rather than focusing on those in most need
      - Money was lost by local authorities preparing for bids who did not win funding
