Area Programmes
Purpose
This module focuses on Area Programmes. They have become an important mechanism for addressing the needs of localities with concentrations of problems such as unemployment, educational under-attainment, low incomes, or crime.
Benefits
Area Programmes are clearly an important means of achieving objectives related to spatial planning, and such programmes need to be integrated with city and regional spatial strategies. However, problems have emerged in terms of co-ordination and integration of the many new area programmes. This knowledge builder develops your awareness of the topic and these related problems.
Audience
Urban and regional planners and all those wishing to build and assess their knowledge of the topic.
Learning method
A knowledge builder which considers the topic and the issues relating to Area Programmes offering a detailed overview of the subject. Additionally a comprehensive range of further reading for those who wish to become expert in the subject. Includes voluntary self assessment for recording continuous professional development (CPD).
