Funding Programmes and Grant Schemes to Encourage Economic Development
Purpose
This module considers the main funding programmes/grant schemes for economic development provided by central government and associated agencies (not including local government or European funding).
Benefits
Economic development is crucial to the achievement of broad spatial planning objectives, and it would seem to be desirable for economic development policy to be integrated with that for spatial planning in order that outcomes in both contexts can be achieved.
Audience
Urban and regional planners and all those wishing to build and assess their knowledge of the topic.
Learning method
A knowledge builder which provides a fact file of useful information, background and context with a detailed range of additional sources of information from the web. Also a comprehensive range of further reading is provided for those who wish to become expert in the subject. Includes voluntary self assessment for recording continuous professional development (CPD).
