Funding Programmes for Urban Regeneration

Purpose

Many programmes exist to fund urban regeneration in the UK. Some are targeted on particular areas with concentrations of problems such as unemployment, educational under-attainment, low incomes and crime. Others are targeted on particular groups, sectors or issues. This module focuses on those programmes that are not area-based.

Benefits

Funding programmes for urban regeneration are a key means by which social, economic and environmental regeneration outcomes can be achieved. As such, they represent an important means of achieving aims in relation to spatial planning policy.

Audience

Urban and regional planners and all those wishing to build and assess their knowledge of the topic.

Learning method

A detailed knowledge builder focused on specific aspects of urban regeneration. Additionally 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).
