Regional Development Agencies (RDAs) were established in April 1999 as non-departmental public bodies. Their remit is to promote the economic well-being of the English regions and to further the goals of sustainable development and social inclusion.This report explores the interface between the regional agenda for RDAs and the local delivery of area-based regeneration. The study is based on interviews with those involved in RDAs at senior, board and executive levels, and provides analysis of the regional strategies of the eight existing RDAs.Regional agencies and area-based regeneration looks at:new forms of governance developed alongside the implementation of the RDAs;communication and consultation with regional stakeholders;the development and implementation of regional strategies;the role of RDAs in managing local regeneration;the complexities, contradictions and positive possibilities that devolution provides for regional development. ·[vbTab][vbTab]Regional agencies and area-based regeneration is essential reading for policy makers and those working in RDAs, urban regeneration partnerships, communities involved in urban regeneration and national and local government, as well as anyone with an interest in area regeneration strategies and practice.

Decades of regeneration activity have not halted the decline in prosperity and the social exclusion of sections of British society. Starting in 1996, the Joseph Rowntree Foundation took action to assess the nature of this activity, to discover what works and what does not, and to search out examples of good practice. Its Area Regeneration Programme covered every aspect of regeneration policy and practice from the national to the neighbourhood level, from labour market analysis to community development.Regeneration in the 21st century summarises the findings of the programme, which include over 60 research studies. It provides an overview of knowledge to date, and identifies the key challenges that we face in the 21st century. Analysed by specialists in each field, the report considers:the impact of geography and reputation on area disadvantage;why community involvement is vital, and how it can be implemented;the effect of joblessness on regeneration, and how it can be mitigated;why and how some partnerships succeed;the need for integration, including between top-down-bottom-up and national-local initiatives.·[vbTab][vbTab]Regeneration in the 21st century is vital reading for policy makers, regeneration partnerships - local, regional and national - and for anyone interested in the regeneration of Britain.

A radically new understanding of and practical approach to climate change by noted environmentalist Paul Hawken, creator of the New York Times bestseller Drawdown Regeneration offers a visionary new approach to climate change, one that weaves justice, climate, biodiversity, equity, and human dignity into a seamless tapestry of action, policy, and transformation that can end the climate crisis in one generation. It is the first book to describe and define the burgeoning regeneration movement spreading rapidly throughout the world. Regeneration describes how an inclusive movement can engage the majority of humanity to save the world from the threat of global warming, with climate solutions that directly serve our children, the poor, and the excluded. This means we must address current human needs, not future existential threats, real as they are, with initiatives that include but go well beyond solar, electric vehicles, and tree planting to include such solutions as the fifteen-minute city, bioregions, azolla fern, food localization, fire ecology, decommodification, forests as farms, and the number one solution for the world: electrifying everything. Paul Hawken and the nonprofit Regeneration Organization are launching a series of initiatives to accompany the book, including a streaming video series, curriculum, podcasts, teaching videos, and climate action software. Regeneration is the inspiring and necessary guide to inform the rapidly spreading climate movement.

Approaches to urban regeneration have changed dramatically throughout Europe and the USA over recent decades, drawing on notions of public-private partnership, growth coalitions and local spatial alliances. In this engaging book John McCarthy provides critical consideration of such theories in terms of their application to practice. He shows how these notions are used to explain the nature and underlying processes of urban development and to further objectives for urban regeneration. To test their applicability, he examines the case of Dundee, including the role of the Dundee Partnership, a model for many aspects of partnership working. The resulting conclusions suggest ways in which the practice of urban regeneration can be improved in terms of inclusion, equity and sustainability.

Current regeneration policy in the UK emphasises the importance of community involvement in regeneration initiatives. This report questions the process of such involvement and its management. It uniquely adopts a cross-country comparison of policy and practice in England, Scotland and Northern Ireland to draw out lessons for each nation.It is especially topical given the importance placed on such partnerships by the Labour Government in the UK and by the European Union.This report will be important reading for policy makers and practitioners in the field of regeneration of rural communities.

The Committee's report examines the contribution of historic buildings to urban regeneration; the role and effectiveness of public agencies responsible for the built environment; the impact of the planning system and listing of historic buildings on urban regeneration; the role played by government departments to promote the historic environment; and fiscal and legislative reform options. The Committee concludes that regenerating historic buildings can reinforce a sense of local community and act as a catalyst for urban regeneration. However, historic buildings cannot be retained as relics of a bygone age, but new uses and sensitive adaptations allowed where the original use is no longer viable. The report highlights the shortage of conservation officers and the skills deficit in knowledge of regeneration and funding issues. It also call on the DCMS and the ODPM to working more closely together on their cross-cutting responsibilities, in order to boost the potential contributions made by historic buildings to the local economy. The current planning system is also criticised for causing delays and uncertainty, with developers being subject to as many as nine different regimes, including planning controls, listed building consent and conservation area controls.

"Public Health for the 21st Century is a comprehensive consideration of the emerging challenges for public health policy makers. Its structure makes it accessible to those wishing to dip into specific areas as well as being both coherent and comprehensible to those who may wish to read the whole volume. It is a valuable addition to any public health library." Journal of Environmental Health Research "This is a timely and comprehensive review of the new public health. The book demonstrates a capacity and readiness of the public health community to engage the population to achieve the 'fully engaged scenario' that remains the major health challenge for the UK. Replacing 'political restlessness' with political resolve might be the key ingredient that has been missing." Tribune "The second edition of this text is a very welcome addition to the public health library. The sweep of its interests and the vision it encapsulates marks it out as a true standard bearer for public health into the 21st Century. Its approach is comprehensive and its subject matter compelling. In spite of the challenges ahead for public health, the book reminds us of the quality of those practicing and writing about the subject in the UK today." Mike Kelly, Director of the Centre for Public Health Excellence, The National Institute for Health and Clinical Excellence (NICE) This bestselling book has been substantially updated to take account of changing policy and practice. The introduction has been re-written to form a new chapter giving a comprehensive overview of the field of public health, making the book much more accessible to a wider audience. Throughout this book, the authors analyse and reflect upon the influence of history, research and procedures upon contemporary public health practice. The text explores the debates surrounding the meaning of public health and looks at the policy changes that are reshaping its context. Also examined are the contributions that epidemiology and health economics make to public health. Public Health for the 21st Century is essential reading for those involved in developing and implementing policies for health improvement, health protection and the reduction of inequalities in health. It also appeals to a wider audience of professionals, lay people and students who are interested in the wider health and well being of their communities.

This is the third major revision of a text first published in 1982 with the title Urban Geography: A First Approach and in 1990 as Cities in Space: City as Place. The study of urban geography remains an important part of the geographical curriculum both in schools and in higher education. This book analyses life in an urban society and in a world which is being transformed by the processes of urbanization: to study urban geography is to study environments and phenomena significant to our everyday lives. This is an introductory text which aims to present both more traditional and newer approaches to urban geography in an accessible and educational way.
