About this title

Synopsis:

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.
