The Reform and Practice of Urban Renewal Policies in the UK Since 2010

Liu Xiaoyi, Yun Yingxia, Ren Lijian

Keywords: Urban Renewal Policies of the UK; Policy Reform; Practice of Urban Renewal Policies

Abstract:

Facing with the reality of national economic recession, the British coalition government reforms the original urban renewal policies to boost the economy since 2010. From the perspective of policy and its practice, this paper expounds a series of new policy innovation initiatives taken on by the British coalition government in response to the unclear, unsustainable objectives and other challenges of the original urban renewal policies, such as Local Enterprise Partnerships and Enterprise Zones, City Deals, the Regional Growth Fund, the Neighbourhood Planning and other social welfare policies. Then, it analysises the effectiveness, issues and adjustments of these policies. The research on the reform and practice of British urban renewal policies can help to understand the latest development in the UK, and to provide references to the redevelopment planning in China.
