About the Book

This book examines regional development problems in the UK in the mid-1980s both nationally and from the perspective of the major problem regions. The last decade has seen major changes in policies aimed at reducing regional and urban inequality in the UK. Conventional regional policies have been progressively reduced while a variety of area-based economic initiatives have been introduced by both central and local government. The geography of growth and decline has also changed with many formerly prosperous areas experiencing rapid decline in their industrial fortunes. Of equal significance has been the transformation in the political climate within which questions of regional development and inequality are framed and debated. This book begins with a review of the significant national economic and policy changes which have affected regional development since the 1960s. The various authors contribute to a region-by-region approach, revealing the diversity of experience and of current views about regional policy and how government should respond to regional and local economic problems. The book is aimed at practitioners in the field of local and regional economic development whether as politician or planner, as well as senior first-degree students taking courses in political and economic geography, regional economics, or urban and regional studies in departments of planning or social policy.
