Transforming places, changing lives: a framework for regeneration

The Government has published 'Transforming places, changing lives: a framework for regeneration'. The document sets out proposals to:

• Co-ordinate and prioritise regeneration investment - including criteria investment priorities and for developing regional regeneration priorities maps;
• Align investment behind local and regional regeneration priorities;
• Focus regeneration investment on tackling the underlying economic challenges holding back deprived areas, focusing on jobs and enterprise.

It also includes proposals around how best to measure regeneration outcomes and how this framework should aid the devolution of more decisions to the regional and local level.

The Government is proposing that the new framework should apply in London but 'recognises its implementation will need to reflect London's unique Governance arrangements'.
