This publication builds on the work that the Smith Institute has undertaken in shaping the policy debate on regeneration and renewal. It follows on from the work we have completed on housing, regional policy and economic development, and complements the recent reports by government and others on regeneration in a recession. The essays, by leading players in the field, offer a unique set of perspectives on the effects of the downturn as well as a menu of ideas and recommendations on the future direction of regeneration policy. The world of regeneration has been turned upside down by the credit crunch; we hope that this publication can provide some guidance on what needs to change in order to prepare for the upturn.
