I have been reading again. This time, it’s The Work Foundation’s critique of the UK Coalition government’s urban regeneration policy, People or Place? Urban policy in the age of austerity. As such a critique wouldn’t take up more than a few pages – because they don’t really have one – the Work Foundation has wisely taken a broader view and offers an overview of all urban and indeed regional policy since it first began in the UK in the 1930s.
