Summary

The study aims to review a number of theoretical approaches related to the spatial organisation of economic activity, with a view to addressing the impact, at a national scale, of locally-focused regeneration policies. The research has sought to answer whether, even if it is not their primary purpose, regeneration projects can lead to net national job creation or productivity enhancements. The focus has been on whether and under what conditions such policies can lead to net national welfare gains, net of any displacement and crowding-out effects.

Although this report was commissioned by the Office, the findings and recommendations are those of the authors and do not necessarily represent the views of the Office of the Deputy Prime Minister.
