Abstract: Evidence regarding outcomes from area regeneration schemes has been substantially enhanced with the publication of the final reports from the 2001-2010 New Deal for Communities (NDC) evaluation.Policy implications arising from this work suggests there is an argument for area regeneration programmes because they achieve change in relation to place.However, people-based change may best be left largely to existing agencies, the community dimension needs to be focused and instrumental, partnership working should primarily revolve around engaging with agencies having a remit over 'place', and the whole policy arena needs to be given a sense of realism: even in this relatively generous ABI, total per capita funding amounts to about £100 pa, per outcome.There must be considerable doubt as to whether central government will continue to fund regeneration policy in the current financial climate.
