A blueprint for the rich
Article Abstract:
The UK's Urban Task Force, which is to issue guidelines on the revival of cities, must be aware that using private developers to undertake regeneration projects is not compatible with the construction of mixed housing. It is vital that the Urban Task Force avoids encouraging urban regeneration schemes aimed solely at the wealthy, while ignoring the needs of families and those on low incomes. There is already a danger of this happening in Vauxhall, London, England.
