Times New RomanMANAGING DECLINE OR REGENERATING COMMUNITIES: LOCAL
STRATEGIES FOR TACKLING CHANGING DEMAND FOR HOUSING
Monday, 5th July 1999 West Yorkshire Playhouse, Playhouse Square,
Leeds
This mini-conference aims to promote informed debate between
academics and practitioners from different policy, theoretical and
methodological backgrounds regarding the challenge presented by low
demand for housing and unpopular neighbourhoods. Particular attention
will be given to community consultation and involvement in assessing
and implementing the options available for regeneration and managing
decline.
The morning plenary will introduce the complexities of low demand,
unpopular neighbourhoods and community involvement in managing a
response. Titled “Anticipating and preventing low demand” and
“Responding to changing demand” the afternoon sessions will address
understanding the strategies for managing and regenerating declining
neighbourhoods and engaging communities in the assessment and
employment of appropriate options, ranging from targeted investment to
withdrawal.
