Throughout the 1980s and into the 1990s, policy for inner city
regeneration underwent a transformation from a reliance on central
and local government activity and the use of public funds, to a
much heavier dependence on private sector activities and private
investment. This new strategy was based on a conviction on the part
of government that the "engine of enterprise" could achieve in the
inner cities what local government had so signally failed to do. It
consisted of using public resources as incentives to attract
commerce, business and industry back to designated sectors in or
near to inner city areas. Regeneration would be development-led;
enterprise activity would burgeon in the old wastelands; new jobs
would be created; the "inner city economies" would be revitalized
and a dependent population energized by the culture of enterprise.
"The Enterprise Culture and the Inner City" evaluates the
effectiveness of this strategy in alleviating urban deprivation.
The authors examines four case studies - two Urban Development
Corporations, one local government-private sector, and one purely
private development - and make detailed analyses of job creation.
