摘要：The UK has growing prosperity, a buoyant economy, emerging urban renaissance in the core northern cities and large amounts of new development planned for the growth areas in the south east. Conditions for the majority continue to improve. But the gaps between the better off and struggling neighbourhoods have endured. There are estimated to be at least 3,000 neighbourhoods with concentrated problems of run down housing or vandalism and graffiti. Areas of serious low demand for housing have been identified in the north and midlands. There is still much to do to improve public service delivery, and increase social inclusion. Regeneration efforts, whether publicly funded, private sector led, or facilitated by charitable funders, continue in the most disadvantaged neighbourhoods. There is a strong focus on active citizenship and community involvement running through all attempts to bring up standards and improve quality of life for low income neighbourhoods.
