depressed/declined areas Explanation: Credo che depressed e declined comunichino meglio il senso di degrado (non urbano) che qui si riferisce a bassi livelli di reddito.... The supposition is that firms prevented from locating in Surrey will relocate to currently ***depressed areas***up North and be equally profitable and successful there. However, such firms now have the option of locating anywhere from which to serve the European market, and may prefer to go east or southern Europe rather than the North of England. http://www.cesi.org.uk/statsdocs/0509/WB168-LabAn-p20-22.pdf The commission will assist with the implementation of Agenda 21 (from the Rio Earth Summit) and the Global Plan of Action (from the Habitat II Conference in Istanbul) at the local and urban level. It will pay particular attention to informal settlements and urbanisation problems in developing countries. The commission will carry on looking for solutions for implementation problems and will especially focus in that way on inner cities and ***declined areas***. It will focus on public/private partnership as a way to work on solutions for those problems and other tools that promote planned and sustainable city, town, land use and development. Community Development Trusts: local agencies for the regeneration of ***declined areas***. Usually formed within the community concerned, and controlled by residents of the area. For further details, or the names of local examples, enquire at DTA (which see). The Need For Long Term, Sustainable Jobs Almost by definition, a key characteristic of ***depressed areas*** is that they have a very low level of income. As noted above, many previous attempts to redress regional prosperity variations have looked at increasing employment and have failed to look at income levels. www.hm-treasury.gov.uk/media/42C/E2/RICS1response.pdf HTH http://www.adept.org.uk/CHEX/contents/glossary/glossary.htm http://www.fig.net/commission8/workplans/workplan02_06.htm |
