Book Description
This book provides crucial insight into the fight back against austerity by local authorities through emerging forms of municipal entrepreneurialism in housing delivery. Capturing this moment within its live context, the authors examine the ways that local authorities are moving towards increased financial independence based on their own activities to implement new forms and means of housebuilding activity. They assess these changes in the context of the long-term relationship between local and central government and argue that contemporary local authority housing initiatives represent a critical turning point, whilst also providing new ways of thinking about meting housing need.

Reviving Local Democracy
Author: Nirmala Rao
Publisher:
ISBN:
Category : Political Science
Languages : en
Pages : 252
Book Description
Reviving local democracy offers a vivid and persuasive critical examination of New Labour's programme for the modernisation of local government, providing a balanced view of the democracy and participation debate. Since 1997, the Blair government has sought to mobilise popular participation through local referenda, new political structures, electoral reform, and the creation of powerful new elected mayors. Through these mechanisms it is hoped that the lack of public interest and persistently low election turnouts will be overcome.The book draws on a wide range of new survey data to relate the crisis of local politics and governance to wider changes in the political culture. The author goes on to evaluate the government's proposals to reverse decline, asking whether this programme of reform is likely to succeed. With the aid of a series of recent surveys of both public and councillor opinion, and the successful blending of historical and empirical analysis, she offers an assessment of the realities which the democratic renewal project will have to confront in its implementation.The book is topical and timely, and highly accessible, and will appeal to students, those involved in local government, and anyone concerned to see local government become more representative, responsive, and open to popular participation.

Languages : en
Pages : 124
Book Description
This research report considers a range of issues regarding the use and implementation of planning policies designed to address the need for affordable housing. The research was carried out in all local authorities of five English regions during 2000 and 2001, with the aim of examining the effectiveness of current planning policy as set out in Guidance note 3: Housing and Circular 6/98: Planning and Affordable Housing. The findings of the report suggest a mixed picture throughout the country which is unable to identify many examples of good practice. However, by analysing the issues raised by a number of local authorities, it suggests recommendations for a better approach to the delivery of affordable housing through planning policy.
