Although urban regeneration is a worldwide issue, it has been especially present in the urban areas throughout the UK in the last 30 years, with the government introducing many different schemes to try and combat the causes and consequences of urban decline. This essay will discuss them and their varying degrees of success. Urban Development Corporations were set up in the 1980s and 1990s, and took the stance of improving the physical, economic and social state of inner city areas through building new infrastructure on derelict and vacant land. These UDCs were given planning approval powers that encouraged them to purchase land, build the new infrastructure and improve the marketing to attract outside investment to the area. The motive behind this was that private investment would be four to five times greater than the initial public spending.

With reference to waste management in urban areas discuss the extent to which sustainability can be achieved? A sustainable city is one that meets the needs of its both its present and future inhabitants, and an effective waste management system is often an underlying principle deployed in order to achieve successful sustainability in urban areas. Waste management usually refers to materials produced by human activity, and defined as the collection, transport, processing and disposal of this waste. It is of vital importance - particularly with recent global warming issues - that urban areas implement a successful waste management scheme, and examples such as the Bristol ‘Poo Bus’ and the ‘Waste to Energy’ programme in Copenhagen show that across the world urbanised areas are trying to address the issue. The more traditional forms of waste management, such as incineration, landfill and composting are heavily debated; which is the best method of waste disposal?
Q. ‘The decentralisation of retailing and other services has had a major impact on urban areas.’ To what extent do you agree with this statement? City centres and central business districts are usually recognised as being places where businesses, major shopping areas, tourist attractions and major corporate companies are based.

To what extent can urban areas be sustainable? Sustainability refers to meeting the needs of current and future generations, whilst preserving the environment for future generations, also without compromising the future needs and plans. Recently the management of transport has been increasingly needed due to the increasing amount of ownerships, for example, since 1950; there are 30 million more cars on UK roads, and the increasing awareness of greenhouse gas emissions which contribute to climate change. Over the past 30 years the world’s population has grown rapidly, also leading to rapid urban growth as people move in from the surrounding rural areas for better jobs, better quality of life and a wider variety of resources. However, by this taking place there has been a huge increase in transport congestion, as seen on 16th of February 1980.

(Oxford University Press, 2013) The 'traffic in towns' report was written by Buchanan when he was commisioned by the U.K government.
