| Annotation | Area-based policies have become a significant part of the Labour Government's approach to tackling social exclusion. This paper reviews the long-running debate about whether area-based policies can make a significant impact on poverty and social exclusion. There is a strong tradition of academic work that argues that this is a misguided strategy. The authors argue that recent work, both in the US and the UK, suggests that there may be causal factors at work which derive from area-based problems that suggest area-based solutions. However, too little is understood about what these factors are and how they might be addressed. Deeper local studies are required to tease out these effects. The authors describe how they selected 12 low income areas, and what they have learned about the spatial concentrations of poverty in the process. An appendix lists poverty wards by region and district. (RH). |
