AnnotationAs part of the Government's strategy for tackling economic and social deprivation, a range of new action zones and area initiatives have been introduced. Gillian R Smith has examined their rationale, and assesses the lessons for targeting areas for special action in CASEpaper 25, Area-based initiatives: the rationale and options for area targeting. This CASEbrief summarises its content with regard to locations of area-based initiatives and the arguments for and against. Social and economic deprivation and poor environmental conditions are geographically concentrated and the gap may be widening. Explanations for the geographical concentration of labour market deprivation are outlined. (RH).
