Book Review: The urban transportation bible

Metro Maps of the World By Mark Ovenden. Published by Capital Transport Publishing. ISBN 185414 272 0 Available, price £25, from Waterstones.

Diary: Open season for scams, a stress cure for Brum, and Lost stays put

19 March 2004

"Felicitations, good friends, I am crown prince of the north Nottinghamshire coalfields and have £16.7 million of public money to give you, if only you deposit £100 in my bank account." Sounds like a strangely familiar email, yet with a bizarre regeneration twist? That's because it is!

Turning point: Harsh lesson on housing needs

19 March 2004

My major turning point came when I was still relatively young. I'd left home in Newcastle and enjoyed living in a student bedsit in London's trendy Hampstead. But once I got married and had an unplanned pregnancy, things changed. With only a temporary job, an unemployed husband and a baby on the way, housing became a big problem.

Community Renewal: An instant access deal earning interest

19 March 2004

Edinburgh's Wester Hailes estate was seen by banks as a bad risk with no potential. But cooperative working with a bank ready to give it the best community deal has resulted in an innovative agreement that is leading by example.

Community Renewal: Tapping into local talent

19 March 2004

Godwin Ohajah asks whether, by failing to acknowledge and work with skills and resources within their areas, regeneration organisations are missing crucial opportunities to make a lasting impact.

Editorial: Whitehall shift to the regions must include top jobs

19 March 2004

Sir Michael Lyons's long-awaited report suggests that London and the South-East could afford to shed as many as 60,000 public sector jobs over the next 15 years. In an initial wave of relocation, the Government has identified almost 20,000 jobs that could be moved to the regions and a further 7,000 that could be cut altogether.

Opinion: Taster course in social break up

19 March 2004

I see that consultancy DTZ Pieda has come up with the same view of the likely contents of the Lyons Review of the potential of public sector relocation that I advanced months ago. But if you think 10,000s of jobs are coming to a regeneration hotspot near you, you need counselling.

Opinion: Cut losses on unsaveable sites

19 March 2004

There's a view within some corridors of Whitehall that the main challenge for regeneration is to tackle worklessness. Certainly, the condition of effectively full employment we enjoy as a country does make you wonder at the durable unemployment that persists in many areas. Such work-lessness creates ghettos. Without work, or the prospect of work, these places have no economic purpose. They are destined for decline and the application of regeneration funding simply delays or buffers this inevitability.

Opinion: For brownfield success, look to the pioneers

19 March 2004

Jon Rouse, about to leave the Commission for Architecture and the Built Environment for the Housing Corporation, ran a workshop in Letchworth last week. It was an archetypal Rouseian performance, echoing his days as Urban Task Force secretary: he ran the show, impeccably of course, becoming his own roving microphone and fixing the blinds himself. If you ever get shipwrecked, have Jon alongside; in no time at all, he'd have the island economy humming and inward investment pouring in.
