Description:
Inner City Policy in Great Britain The British urban policy has been progressively established during the sixties as a response to the difficulties of rapid urbanisation resulting from the industrial revolution of the XIXth century. However neither the efforts undertaken at a social and economic level by labour as well as tory governments nor the definition of new partnerships through numerous development or rehabilitation programmes have produced the awaited results. Until yet, urban policy has not matched the structural problems which could only be solved in the framework of a radical transformation of the British State and of a redefinition of its means of intervention.
