Abstract
The paper looks at the interlinked physical and social problems of Britain’s inner-urban areas from the viewpoint of a volume house builder. It describes the tactical failures of large-scale demolition in the 1960s and 1970s and of the current policy of rehabilitation. It proposes a new more flexible strategy based on dedicated management teams with the powers needed to match solutions to specific problems.

N.B. Descriptive scope is a count of how many of the five facets of empirical research are indicated by the words used in title, abstract and keywords. It is not intended as a judgement on the research; merely a count of the kind of word we would expect to indicate Phenomenon, Concepts, Theoretical framing, Empirical techniques, Analytical techniques. If all five are present, then a code of “5 PCTEA” will indicate this. If you feel the coding for this record is questionable, we welcome discussion around the terms we matched or the way we categorized them. The facet you would expect may not be coded, or a facet may be coded inappropriately. This can also bear on a larger question, of which facets should be treated as defining in construction management research. Please get in touch, and we will look at it. More details here
