In this paper I shall outline the problems we are addressing in urban
regeneration in the U.K., and the fundamental trends which give rise t
o these problems. Secondly I want briefly to review where I think we h
ave got to in tackling these problems, the achievements we have to our
credit and the failures. Then finally I shall consider the agenda for
the future - what we must do if we are to tackle these problems succe
ssfully.
