Series: CASE Studies on Poverty, Place and Policy

Poverty street addresses one of the UK's major social policy concerns: the gap between the poorest neighbourhoods and the rest of the country. It is an account of neighbourhood decline, a portrait of conditions in the most disadvantaged areas and an up-to-date analysis of the impact of the government's neighbourhood renewal policies.

The book:

explores twelve of the most disadvantaged areas in England and Wales, from Newcastle in the north to Thanet in the south, providing the reader with a unique journey around the country's poverty map;

combines evidence from neighbourhood statistics, photographs and the accounts of local people with analysis of broader social and economic trends;

assesses the effect of government policies since 1997 and considers future prospects for reducing inequalities.

Reviews for Poverty Street: The dynamics of neighbourhood decline and renewal

""... a major contribution to our evidence base on urban regeneration. Lupton makes a powerful case for greater recognition of the differing contexts of deprived neighbourhoods and the extent to which these enable or constrain policy outcomes. It is to be hoped that policy makers both nationally and locally will think hard about what this book has to say."" Professor Mike Geddes, The Local Government Centre, University of Warwick
