Inconsistent approaches to regeneration?

'Changing the Patterns of the Past: Putting People First in the Regeneration of North Belfast' is a new report produced by Participation and the Practice of Rights Project. The report analyses six urban regeneration masterplans covering north Belfast and finds serious problems with them.

The Department for Social Development (DSD) is at different stages in developing six regeneration Masterplans for North Belfast.

Many of these plans were initiated by Direct Rule Ministers. All six Masterplans are ideally placed in or between deprived electoral wards, giving the government a strategic opportunity to reduce inequalities and tackle social and economic deprivation in the target areas.

However, the PPR report identifies serious concerns about how the proposals for these Masterplans, which include heavy investment commitments, are being developed, especially in relation to strategic planning, consistency and equality measures.
