    2. Regeneration Framework Current RDA role and potential future role Homes and Communities Agency Local Authority role Case study: Tees Valley

    3. Economic Development and Regeneration Regeneration and economic development have always been closely related and are often confused. We want to end that confusion. Not all activity that promotes economic development is regeneration and evidence from the last 30 years shows that economic inclusion does not necessarily follow from wider economic growth.

    4. Some thoughts on the issue People can be advantaged or disadvantaged; places are locations to live in, invest in, or not Peoples disadvantage is caused by a mix of who they are and where they live Places can cause disadvantage through: lack of quality services schools, banks, clinics availability of accessible jobs prevailing culture A lot of barriers people face are not caused by where they live; their income/health/skills/confidence and other characteristics affect where they can live

    5. Area-based Solutions

    6. Economic Development SHOULD Tackle market failure Focus on wider areas strengths and opportunities Create labour market opportunity and dynamism creating space at the bottom Support enterprise and investment Make travel to work easier SHOULD NOT Try to overcome the market Assume that all investment must be in deprived areas to benefit people from those areas

    7. RDA Comments on Regeneration Framework Helpful but approach to regeneration is still too narrow Not clear how the proposed maps will add value to existing evidence and analysis Still issues with policy alignment with other key Government departments (transport, skills etc) Importance of the private sector is not well articulated and should be strengthened Needs further clarification on the implementation of the Framework, including links to existing strategic frameworks, regional flexibility and local and sub-regional capacity

    8. Current Regional Development Agency Role: Support Sustainable Economic Development Business support Pre-start up support Innovation/ Universities Skills co-ordination Economic inclusion Energy & climate change Investment in place shaping

    9. Potential Future RDA Role Sub National Review Single Integrated Regional Strategy Delivery through others No Government response to consultation yet Meanwhile RDAs getting on with day job, in particular helping businesses and individuals in difficult times

    10. Homes and Communities Agency New Homes Agency in England 5.5 billion plus per annum 1st December 2008 start Single Conversation with Local Authorities There is a strong geographic correlation between areas of concentrated deprivation and areas of concentrated social housing.

    11. Local Authorities Key leadership role in localities Key to delivery of better outcomes for communities Fundamental to place shaping Agencies must (and do) work in partnership with localities/ local authorities Many things need to be done in real economic geography and therefore via groups of local authorities Not everything best delivered locally (business support, enterprise support, inward investment etc)

    12. Joint Working between RDAs and HCA RDAs on HCA/TSA Set up Programme Board Positive relationship with Bob Kerslake and senior staff Linkages at Board level now Pilots in SEEDA and North East to explore working relationships: Integrated Regional Strategy Housing and Regeneration Alignment of investment example to follow Best practice and quality Now HCA Regional Directors announced dialogue across all regions
