Development Initiatives Under the Tony Blair Government
websitebuilder-hub • 22 December 2017
The era when Gordon Brown was chancellor of the exchequer in the UK was a time of great innovation and experimentation in the field of regeneration and economic development with ideas adopted from the US and Europe at breakneck speed.
It was the time of the regional development agencies which were charged with promoting and supporting local businesses and employment. Many of the initiatives adopted by the RDAs have since been abandoned or superseded. But some ideas continue to have merit.
OpenCities research collated some of these initiatives for the Middle East and North Africa department of the World Bank.
