The English urban policy debate: an urban policy for all
If we recognise that 'policy' is a social construct there still remains the question of what is specifically 'urban' about urban policy. Because contemporary British societies are urban societies (Blackman, 1995, 12) the value of devising policy for discrete urban areas or territorial parcels, such as 'inner cities', 'housing estates' and 'industrial enclaves' has become limited. Whether the Cities Policy Unit in the Cabinet Office is equipped to perform a meaningful brokerage role is debatable, especially as it lacks spending might (Robson, 2014). [...]it could be argued that any such 'Unit' - and there has been many such predecessors - will struggle to engender a more nuanced appreciation of sociospatial transformations throughout Whitehall, perhaps because such discrete Units tend to suffer from the 'criteria of administrative practice' critiqued above.
