Frontier Economics – The Evidence for Neighbourhood Focused Regeneration

As part of ICON’s ongoing research into the state of neighbourhoods in England, Frontier Economics was commissioned to perform three rapid evidence reviews.

This report combines the findings from the reviews, seeking to support ICON in answering the following questions:

1. How should a neighbourhood and a neighbourhood intervention be defined?
2. Why do neighbourhoods matter?
3. How do people experience living in the most deprived neighbourhoods?
4. What are the interventions and/or delivery mechanisms that have had most social and economic impact at the neighbourhood level?
5. What does this mean for building an effective neighbourhood policy both nationally and at regional and local authority levels?

This report examines evidence and interventions from both the UK and internationally.
