Abstract
This paper presents a perspective on how to raise finance for urban regeneration without the benefit of a standard formula and pot of money provided by central government. Rather than review past government approaches which did provide those things, this paper focuses on key stages in developing a regeneration programme and the finance needed for each: creating a team, leading to the employment of regeneration staff; creating a template, a strategy or masterplan for the regeneration programme; completing tasks, the delivery of individual programme elements or projects. The paper notes several UK funding opportunities to explore for each stage, giving guidance on how to find more information.
