1997년 노동당 정권 출범 이후, 영국 중앙정부는 지역발전정책의 분권화(예 : RDA의 설립, 지역의회 창설 등)를 대대적으로 추진하였다. 이러한 배경 하에서, 본고는 영국 Region 수준에서의 지역발전정책 분권화의 중요한 제도적 기반을 살펴보았다. 즉 2002년부터 시행되어 온 영국 중앙정부의 잉글랜드 9개 지역 RDA에 대한 포괄적 예산지원, 그리고 그에 대응해서 각 지역 RDA가 중앙정부와 합의 하에 설정한 지역발전 목표의 추구와 중앙정부의 실적 모니터링을 고찰하였다. 그리고 분권화된 지역발전정책의 필요성이 높아지고 있는 우리나라의 상황에 영국에서의 분권화가 제시할 수 있는 시사점 및 향후 과제를 간략히 논의하였다.

The UK Government's approach to how to deliver regeneration in its towns and cities has changed considerably in recent years. Traditionally, urban regeneration policy focused on reversing physical, economic and social decline in an area where market forces would not do this without intervention. Since 2010 urban regeneration has become a vital part of the Government's approach to increasing local growth and competitiveness and building a strong and balanced economy. The current emphasis is on a place-based approach to regeneration that builds on the particular strengths of different places to drive growth and addresses the factors that hold them back. This paper outlines the key features of current UK urban regeneration policy and how interventions to support regeneration and growth are being pursued at different spatial scales to ensure all parts of the country benefit. They include pan regional initiatives like the Northern Powerhouse and Midlands Way, to groups of local authorities operating at a sub regional level (combined authorities/city regions), Local Enterprise Partnerships, and a variety of smaller scale programmes delivering regeneration in areas of economic and social decline. The paper explains some of the policy instruments and funding programmes available to support regeneration, and provides case studies of some major urban regeneration projects that illustrate the new approach including housing and infrastructure improvements like the planned High Speed Rail 2 line. These are supporting regeneration through the creation of strategic partnerships involving government, places and investors. The paper concludes with some lessons from past and future regeneration schemes to improve their effectiveness and impact on places and enhance local growth potential.
