EspañolSUSTAINABLE COMMUNITIES PLAN
The 'Sustainable Communities Plan' was launched in 2003 and is a key policy of the Office of the Deputy Prime Minister in guiding its regeneration and departmental objectives. It lead to the a range of policies and plans which are in effect a spatial plan for the whole of England. The plan interacts with a number of flagship regeneration policies such as The Northern Way, Thames Gateway and the Academy for Sustainable Communities [1].
The government defined a sustainable community as:
:''Sustainable communities are places where people want to live and work, now and in the future. They meet the diverse needs of existing and future residents, are sensitive to their environment, and contribute to a high quality of life. They are safe and inclusive, well planned, built and run, and offer equality of opportunity and good services for all.''[2].
Amongst other policies the Sustainable Communities Plan aimed to regenerate the industrial urban belt in northern England, stretching from Hull to Liverpool and provide hundreds of thousands of homes in South East England centred around the key growth areas of the Thames Gateway, around Luton and Milton Keynes, and the wider area around Cambridge[3].
