Local authorities and industrial property markets

Abstract

Examines why many local authorities have become involved in industrial property initiatives since the mid‐1970s and the range of initiatives offered, and how these are finance – DoE urban programme, various grants and EC assistance. Concludes that property‐based initiatives are likely to endure since they retain industrial production in inner cities, although the increasingly market‐oriented approach of local authorities makes the impact of such initiatives hard to control.
