Over the last decade British industry has gone through a timely and unprecedented period of restructuring; and urban regeneration has become a major political priority. This practical book assesses the changing nature of the industrial and business space property market which has developed out of the recession of the early 1980's. The book shows how business space development schemes can be initiated and implemented to revitalise urban areas. It covers the investment and development market, how schemes are financed and the different techniques used to appraise their financial viability, the layout and design characteristics of industrial, workshop and business space developments of all sizes, the influences of central government's economic, fiscal and planning policy, local authority initiatives to revitalise inner urban areas and the variety of methods to implement new development including partnerships and negotiated solutions.
