Publisher's Synopsis
Experimentation and innovation in public policy requires that the lessons that may be learned from new approaches are effectively disseminated. Nowhere is this more apparent than in the field of local regeneration where local bodies - partnerships and local government authorities - are developing fresh approaches to economic and social problems.;This report provides an insight into the information available to directors of local regeneration organizations, how frequently different sources are used and how valuable they are. Drawing on work already done in this area in the US, this report offers direct evidence on which improved strategies for disseminating the results of innovation and experimentation can be based.
