Regeneration and infrastructure

Sustainable economic growth requires the necessary transport and communications infrastructure, suitable business premises, the provision of appropriate employment and housing sites, as well as mechanisms to provide the required investment. 

RDAs use investment in infrastructure and regeneration to address these challenges and to drive forward long-term economic growth.  They work to improve economic performance by intervening where private sector action alone is not sufficient to deliver the desired outcomes.   

RDAs carefully target their investment to deliver the best long-term social, environmental and economic returns for these areas and their communities.  They seek to invest in order to create the right conditions for business growth, including investment in infrastructure and land use.  They work in close partnership with businesses, local authorities, and other key local bodies to create sustainable vibrant communities that improve people’s quality of life and where people want to live and can work, and where businesses want to invest.
