Regeneration initiatives will increase the number of available houses in an area, which means there will be more homes for people.

Pros

Cons

  • Pro claim 1, children below

    As many people are moving from the countryside to cities, it is important to ensure there is enough housing there for future generations.

  • Pro claim 2, children below

    More homes will make the market more competitive, which means that the prices will be more affordable for the current and future residents.

  • Con claim 1, children below

    Many of these homes will be unaffordable to those who need them most.

    These new developments may be of poor quality, since there would be a desire to build them as quickly as possible to meet government deadlines.
