Rural regeneration in the United Kingdom offers a comprehensive yet critical examination of rural regeneration policy and governance within the country. It traces the significant patterns and processes of rural transformation since 1945 and the emergence and evolution of rural regeneration policy and governance in shaping rural spaces. A central goal of the book is to emphasize how, and to what extent, rural regeneration policy and governance are responsive to an increasingly diverse and unequal rural economy and society.

Part One delves into the context for rural regeneration, encompassing theoretical frameworks of relevance and the ways in which rural regeneration policy and governance have been framed. Specifically, it explores how the rural has been made "thinkable," and to what extent this has transcended traditional concerns with agricultural development.

Part Two showcases the key dimensions and spaces of rural regeneration. This includes examining responses to rural change from within the rural realm, encompassing community-led initiatives, cultural utilization, and the extent to which approaches may be converging or diverging within a devolved United Kingdom.

Rural Regeneration in the UK provides a comprehensive and integrated analysis of responses to rural change that will appeal to a wide range of students, scholars, and practitioners, both within the UK and internationally.
