- Abstract
This document is an editorial from the Journal of Urban Regeneration & Renewal titled "Levelling Up: Challenges and Opportunities in Addressing Regional Inequality." The editorial discusses the historical concern about unequal social and economic outcomes, particularly in urbanizing industrial societies. It explores the concept of "Levelling Up," which refers to the UK government's efforts to improve economic and social conditions in areas affected by the decline in traditional industries. The editorial presents a series of papers that analyze and critique policies aimed at reducing regional disparities and promoting a more equal distribution of incomes and services. The themes discussed in this special edition are applicable to countries facing deindustrialization and other challenges such as technological advances, an aging population, and climate change. The editorial also highlights the importance of investing in social infrastructure and engaging local stakeholders in regeneration efforts.
