    Abstract

    The UK government's framework for regeneration, "Transforming Places, Changing Lives", seeks to shape the way regeneration is conducted in England. The emphasis on economic transformation should not be unexpected, considering the Index of Multiple Deprivation - a key measure used throughout the UK literature for several years - has an emphasis on economic dimensions of deprivation. The paper critically assesses the manner in which the 'localism' of regeneration policy implementation is being promoted in the literature, while simultaneously using a national metric as an evidence base for action.
