New Deal for Communities

The New Deal for Communities (NDC) was a UK government program launched in 2000 aimed at regenerating and improving disadvantaged neighborhoods. It provided funding and resources to address issues like poor housing, unemployment, crime, and lack of services. The goal was to transform these areas into healthier, safer, and more vibrant communities by involving local residents in planning and decision-making. The NDC focused on long-term regeneration through coordinated efforts across various sectors, aiming to reduce social inequalities and improve quality of life for residents in some of England’s most deprived neighborhoods.
