What is an Urban Regeneration Company (URC)?
Urban Regeneration Companies (URCs) are responsible for leading and co-ordinating the re-development of, and new investment in, declining urban areas. They are independent organisations uniting national, regional and local public and private stakeholders in key towns and cities through a company or partnership structure. Their principle focus is to engage the private sector in an agreed physical and economic regeneration strategy, developing a comprehensive approach to tackling problems, and identifying opportunities in their areas.
