Clone Town Britain Clone Town Britain The groundbreaking investigation into the effects of chain stores on our high streets. June 6, 2005 // Written by: Ruth Potts,Andrew Simms,Petra Kjell Clone Town Britain: The survey results on the bland state of the nation, reveals for the first time, the balance between clone towns, border towns and home towns in the UK.

For the future good of our high streets we need a better understanding of the social and economic life of local worlds in the context of global change Profound changes are occurring on high streets throughout the country. In order for policies aimed at their planning and stewardship to succeed, a greater understanding of how high streets adapt to changing economic conditions and serve their neighbourhoods is needed. Suzanne Hall argues for a multidisciplinary approach in understanding the social and economic particularities of high streets. Since late 2008, economic crises and legislated cuts have reverberated across Britain, impressing on a daily basis that we live and work in an austere and volatile present. The High Street London report (2010) commissioned by the Mayor’s Office emphasises ‘the local’ role of London’s high streets for a ‘local’ populous, and is representative of recent policy shifts towards recognising small shops and high streets in London within the larger national policy emphasis on Localism. However, larger changes in the broader Walworth neighbourhood are imminent. About the author

'Start Up Street' - what will you start up? - News - Urbanism - A+DS The High Street is a key element of our settlements. Its role as the central space of villages, towns and cities has been challenged by changes in the pattern of retail, of leisure, and living. In many High Streets in many settlements there are vacant and underutilised assets. In some cases the High Street is under pressure. It is an issue of concern for many, from businesses, to citizens, to investors. Meeting the challenge of how to re-think the High Street as a central place requires creative thinking about how we make the best of what we already have. The project is open to anyone with an interest in High Streets, how they work, and how they can be enhanced. Details of the events to test the Start Up Street Prototype are available, where to register and how to participate are available at this link.
