One of the most interesting things about Wilson's theories is the speed and comprehensiveness with which concepts of neighbourhood disadvantage have taken root in UK regeneration policy. Documents from the the Neighbourhood Renewal Unit replicate elements of work authentically, as do policy documents including Homes for All (1995) from the Office of the Deputy Prime Minister (now Department for Communities and Local Government). Research on the reasons for this is limited to discussions of New Labour's communitarian origins and consideration of the implications of institutional power dynamics is noticeably absent.
I just wanted to note that I edited the final section of the page to fix a problem with a citation, and wound up also amending some comments about Roger Waldinger's Still the Promised City. I did some research assistance for Roger's book, so I may not be unbiased, and I haven't read it or any of Wilson's work lately either and could easily be wrong in what I said, so ... In any event, Wilson has many critics, and though Roger may be one of them, I wouldn't have put him at the top of the list. A great deal of detail could easily be added to this page.
