I can explain how consumer spending has changed over time and how local councils are regenerating the high street.
Lesson details
Key learning points
- Consumer spending in the UK has shifted towards online shopping and experience-based purchases.
- The decline of the high street has been accelerated by the growth of online companies and Covid-19 lockdowns.
- Local councils are using regeneration strategies to improve retail areas and boost local economies.
- The Brixton Arches case highlights how regeneration can raise rents and displace long-standing businesses.
- This highlights the link between regeneration and gentrification in high street redevelopment.
Keywords
Regeneration - when an area is improved by investing in buildings, transport, shops, and public spaces to make it better for people to live, work and visit
Gentrification - when an area becomes more expensive because of new developments, causing original residents or businesses to be displaced as rents and prices go up
Common misconception
Regeneration benefits everyone in the community.
Pupils may think regeneration always helps everyone, but if it is not planned in an inclusive manner it can lead to gentrification, displacing long-standing residents and businesses.
