In the 1980s, the Government began to push policies for inner city regeneration.
Inner city programmes have 6 main aims:
To enhance job prospects.
To bring land and buildings back to use.
Improve housing conditions.
Encourage private sector investment.
Improve the social fabric.
Improve environmental quality.

9. Urban Development Corporations
One of the major schemes to be set up was the Urban Development Corporations.
These were given powers to:
Acquire and reclaim land for REGENERATION
Promote new industrial and housing development
Support community facilities.

10. WHY DID CARDIFF NEED AN URBAN DEVELOPMENT CORPORATION?
The global demand for coal decreased and the industry started had declined after WWII.
This decline left large areas, designed in the C19th, with no major use. This was the whole Bay area
Unemployment became a problem and those who could afford to left the area. Ethnic minorities migrated inwards.
Tiger Bay and Butetown became places of multiple deprivation. Crime rates increased and there was physical deterioration of the urban fabric.
It was against this background that plans to transform Cardiff Docks into Cardiff Bay were drawn up.

11. WHEN WAS THE CBDC ESTABLISHED?
The Cardiff Bay Development Corporation was established in April 1987 to regenerate the 1,100 hectares of derelict docklands of Cardiff and Penarth.
