Town Centre Investment Management is a new way to halt and reverse the decline of British Town Centres, using a version of CPO powers. The new approach seeks to bring investment back into town centres through the application of compulsory purchase powers in a new way to allow for joined up investment management. The thinking is summarised and presented in a paper published for consideration and consultation with the Retail industry.

The Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors has launched a free small business retail lease to attract new and independent retailers into vacant high street space. The lease, developed in collaboration with the British Retail Consortium (BRC), has been devised to simplify the often complex and time-consuming process associated with commercial property leases. The new, freely available contract will enable quicker occupation of retail premises by SMEs, helping to support the independent retail sector and stimulate the British high street.
UK Out-of-Town Retail Marketbeat: June 2012

This is a four page review of market trends and price movements in the UK out-of-town retail property market, including analysis of yields and rents, as well as commentary on occupier and investment trends. This report chronicles the stories of five very different cities, in the USA, South Korea and Colombia, that became stronger after freeways were removed or reconsidered. They demonstrate that fixing cities harmed by freeways, and improving public transport, involves a range of context-specific and context-sensitive solutions. This perspective contrasts with the one-size-fits-all approach that was used in the 1950s and 1960s to push freeways through urban neighbourhoods. The belief then was that freeways would reduce congestion and improve safety in cities.
