Partnership schemes involve councils and businesses trying to improve a local urban area. These schemes mainly try to improve the economy, but also aim to improve social aspects and the environment, e.g. by building community centres.
In the UK, partnership schemes such as City Challenge have proved particularly successful over the years in regenerating urban areas, operating in the 1990s. 31 City Challenge schemes took place between 1992 and 1998. The government gave around £1 billion, with a further £7 billion being invested locally. They aimed to improve the local area's economy and quality of life.
