| Abstract: | This paper draws from research into the evolution of plans to create significant new ‘sustainable’ residential development in the south-central sub-region of England and examines the ambiguous and uncertain ways in which attempts were made to translate original policy intentions to generate ‘sustainable communities’ into practice. It notes the stated Government ambitions to manage a wholesale change in national and local housing provision, and explores attempts to foster a model of sub-regional governance that could oversee local ‘growth’, raising questions about the extent to which the model adopted was ill-equipped, naive or simply ill-conceived. |
