 | | Without greater clarity about the types of housing and infrastructure required the growth areas could suffer from the same social inequalities found in inner cities, said IPPR senior research fellow Jim Bennett. |
 | | His report, From New Towns to Growth Areas, compared the government's plans to tackle the south-east's housing shortage by building 200,000 new homes in the region with the creation of new towns, such as Stevenage and Milton Keynes, to replace communities destroyed during the second world war. |
