Abstract: Perspectives emerging from a new generation of British-born Asian experts are bringing challenging and innovative approaches to some of the UK’s problems. This paper links the experience of living and working in marginalised black and minority ethnic communities to the crisis facing the dereliction of Britain’s high streets. It puts forward the daring proposal that high streets could be the focus for inward investment from emerging economies such as those of India and China, hosted initially by partners in the many diasporic communities here which still have strong links with their countries of origin. This raises interesting issues and challenges for current ideas and practice in urban regeneration.
