One of the most interesting things about Wilson's theories is the speed and comprehensiveness with which concepts of neighbourhood disadvantage have taken root in UK regeneration policy. Documents from the the Neighbourhood Renewal Unit replicate elements of work authentically, as do policy documents including Homes for All (1995) from the Office of the Deputy Prime Minister (now Department for Communities and Local Government). Research on the reasons for this is limited to discussions of New Labour's communitarian origins and consideration of the implications of institutional power dynamics is noticeably absent.
