After decades of neglect, it's not unusual to see buildings which have been boarded (1) in Britain's inner cities. After businesses have closed (2) for the day, many city
centres are depressing, no-go areas.The problems of decay have been piling (3) for
years and will not be solved easily. However, some councils are finally deciding to fix inner city areas
(4) to attract residents and investors back. The process begins by knocking
(5) old, ugly buildings and putting (6) attractive office and apartment
blocks.Advertising hoardings are taken (7) and facilities to attract families, such as play
areas, are put (8) .Urban regeneration can be a long, expensive process, but for many
towns and cities it has paid off.
