The Scottish Government's principal objective for regeneration policy is to promote the successful and sustainable transformation of communities across Scotland by creating the right environment for private and public investment.
This will be done through targeted action in the most disadvantaged communities and by devolving power to a local level.
Regeneration involves the lasting transformation of places to benefit the people who live and work there.
In doing so, it contributes to all five of the strategic objectives of this Government.
"This Government is committed to regenerating our most deprived communities and to making sure that economic change and community regeneration go hand in hand."
Stewart Maxwell, Minister for Communities and Sport
In particular, realising economic opportunity to support growth and tackle concentrated poverty will help to create a wealthier and fairer Scotland.
