The Government has announced new plans to 'breathe fresh life into disadvantaged communities' across England as part of its long-awaited Levelling Up White Paper, which is due to be published next week.
Wolverhampton and Sheffield will be the first of 20 areas selected to benefit from a 'radical new regeneration programme' launched by the Department for Levelling Up, Housing and Communities (DLUHC).
The chosen locations will be prioritised for a £1.5 billion Brownfield Fund made available from April 2022.
The department confirmed the cash to fund the work was allocated by the Treasury last year.
It is part of a £1.8 billion sum for brownfield regeneration promised by the Chancellor, Rishi Sunak, at the last Budget.
The work will be spearheaded by the Government's housing agency Homes England, which will be 'refocused' to deliver on the levelling up agenda, Michael Gove said.
"It will use its extensive powers and expertise to help local leaders deliver the regeneration of large areas of towns and cities, as they adapt to economic trends like the rise of online shopping," said the Government announcement.
"The UK government will also welcome working in continued partnership with the devolved administrations to explore how to best support places across the UK
