This chapter reflects on the successes achieved and challenges that remain in the study of ecological communities. It concludes with a discussion of research topics expected to occupy the attention of community ecologists for the next decade or so and that may yield big dividends in terms of understanding the processes that structure communities and govern their functioning. These include metacommunities and the integration of local and regional processes; the drivers of regional biodiversity; community assembly and functional traits; pathogens, parasites and natural enemies; biodiversity and ecosystem functioning; changing technology will change how we collect data; eco-evolutionary feedbacks and regional pool processes; climate change, and its effects on species distributions and species interactions; and the role of time.

The London Development Agency (LDA) was established in July 2000 as part of the new Greater London Authority (GLA). It has a remit to work in partnership with local authorities, businesses, voluntary groups, regeneration partnerships and training institution s. This paper is a broad overview of selected issues related to regeneration management in London . The opening section provides a brief policy con text leading to the formation of the LDA an d its strategic agenda. Secondly, we argue for a local role in regeneration management. Third, we examine the creation of the LDA, its approach and offer a tentative assessment of the democratic principles leading to its formation and the content of its strategy. Fourth, we sketch local regeneration dynamics from three localities, before concluding with possible outcomes as the new institution al structure takes effect an d also offer some suggestions on the linking up an d democratization of local and regional processes.
