==Structure== English Partnerships was legally two entirely independent bodies set up under separate statutes. One was the '''Commission for New Towns''', launched in October 1961, which was responsible for the [[development corporation]]s established by the New Towns Act 1959. The other was the '''Urban Regeneration Agency''' set up by the Leasehold Reform, Housing and Urban Development Act 1993. The URA originated as the English Industrial Estates Corporation, which was "established in 1936 as North Eastern Trading Estates Ltd to help to alleviate the problems caused by the decline of heavy industries such as shipbuilding and coalmining"<ref>Ibid Tyne and Wear Archives</ref>
