The DME this year is on changing town and city centres.

“Paper 1 will consider the economic and environmental impacts
of land use changes in MEDC town centres and why some town
centres go through periods of economic decline. It will then
consider the issues associated with town centre regeneration by
looking at a proposed town centre regeneration scheme in the
UK and assessing its potential impacts on both people and the
environment.”
