Urban Regional Regeneration
Year: 2019
Type: reference-entry
Abstract: This entry traces the shifting balance in the political and definitional significance of regeneration. The role of a more proactive regeneration is examined as a significant area of activity that has emerged and dominated the regeneration landscape for the last two or three decades. While the entry begins by considering what regeneration means, how it evolved, and how it is interpreted, case study material is presented to assess the impact of the physical transformation of places through urban renewal, to the wider needs of urban and regional areas. This provides an important framework for discussing the contemporary critical issues and dilemmas now facing practitioners, and how this shapes the postrecession landscape.
