In the past decade, urban regeneration policy makers and
practitioners have faced a number of difficult challenges, such as
sustainability, budgetary constraints, demands for community
involvement and rapid urbanization in the Global South. Urban
regeneration remains a high profile and important field of
government-led intervention, and policy and practice continue to
adapt to the fresh challenges and opportunities of the 21st
century, as well as confronting long standing intractable urban
problems and dilemmas. This Companion provides cutting edge
critical review and synthesis of recent conceptual, policy and
practical developments within the field. With contributions from 70
international experts within the field, it explores the meaning of
'urban regeneration' in differing national contexts, asking
questions and providing informed discussion and analyses to
illuminate how an apparently disparate field of research, policy
and practice can be rendered coherent, drawing out common themes
and significant differences. The Companion is divided into six
sections, exploring: globalization and neo-liberal perspectives on
urban regeneration; emerging reconceptualizations of regeneration;
public infrastructure and public space; housing and cosmopolitan
communities; community centred regeneration; and culture-led
regeneration. The concluding chapter considers the future of urban
regeneration and proposes a nine-point research agenda. This
Companion assembles a diversity of approaches and insights in one
comprehensive volume to provide a state of the art review of the
field. It is a valuable resource for both advanced undergraduate
and postgraduate students in Urban Planning, Built Environment,
Urban Studies and Urban Regeneration, as well as academics,
practitioners and politicians.
