Urban Regeneration

In this new edition of the standard text on the theory and practice of urban regeneration, there are case studies and examples of best practice throughout, and a whole section devoted to international and comparative regeneration.

Urban Regeneration is widely discussed but less widely understood. Fully revised with important new policy, case studies and international analysis, the Second Edition of Urban Regeneration will correct that. The 16 chapters, written by leading experts, are organised into four sections:

• The Context for Urban Regeneration: The history and evolution
• Major Themes and Topics: Including Housing, Community, Employment and the Environment
• Key Issues in Managing Urban Regeneration: Including Legal and Organisational considerations

• Experience Elsewhere and a View of the Future: Expanded section now discussing Australia and the Celtic Fringe as well as Europe and the USA
  This is the essential handbook for practitioners involved in regeneration, as well as students of planning, urban studies, geography and architecture.

Klappentext

Urban regeneration is widely discussed but less widely understood. This new and completely up-to-date edition of the standard text on the theories and practices of urban regeneration will correct that. Using examples of best practice and explanations of what urban regeneration is, it makes the evidence, the explanation, and the implementation of regeneration fully transparent. Rich in case study material, integrating theory and practice, the text explains changes occurring in regeneration practice: from the scale of investment to the rationale for policy intervention, and qualitative changes in the nature of regeneration intervention. With all of the chapters fully revised, written by experts, the text is organised in four complementary sections:

• The Context for Urban Regeneration: explains the history and evolution of Urban Regeneration
• Major Themes and Topics: examines funding, the environment and sustainable development, social and community issues, employment, education and training, and housing
• Key Issues in Managing Urban Regeneration: focuses on land development, legal issues, monitoring and evaluation

• Experiences Elsewhere - A View of the Future: provides comparative case study material from North America, Europe, and Asia.
  A systematic and applied review of the issues, that outlines a framework for regeneration in the future, this is the essential handbook for students and practitioners alike.
