Lecture 1: Introduction
Urbanisation at unprecedented rate. By 2030, 60% of the global pop. will be living in urban cities (UN-Habitat, 2012) - Planetary Urbanisation
Rate of urbanisation and post-industrialisation has led to many challenges for the state to deal with including poverty. Thus government policy shifted towards an urban focus.
Defined as a "cluster of initiatives aimed at dealing with the problems of cities...or to take advantage of the innovation associated with cities - Cochrane, 2007: 1
Urban Regeneration a contested term in contemporary urban policy - defined by Roberts, 2000: 17
"a comprehensive and integrated vision and action which leads to the resolution of urban problems and which seeks to bring about a lasting improvement in the economic, physical, social and environmental conditions of an area that has been subject to change"
Contemporary Urban Regeneration:
Intended to change the nature of the place by embracing multiple objectives dependent on area's problems and potentials, involving actors with a stake in its future - Turok, 2005
Overcoming regeneration and urban challenges are especially difficult in the UK, with governments often changing every election, agendas and budgets change - Cochrane, 2007
