Introduction
A discussion about alternative policies for urban regeneration.
In recent decades, the dominant model for urban regeneration has been ‘gentrification’, a process whereby reinvestment in run-down city-center areas encourages the return of more prosperous inhabitants and more profitable economic activities.
However, by displacing the old inhabitants and activities, this form of urban regeneration creates winners and losers. The core issue under discussion at this event is whether cities have other models to choose from; could alternative policies bring about both economic regeneration and social cohesion?
