Regeneration in European cities: Making connections is a study of successful urban regeneration schemes in mainland Europe to draw lessons for the UK from the Joseph Rowntree Foundation.
It compares regeneration at Norra Alvstranden in Gothenburg; Kop van Zuid in Rotterdam; and Roubaix in Metropolitan Lille making comparisons with similar places in the UK (Gateshead, North Southwark, and Bradford).
An extensive literature review identifies where the UK might learn from Europe. Each case study:
- sets the context;
- assesses actions and achievements;
- looks at benefits for vulnerable groups;
- sets out the main elements of the scheme;
- includes reactions from UK partners; and
- outlines implications for UK policy.
