Regeneration X - Urban Renewal

Regeneration X - Urban Renewal


http://www.euinfrastructure.com/article/Regeneration-X/

Quote:
As the credit crunch rumbles on, the concept of urban renewal takes on a new prevalence. Here, EU Infrastructure’s Matt Buttell looks at how regenerations are affecting Europe and rounds-up some of the most prolific projects from the last few decades.

- “Over the past 30 years the construction of urban regeneration projects has reflected wider government policy”

- The European Capital of Culture, being the city designated by the EU for the period of one calendar year, is given this chance to showcase its cultural life and cultural development. Traditionally a number of European cities have used their City of Culture year to transform their cultural base and, in doing so, the way in which they are viewed internationally.

- But it’s not just the City of Culture designation that stipulates the need for urban renewal. In the shadow of the credit crunch, many cities across Europe are looking to push their development, create new environments for workers and stimulate their economies. And from shopping malls to residential areas, to commercial complexes to leisure facilities, these sorts of developments are now heavily punctuating the European landscape.
