This presentation brings together key points from the Real Regeneration series in New Start magazine and headlines from the regeneration manifesto we developed with practitioners and policy experts. An earlier version of this presentation was given at the fifth anniversary celebrations of Powell Dobson Urbanists in Cardiff. I've blogged about it here: http://livingwithrats.blogspot.com/2010/05/its-all-about-social-justice.html

Hinweis der Redaktion
- Slide 1. The idea that we can infinitely add more to what we currently have underpins most ‘regeneration’ strategies. Produce more cars every year; build more roads for them to travel on; build and rent out more office space; build more city centre apartments; create more shopping centres. Economic and placemaking strategies frequently fail to recognise limits to environmental resources, consumer demand, and communities’ capacity to withstand disruption. It’s an approach that values excess above sufficiency, sees waste as an economic good and reduces human wellbeing and life satisfaction to a byproduct of economic activity.
- Slide 6: That means rethinking our approach to funding programmes, targets and accountability and creating new, hybrid organisations that bring together those who have a common interest in improving places and communities. Nobody has a monopoly of ideas and nobody should have a monopoly of implementation.
- We need a new sense of home: places and communities that we value, feel safe in and where we share a sense of ownership with those around us. Most of the programmes and solutions of the last few decades have failed to achieve this, or have begun promisingly but fizzled out. It’s time to trust people to do this themselves.
