Reimagining Culture-led Urban Regeneration
Dr. Andrew Harris from the University College London
Culture and creativity have been central to theorizing and planning contemporary urban development in the twenty-first century. A significant component to this is the role of culture-led urban regeneration. This presentation will chart how practices and activities associated with creativity have become bound up in urban regeneration policies over the last three decades as well as flagging important limitations that have been identified in this increasing role for culture in shaping urban change. Examples will be drawn particularly from London and the UK, which has played a crucial role in an international spread of the creative city.
Evaluating how culture-led urban regeneration has been approached, understood and implemented, the presentation on June emphasised the need for greater interdisciplinary exchange and comparative learning in efforts at developing a more imaginative and progressive agenda for the role of culture in contemporary urban policy-making.
