Why not?
AusterityUncertainty
Climate change
Seven regeneration principles for today
1 Sustain success
2 Let go – or get out of the way
3 Recognise communities’ potential
4 Keep tackling inequality
5 Focus on education and skills
6 Promote quality of life and
quality of place
7 Reform the banking system
…but we will have to find
different ways of getting
there
A dozen hints of hope
1 Find a shared language
2 Measure real value, not just GVA
3 Recognise that climate change
changes everything
4 Neighbourhoods are the building blocks
5 Get to grips with the housing market
6 Work is only part of the solution to
poverty
7 Connectedness is at the heart of community
8 Responsiveness must be at the heart of
government
9 Distinctiveness is the future for place
10 The value of the built environment lies in its use
11 Doing good must be at the heart of
doing well
12 The soul of the city is what drives
regeneration
