Power to the people: Putting community into urban regeneration

Abstract

This is a perspective on two approaches to regeneration in the same city, Gloucester in the west of England, between 2004 and 2014. A more community-based approach came from the Community Strategy team of Gloucester City Council, while a more site-based approach came from the Gloucester Heritage Urban Regeneration Company (of which the City Council was a lead partner). Sometimes the two approaches worked well together, and sometimes not so well. As both of these teams have now been dissolved, it is perhaps time to identify the lessons learned from the process. This case study illustrates two particular points: the value of genuine community-led action rather than work done on the community’s behalf, and the need for long-term attention to how community needs and aspirations can link effectively with major regeneration schemes. The text reviews a number of available techniques to these ends.
