Opis

As Regeneration Management becomes a top priority for governments across Europe, the role played by regeneration professionals becomes more critical and often more contradictory. Management of Regeneration examines new forms of management and current initiatives for good practice, while reflecting on the theoretical models of the past 20 years of regeneration. Focusing on the themes of partnership, sustainability, capacity building and community engagement and participation, the text also provides a clear framework within which new models of strategy and implementation can be found. With contemporary case study material drawn from the UK and Europe, the text highlights how regeneration managers occupy sometimes contradictory roles and seek to develop new skills as they respond to new policy directions. This exciting and cross-disciplinary new text will provide both current practitioners and students with an in-depth understanding of the choices, challenges and dilemmas faced by today's regeneration managers.
