Regeneration case studies help us to understand the different approaches to regeneration and see what impacts they have on the population and environment. Different approaches are taken for different areas, whether the aim is a regeneration project or the economic support for the project. These case studies inform about the nature of different regeneration projects, measures of success in a regeneration project and the different assessments according to different stakeholders. The main aim is that we reduce the Negative Impacts of Regeneration.

A Level regeneration case studies

Regeneration is the process of upgrading existing urban, rural, industrial and commercial areas to bring about social and economic change on a long-term scale.

As part of the A Level course, it is important not only to understand what regeneration is and the impacts that it has, but also to put this into context. Case studies are a good way of putting the concepts into the real world and seeing exactly how they work and what influences them.

Urban regeneration case studies

Urban regeneration case studies, as the name suggests, are examples of regeneration projects occurring in urban areas. Some urban areas are targeted for regeneration because of challenges, such as deindustrialisation, dereliction, economic decline and mass deprivation. Such issues are common in contemporary urban environments.

Some examples of urban regeneration case studies include Stratford and Salford Quays.

Another urban area that will potentially undergo regeneration in the near future is Croyde and the remainder of North Devon.

While the two urban areas differ in terms of location and history, they do have things in common. Amongst these is the fact that both areas went from economic prosperity into drastic economic decline and suffered from lowering environmental quality, high unemployment rates, dereliction and social problems. This prompted the introduction of regeneration projects in both places. These projects took different forms, had different stakeholders and operated over different durations. However, both projects resulted in successful regeneration. Now, both areas have significantly improved infrastructure, environmental quality, housing provisions, services and economic opportunities.

Town centre regeneration case studies

A town centre, like an urban area more generally, is a common place targeted by regeneration projects. This is because there is a pattern of town centres undergoing periods of economic decline, resulting in the urban challenges mentioned above. This happens for many reasons. The most prominent of these are arguably the processes of suburbanisation and counter-urbanisation.

Suburbanisation is the process of a large proportion of people relocating from town centres into the outskirts (suburbs).

Counter-urbanisation is the process of a large proportion of people relocating from urban areas to rural areas and is seen as the opposite of urbanisation.

Suburbanisation and counter-urbanisation happen for many reasons, including a mixture of push (factors persuading people to move out of a place) and pull (factors attracting people to another place) factors. One of the major causes of push factors in town centres has been deindustrialisation.

regeneration case studies, suburbanisation, StudySmarter

Following the success of the Industrial Revolution, the UK has since undergone mass deindustrialisation . This removal of industrial (secondary economic) activity had many negative impacts, including a spike in unemployment rates, dereliction and out-migration from town/ urban centres. In Liverpool, the collapse of the Albert Docks in the 1960s caused warehouses to become abandoned, people to lose their jobs, environmental quality to decrease and people to move out of the area. A regeneration project run by the Merseyside Development Corporation from the 1980s onwards has allowed the area to transform into a hub for investment, tourism and commercial activity. The area has also seen an influx of migrants looking for new opportunities.

Sustainable urban regeneration case studies

Sustainable urban regeneration aims to meet the demands of the current population without compromising on the needs of the future population(s). The focus on sustainability across regeneration projects has increased as awareness of environmental issues, such as climate change, has increased. As well as simply an increased awareness, there is now much more pressure from stakeholders and the public to act in a way that is not detrimental to future people and the environment. So what are some of the key characteristics of sustainable urban regeneration case studies?

Typically, they aim to:

regeneration case studies, liveability, StudySmarter

For example, Edinburgh's regeneration scheme will include carbon-neutral housing and public transport links, extensions of the public transport network to connect more people to the city, the introduction of mixed-use neighbourhoods and a 'green network' that connects all the urban green spaces via low-emission routes.

Rural regeneration case studies

Traditionally, rural areas were seen as places to retire, for short leisure activities, or for those in the agricultural industry. However, rural areas have seen a recent increase in population due to counter-urbanisation. This is down to a few factors:

With more and more people moving to rural areas, some regeneration may be needed. Improving transport links while maintaining the natural beauty of places will be important. Perhaps most important, is to include the locals in these regeneration projects.

Check out our explanation of Urban and Rural spaces to learn more!

Measuring the success of regeneration case studies

It is clear that regeneration projects differ considerably depending on the circumstances and the resources available. Therefore, it can be difficult to compare and contrast projects directly.

To measure the success of regeneration case studies, it is important to consider whether or not they have improved the area in the long-term, whether or not these improvements apply and are accessible to everyone and whether the future generation(s) and environment will be negatively implicated as a consequence of the regeneration. Through examining these three metrics, it is impossible to consider whether a regeneration case study has been a success or a failure.

Regeneration Case Studies - Key takeaways

Frequently Asked Questions about Regeneration Case Studies

--> what are the key elements of urban regeneration.

Key elements of urban regeneration are economic transition, employment change, social and community building and sustainable development.

--> How can regeneration solve urban problems?

Regeneration can solve help the urban problems such as taking derelict, polluted, brown-field places to be restored and used for new purposes.

--> Why was East London regenerated?

East London underwent deindustrialisation between the 1960-70s as it couldn't compete against newer container ports. As a result in the 1980s there was a regeneration project to help the docklands area.

--> What areas in London have been regenerated?

There are many areas that have been regenerated, the Tower Hamlets have had the most projects, whilst other areas such as Islington, Lambeth, Hackney and Southwark have also had many regeneration projects.

Where is Stratford located?

In East London, about 7 miles from Central London

What was Stratford like after the decline?

It had one of the most deprived communities in the country, unemployment was high, and health levels were poor. Stratford lacked proper infrastructure, and the environmental quality was poor.

During the Victorian Era, the Metropolitan Building Act, the new railway, and the creation of the Royal Docks accelerated industrialisation. With it, Stratford saw a lot of work opportunities.

Deindustrialisation and the closure of the Royal Docks

The creation of containerised cargo and other technological changes. The containerised cargo was much more efficient for transporting goods, but it required larger ships. These ships could not navigate down as far as the Royal Docks.

Case Studies

In order to get a decent mark in Geography you need to use case studies and examples in your answers. If you don’t include them, you can’t get high marks. Even if a question doesn’t ask for an example, throw one in your answer, just to be safe. For many landforms, you don’t need to name a specific example, just an area where you can find these landforms. For example, naming a specific pothole would be a bit silly, but naming an area where you can find them is quite sensible.
