Urban Pamphleteer #2 Launch: Regeneration Realities

Join us for the launch of Urban Pamphleteer #2: Regeneration Realities.

Urban Pamphleteer is a series of publications that confront key contemporary urban questions from diverse perspectives. Written in a direct and accessible tone, these pamphlets draw on the history of radical pamphleteering as a tool for instigating change.

Urban Pamphleteer #2 addresses questions such as "Is it possible to reclaim and rethink regeneration as a concept and set of practices?". "How can we develop ethical, evidence-based and rigorous methods of regeneration that better serve the communities in whose name it is carried out?", "If economic growth, and the supposed 'trickle-down' effects of increased land values have come to dominate regeneration rhetoric and practice, how can they be rebalanced towards the needs and values of existing communities?"

Contributors include: Duncan Bowie, Howard Read, Loretta Lees, David Roberts, Andrea Luka Zimmerman, Stephanie Butcher, Alexandre Apsan Frediani, Paul Watt, Alberto Duman, Phil Cohen, Isik Knutsdotter, Ben Campkin and Michael Edwards. 

Urban Pamphleteer is supported by the UCL Grand Challenge of Sustainable Cities and the UCL Urban Laboratory.
