Property and Physical Renewal
Seminar Content
Physical renewal is usually seen as a necessary if not sufficient condition for successful regeneration. This seminar provides a clear introduction into how economic, social and policy developments have affected the changing emphasis given to physical renewal in regeneration, using case studies of where physical intervention has been both successful and unsuccessful. Participants are encouraged to consider physical stock in relation to its changing requirements in light of developments in technology and the changing nature of business and consumer demands. The key principles underpinning the rationale for intervention are discussed along with developments in policy, the mechanisms for responding to physical decline and the role of the master-plan.
