Community regeneration: is it working in Britain? - 2000 - Faculty of Building Journal 9(5) October 2000, 20-22(3) .

Looks in detail at community regeneration, and outlines the elements necessary for its success. Suggests that good community regeneration projects need both physical and social regeneration; building is only one element and a key objective is to create close neighbourhood networks. Areas of discussion include: government policy; a socio-economic strategy; perceptions of a 'good neighbourhood'; housing provision. Concludes with a discussion of the Jarrow and Walker case studies, which demonstrate successful community regeneration, in contrast with the failure of Newcastle West End. References.
