520 _aExamines the concept of environmental sustainability in regeneration projects. Argues that environmental issues such as energy efficiency and repair rather than redevelopment are often overlooked as regeneration projects focus on social and economic concerns. Highlights the Bedzed housing scheme in Sutton and the Home Zone initiatives as environmental success stories, but suggests that government has missed opportunities for environmental sustainability in planning reform and urban renaissance proposals. Concludes by describing three projects which show how building environmental sustainability into a scheme can have important knock-on benefits for regeneration; the Fairfield Housing Co-operative in Perth, the Fourth Grace on the Liverpool Waterfront and the Arts Factory in the Rhondda Valley.
