Abstract
Argues for a new approach to physical regeneration in cities based on five key principles: (1) built environments need to adapt to changing economic circumstances and levels of population; (2) strategies should focus on delivering the best outcomes for people; (3) decision makers should respond to the needs of different neighbourhoods; (4) community engagement and leadership is crucial when managing the impact of decline on built environments; and (5) places need to keep reviewing their economic circumstances as no city-region or neighbourhood is on a fixed path towards either growth or decline.
