“…154 -161) or with revitalization due to cultural flagship projects (Seo, 2002; for a systematic overview see Haase et al, 2005a, p. 80). Last but not least, reurbanization shows some overlap with the UK regeneration debate (for an overview see Carmon, 1999;Roberts & Sykes, 2000) on the stabilization of neighbourhoods by residentialization and balancing socio-demographic structures, housing, leisure and jobs in the inner city (Bromley et al, 2005(Bromley et al, , pp. 2407(Bromley et al, -2408(Bromley et al, , 2409(Bromley et al, , 2426 and the understanding of smallscale urban dynamics and social cohesion (Morrison, 2003, p. 117; here apply e.g.…”

In this paper, we analyse the appropriateness of monitoring approaches for the observation of inner-city reurbanization processes. Reurbanization is conceptualized here as a process of long-term stabilization of inner-city areas by both a readiness of present residents to stay and an influx of new residents. It has been recently re-set on the top of the European urban research agenda since non-growth has proved to be a major path of future development for many European cities. Recent research evidence across Europe underscores the fact that reurbanization depends much on local settings of institutional, socio-economic and infrastructural factors. To foster a clearer understanding of the nature and dynamics of local reurbanization, to assess its extent and progress and, what is more, to help practitioners to shape sustainable policy initiatives appropriate to the respective context, reurbanization needs to be observed over the long term. The complex character of reurbanization sets new challenges for monitoring approaches and indicator-based tools. Due to the genuine relation of the present debate on reurbanization to the phenomenon of non-growth or the return of the compact city, the focus in this paper is set on demographic development trends and their impact on inner-city change. In this vein, our paper presents a monitoring design and a respective newly developed indicator set for reurbanization which focuses more on the initial recognition of reurbanization than on its long-term stability. Methodically, chances and limits of the integration of household-related indicators and qualitative knowledge on reurbanization into monitoring tools are highlighted. Empirical and statistical evidence is taken from a recently completed EU FP 5 research project and from municipal surveys.

“…Following the definition of Albrechts (2004, p. 747): "Strategic spatial planning is a public-sector-led socio-spatial process through which a vision, actions, and means for implementation are produced that shape and frame what a place is and may become". The theory and practice of urban regeneration in the UK and other West European countries is based substantially on the concept of strategic planning as an approach that integrates visions and action (see Roberts & Sykes, 2000). In the literature, there is a certain consensus that strategic urban planning is not a theory, but a normative model, which consists of three main elements: visions, projects and partnerships.…”

“…2 In British research, "urban regeneration" mostly includes comprehensive and integrative strategies. Roberts and Sykes (2000, p.17) define regeneration as: "a comprehensive and integrated vision and action which leads to the resolution of urban problems and which seeks to bring about a lasting improvement in the economic, physical, social and environmental condition of an area that has been subject to change". Couch et al (2003) define regeneration more in terms of physical aspects and public policy attempts to rehabilitate vacant and/or abandoned in order to create employment, improve the urban environment and deal with urban social issues.…”

“…Understandably, urban planners and public agencies in CEE cities have been busy developing new paradigms and practices in order to manage these tasks. To a certain degree, "Western" notions of strategic planning and urban regeneration (see Roberts & Sykes, 2000;Albrechts, 2004), with their holistic and integrative approach to development have begun to take hold in the evolving policy and governance practices of post-socialist cities. This is partly a result of the European integration process and the formal as well as informal diffusion of governance principles and practices that it has elicited.…”

This introductory article to the present collection outlines a comparative research perspective that focuses on processes of post-socialist urban transformation and strategies of urban regeneration in different cities of Central Eastern Europe. In particular, urban regeneration will be discussed within the context of post-socialist urban governance and processes of institutional change. This paper consists of three sections. The first deals with trends of sociospatial change, including "shrinkage", socio-economic polarization, industrial restructuring and simultaneous tends of gentrification and "downgrading" within inner city neighbourhoods. Discussion then follows with an overview of urban development challenges associated with these socio-spatial changes. We will also describe at length conceptual approaches of strategic planning as a form of governance that addresses processes of urban decline. Critical sources of debate that stem for the experiences of West European cities will be summarized and their relevance to East German and Central European contexts discussed. The last part of the essay provides brief overviews of the six essays featured in this special issue of European Planning Studies, indicating how they address questions of urban regeneration and the strategic management of urban development processes.

“…The literature on urban regeneration documents that physical interventions are not enough to regenerate cities or their neighbourhoods (Stouten, 2010;Tallon, 2010; Selicato and Rotondo, 2010;Couch et al, 2008; Verhage, 2005;Hull, 2001;Roberts and Sykes, 2000). One possible explanation is that conventional approaches to urban regeneration of degraded neighbourhoods have often attempted to tackle physical deterioration, carrying out traditional planning models for development, as has been the case in the city of Taranto, trying to favour new growth, building new residential areas and structures for public utilities and services.…”

The LEED Programme identifies, analyses and disseminates innovative ideas for local development, governance and the social economy. Governments from OECD member and non-member economies look to LEED and work through it to generate innovative guidance on policies to support employment creation and economic development through locally based initiatives. ABOUT THE OECDThe OECD is a unique forum where governments work together to address the economic, social and environmental challenges of globalisation. The OECD is also at the forefront of efforts to understand and to help governments respond to new developments and concerns, such as corporate governance, the information economy and the challenges of an ageing population. The Organisation provides a setting where governments can compare policy experiences, seek answers to common problems, identify good practice and work to co-ordinate domestic and international policies.The OECD member countries are: Australia, Austria, Belgium, Canada, Chile, the Czech Republic, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Iceland, Ireland, Israel, Italy, Japan, Korea, Luxembourg, Mexico, the Netherlands, New Zealand, Norway, Poland, Portugal, the Slovak Republic, Slovenia, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, Turkey, the United Kingdom and the United States.

About LEEDThe OECD Programme on Local Economic and Employment Development (LEED) has been advising government and communities since 1982 on how to respond to economic change and tackle complex problems in a fast-changing world. It draws on a comparative analysis of experience from some 50 countries in the Americas, Asia, Australasia and Europe in fostering economic growth, employment and inclusion.
