“…This acted as a catalyst towards the broader objectives of brownfield regeneration of the HVP area for an economically sustainable and socially vibrant future (Le Feuvre, 2011). HVP is therefore similar to many other urban redevelopment and regeneration initiatives found in the former industrial sites of UK cities, some of which have been examined in this journal(Couch & Dennemann, 2000;Short & Tetlow, 2012).The partnership's areal remit lies within the Greater Manchester conurbation (population 2.7 million in 2014), and is situated in the Reddish district between the City of Manchester itself and Stockport Metropolitan Borough (one of the 10 local authorities that make up the Greater Manchester city-region), approximately seven miles to the south east of Manchester city centre. Figure 1 indicates the locational context and spatial extent of the study area.…”

This paper aims to better understand urban partnerships through the nature of the interactions between their stakeholders. Following a review of approaches to stakeholder arrangements in urban partnerships, which draws on a variety of literatures, including strategic management, public administration, urban studies and geography, the paper presents results of an action-case study undertaken in an urban partnership context-namely, Houldsworth Village Partnership (HVP)within the Greater Manchester region of the UK. The findings begin by classifying HVP stakeholders along broad sectoral lines, before moving to examine, through a thematic analysis of data, the influences on their interactions in terms of 'process enablers' and 'inhibitors'. This leads to a schema, whereby HVP stakeholder interactions are conceptualized on the dual continua of attitude and behaviour. The schema provides a theoretical contribution by offering an understanding of stakeholders' dynamic interplay within an urban partnership context, and a means of classifying such stakeholders beyond their individual/ organizational characteristics or sectoral affiliations.

“…Despite efforts at regeneration, the city's economic and social development indices continue to lag many other post-industrial cities (Short & Tetlow, 2012) in the UK. However, the people of Sunderland have developed a strong sense of identity and through symbols such as their soccer team they construct meaning and "express their attachment and sense of belonging to the community" (Burbano-Elizondo, 2006, p. 114).…”

“…As a consequence, Sunderland witnessed higher than national average figures of unemployment and experienced a period of significant economic decline. Regeneration activities have sought to address the legacy of the loss of traditional heavy industry on the economic, social and cultural fabric of the city (Short & Fundingsland Tetlow 2011). As part of this agenda, it is possible to trace from about 1996 the beginning of ICT-related activities as a major strand.…”

Social class, occupation and digital inclusion in the city of Sunderland, England Drawing upon the concept of capital and its uneven distribution, as outlined by Bourdieu, the article highlights the importance of social class, occupational status and place in understanding how individuals and communities make use of and benefit from technology in their everyday lives. Based upon quantitative and qualitative research conducted in the city of Sunderland, England, the article addresses the extent and manner to which those in 'socially excluded' areas of the city engage with technology, specifically personal computers and the internet and the impact of such engagement upon quality of life and social inclusion. The research indicates that the manner in which technology is experienced by marginalized social groups in this place, does not fit neatly with a dominant discourse of digital inclusion which emphasizes technology as a means for social inclusion, particularly in the realms of civic participation, educational achievement and employment.
