“…over other forms of intervention in which, in all this urban capital, only the value of the land is prioritized and preserved by traumatic demolition and by the replacement of the rest of the entire urban display. Disadvantaged urban areas should not be seen as a problem, but as a source of physical capital and human talent, the potential of which must be unlocked, so that it can contribute to the overall civic progress and economic growth of the city (Leary, McCarthy, 2013).…”

Before 1990, Romania went through a forced industrialized policy, but after this time, most of the industrial bussiness went bankrupt, and their sites and buildings were abandoned. Nowadays, most of the cities in Romania encounter the problem of abandoned industrial sites. This has become an interesting problem for the local authorities to overcomein the future. The aim of this paper is to study the process of deindustrialization of the country and suggest methods of regenerating the areas.

“…Regeneration strategies have evolved over recent decades, reflecting shifting political ideologies and expectations, with contemporary approaches increasingly anchored within the sustainable development agenda. In seeking to propose a definition which inspires and motivates those involved in regeneration, Leary and McCarthy (, p. 9) propose that:Urban regeneration is area based intervention which is public sector initiated, funded, supported or inspired, aimed at producing significant sustainable improvements in the conditions of local people, communities and places suffering from aspects of deprivation, often multiple in nature.…”
There are new, and increasing, pressures facing coastal communities, including socio‐economic and environmental change, exploitation of resources, urban development and the predicted impacts of climate change. The cumulative and interacting effect of these challenges may result in socio‐economic and physical decline. This paper responds to calls for more detailed investigation into coastal regeneration by providing empirical evidence (interviews, observations, policy analysis) on specific coastal resorts on the island of Ireland. In doing so it builds on an emerging area of research that suggests coastal regeneration may be theoretically and practically informed by “resilience thinking”. The case study findings highlight differing, and sometimes competing values, perceptions and priorities at the local level and highlight the challenges facing striving resorts seeking to find their contemporary identity and enhance their resilience to future change.
“…In this paper, we build on this work to analyse how assemblage theory can inform an expansive reconceptualisation of regeneration to reposition it as a performed, emergent and diversely constituted practice, enacted in the socio‐material ‘frictions’ and negotiations of the everyday. By urban regeneration, we refer to area‐based interventions—often publicly funded or supported—aimed at producing ongoing improvements in the social, economic and physical conditions of places and communities experiencing aspects of decline (adapted from Leary and McCarty, , 9) . Following Lagendijk et al .…”

“…Gentrification has come to map closely onto urban regeneration, particularly in its state‐led, new‐build varieties (Cochrane ). Other state‐led modalities, many associated with gentrification effects, include waterfront and brownfield redevelopment, mixed‐used precincts, investments in public space and infrastructures, cultural investments and community‐led regeneration (see Leary and McCarty ).…”
In critical urban studies, managed urban regeneration has been linked to trajectories of neo-liberalising urban policy and urban entrepreneurialism. While the insights arising from this work have been many and valuable, significant gaps remain particularly in terms of the foci of analysis and the conception of politics. In this paper, we aim to address these gaps and to reposition the conceptualization of regeneration as a performed and emergent consequence of 'relatedness' and as subject to a range of relational effects and determinations. To do so we work through four capacities of assemblage thinking that are particularly productive for this task: (i) revealing the relational, multiple and processual nature of urban trajectories; (ii) revealing the multi-scalar labouring involved in configuring the (socio-material) assemblages that constitute regeneration; (iii) identifying openings for multiple possible trajectories of regeneration; (iv) providing critical insights into how regeneration trajectories are constrained. We conclude with ref lections on what assemblage thinking offers in terms of critically and generatively rethinking urban regeneration.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
