The contributors to this international and comparative volume assess the role of urban leadership in guiding and promoting the economic regeneration of twelve older industrial cities: Baltimore, Buffalo, Glasgow, Hamburg, Houston, Liverpool, Marseille, Montreal, Pittsburgh, Rennes, Sheffield and Vancouver. Each chapter describes the ways in which urban elites have responded to declining local economies and to changes in national policy. The contributors, who have lived and worked in the countries described, offer unique insight into the role of leadership and the impact of economic change on cities. The introductory essay by the editors provides a framework for students and policy-makers by identifying the common features among the industri

This book was born out of the need to ‘capture’ the experience and understanding of the regeneration management process that is neither UK centric nor centred exclusively on urban areas. Written by experts working in the USA, Holland, Greece, Jamaica, Turkey, Spain, Trinidad and the Czech Republic, this book seeks to locate the issue of regeneration in a context which will enable the reader to reflect upon practices which are ‘local’ but are shaped by international processes. As well as proving an accessible review of the theoretical literature on globalisation and its impact upon managing regeneration initiatives, this book also illustrates these theoretical debates with specific examples which provide insight to both urban and rural developments. This book will be of great interest to students, researchers and practitioners engaged in regeneration management, providing a thematic exploration and examination of the ‘global’ regeneration experience.

The book reflects on how intelligent urban regeneration can be an extraordinary driver of sustainable social and economic progress. It provides a friendly, evergreen and flexible thinking methodology that can serve as a reference guide to address a wide range of initiatives creating the conditions to thrive in an increasingly selective, rapidly changing and unpredictable market context. The book throws light on the importance of adopting an open approach based on collaboration, crafting strong visions, developing appealing value propositions, embracing a modern leadership style and setting-up highly effective multi-disciplinary team for the execution. It illustrates how standard approaches should be re-designed, business models innovated and processes re-engineered to guarantee better alignment between supply and demand of real estate as markets shift and new differentiators emerge among competitors. The book makes clear that creating a vibrant urban ecosystem requires a gradual shift of focus from built-environment investment to socio-economic output. It targets a wide audience of private and public sector professionals active in urban regeneration and real estate development.

Community participation is acknowledged to be crucial to the success of regeneration partnerships, yet, there has been little research to date on the 'community leaders' directly involved in partnerships. Leadership styles, inter-sectoral relationships and the interaction between individuals involved in regeneration work are vital in shaping successful partnerships.Community leadership in area regeneration addresses the issues surrounding community leadership, describing, analysing and making recommendations about the ways in which significant people from local communities become involved in partnerships, how they exercise their 'leadership role' and how that role can be enhanced.The report highlights the importance of recognising diversity within communities and explores community leaders' own experiences of area regeneration programmes, looking at participation, capacity building, monitoring and evaluation. The report also argues that if government is to achieve its aim of tackling the problems of socially excluded neighbourhoods, a more bottom-up approach to regeneration partnerships is needed. Good practice recommendations are made, which highlight how best to:strengthen community leadership;support and empower community leaders in partnerships;enhance policy dialogue about community involvement.Community leadership in area regeneration is essential reading for policy makers and those communities involved in regeneration. It is relevant for national and local government, as well as anyone with an interest in area regeneration strategies and practice.

Despite the radical transformation of society associated with globalisation, shifting patterns of demography and the revolution in information and communication technologies over the last two decades, we remain profoundly attached to place in economic, social, cultural and emotional terms. The idea of sustainable place shaping has made its way to the heart of the debate on the form and delivery of integrated (economic development, planning, housing, regeneration, education, transport and health) policy for our neighbourhoods, towns, cities and regions. The delivery of policy for place shaping has become a far more complex cross-boundary and relational leadership task - and there is now a requirement for a refreshed approach to leadership development for collaborative learning and ‘associational’ working. Going forward, what is needed is a more insightful and comprehensive conceptual framework related to the leadership of place that takes account of the paradigm shift occurring in economic development, planning and regeneration studies. Against this background, this timely book takes stock of the leadership literature and connects with the experience and views of those working in economic development, planning and regeneration. In this book we seek to enhance the discussion of these new leadership challenges. This collection first appeared as a special issue of Policy Studies and is now published by kind permission in the Regional Studies Association book series, Regions and Cities.

Being an effective city planner means being an effective leader. You need to be prepared to convince people that good planning matters. Often a well-written, thoughtful and inclusive plan doesn’t result in meaningful action, because planners don’t show leadership skills. At some point, some city planners become cynical and worn down, wondering why no one listens to them but not doing the self-reflection about how that could change. Leadership in Planning explains how to get support for planning initiatives so they don’t just fade from memory. It will guide city planners to think less about organizational charts and more about: · being a respected voice within your organization, both with staff and with your boss; · being a good communicator with people outside your organization; and · being able to understand how and when to push for good planning ideas to turn them into actions. Along the way, case studies bring these concepts to the real world of municipal planning. In addition, past planning figures’ actions are explored to see what they did right and what mistakes they made.
