Abstract
  • This study focuses on two main areas within the UK in its examination of waterfront regeneration. The waterfront regeneration project at Newcastle upon Tyne was used as a case study reference for the regeneration projects currently proposed along the Clyde River in Glasgow. The waterfront regeneration projects were examined within the policy approaches under which they were developed and the relative effectiveness of these policies. Three key issues are examined in relation to the two study areas. The first issue explores the effectiveness of the Newcastle project in the context of the property-led approach to regeneration and the lessons which may be applied to the Clyde. The relevant policy issues are explored with the aim of discussing which are most relevant to current regeneration procedures and would produce optimal results. The second issue concerns the level of community involvement and benefit from this type of physical regeneration. This also indicates the sectors which benefit the most from waterfront regeneration and highlights some of the issues facing the development of a Clyde regeneration plan in Glasgow. Finally, the issue of the single-agency approach to urban waterfront regeneration is explored through the Newcastle experience in terms of its value and effectiveness in achieving an holistic form of regeneration in the 1990s and onwards.
