Regeneration and well‐being: research into practice

Abstract

Purpose This article aims to introduce the special issue which arose from a conference about urban regeneration in post industrial cities hosted at Bradford University in 2008. The event focused on the sustainable and intangible aspects of individual and community well‐being. Design/methodology/approach The article discusses the background to urban regeneration and introduces the papers in the issue. Findings The papers investigate and understand how policies, programmes and projects can increase well‐being in the built environment, and what this means for those involved. Specifically the papers address key features of well‐being in terms of the economics of regeneration, participation, sustainability, social enterprise, migration, partnership, management, and the importance of place and space. Originality/value The article focuses on the papers of the special issue that encourage pragmatic and workable solutions based on sound theory and practice.
