Urban renewal is an important point on the agenda of most European regions and cities. Because manufacturing and older industries decline, new ways of attracting capital have to be found. The renewal and adjustment of social, physical and environmental infrastructure is seen as a succesful way to revitalise regions, cities, districts and neighbourhoods. The 'How European cities achieve renaissance' publication of the UK National Audit Office, looks at seven European cities or regions and how they were able to deliver succesful regeneration projects. It provides interesting material for all people involved in urban regeneration projects.
