3 Ways Urban Regeneration Helps Built Up Areas

Urban regeneration can help urban areas in a number of ways, not least through bringing increased economic activity to a place. As regeneration takes place it can draw greater levels of private investment into an area, as well as drawing more public sector projects too. Both can bring improved employment opportunities for local people.

Regeneration can also improve the physical environment of a depressed urban area. Better transport links help to make places more accessible, while improved infrastructure such as buildings and roads makes an area look better and more pleasant. Both these factors can draw more visitors, who can drive economic regeneration.

Finally, green-focused regeneration projects, such as new parks or wildlife sites, also help to make an area a more pleasant place to live and work, as well as preventing further decline from setting in.
