ABSTRACT
In preparing this edited volume, we hoped that we could refl ect the scale and diversity of regeneration initiatives present within advanced industrial economies. At the same time, we are acutely aware of the gaps in the material presented. Despite the gaps, we would claim that we have refl ected the critical policy and practice questions that are explicit in some regeneration projects and certainly implicit in all. In the preceding chapters we havewith the assistance of colleagues-sought to explore those questions and to identify particular challenges and questions that are part of the language and discourse of regeneration management but in the current crisis of neoliberalism, need to be framed differently.
