ABSTRACT

The urban regeneration agenda linked to sustainable development includes areas such as housing, communities, governance, climate change, energy consumption, economics, construction, design, health, land-use planning, natural resources and environmental limits, waste, transport, education and young people. Sustainable development principles are apparent at the neighbourhood, local, regional, national, European and international policy levels, and especially focus on cities (see Giradet 1996; 1999; 2003; 2004).
