Book Review: A child's eye view of the streets

2 July 2004

Safer School Journeys is the 'other' book in public realm pressure group Living Streets' Walk to School series. Where Walk to School: A Campaign Guide (Regeneration & Renewal, 18 June, p60) shows how to set up a walk-to-school scheme in an area, this second glossy shows adults how to do a safety audit of existing routes.

Diary: Scottish humble pie, giant dice for high jinks, and Northern Soul

2 July 2004

Who ate all the humble pies? Scots arts minister Frank McAveety apparently, who missed parliamentary questions while lunching on a pie and was forced to apologise to his MSP colleagues. Diary hears that McAveety was dragged from the the Scottish Parliament canteen to answer questions on behalf of the Scottish Executive - but instead of owning up managed to make matters worse by blaming his tardiness on an overrunning literary event. At least the whole episode should help the minister as he strains to show that he still has the common touch, despite his high-falutin' brief.

Turning point: From diving to driving to thriving

2 July 2004

When I am asked why I work in the social sector, I always answer in just three words: "I am unemployable."

Physical Regeneration: End of the growth drive

2 July 2004

Last month there was a political earthquake in Newcastle: after 31 years of Labour rule, the Liberal Democrats gained overall control of the city council. Immediately, they released a statement announcing that the controversial city-wide regeneration strategy Going for Growth (GfG), which the Labour council had been pursuing since 1999, would be scrapped (Regeneration & Renewal, 18 June, p1).

Physical Regeneration: Born again

2 July 2004

The London suburb of Wembley is now entering its fourth reincarnation, with a multi-billion pound redevelopment. Elaine Knutt asks whether this rebirth will finally unify a divided area.

Opinion: Editorial - Regeneration and housing agencies must get closer

2 July 2004

The chorus calling for changes in the working relationship between English Partnerships, the Government's regeneration agency, and the Housing Corporation, its key funder of social housebuilding, is getting louder.

Opinion: Better blame that word 'urban'

2 July 2004

I'm putting out a call for common sense. Any takers? Particularly, I'm looking for sense on towns. By that I mean not cities. Too much of what purports to be about towns and their regeneration turns out on closer inspection to be about cities. I blame that word 'urban'.

Opinion: People and places both matter

2 July 2004

In 2001, the Government's national strategy proposed a goal that within the next 20 years, no one should be disadvantaged by where they live. This initially sounds so true it's almost trite. Certainly there are examples where local improvements have yielded greater potential.

Opinion: The Polish flair for design - a hard act to beat

2 July 2004

Warsaw remains the most amazing urban regeneration story in modern history - perhaps all history. Because its people rose against Hitler in 1944, he vowed to raze it to the ground. The Red Army, encamped on the other side of the River Vistula, did nothing. When Hitler had finished, the city was 87 per cent destroyed. As war ended and people began to make a new life among the ruins, the city took an almost insanely romantic decision. Instead of doing mundane things like building prefabs, planners started to reconstruct the Old Town, the city's Renaissance heart. They had old drawings and paintings, including a series of Canalettos - not the Venetian Canaletto, but his nephew Bernardo Bellotto who confused everyone by borrowing the name.
