Opportunity Overview
The industrial past of many big cities is reflected through an impressive amount of land occupied by former factories. To cope with the declining industrial heritage, every postindustrial city government has to create and implement industrial regeneration policies (as a part of the planning policy). The effectiveness of such policies depends on how they are used, and whether the framework of the regeneration process brings more limitations or opportunities for developers and investors.
The proposed research will focus mainly on British cities with high concentrations of industrial heritage and highly developed real estate markets. The aim is to determine whether and to what extent former industrial areas' regeneration policies influence businesses that conduct regeneration projects and with which impact on local residents, city economies and sustainability. This project seeks to improve the quality of collaboration between private and public sectors in the process of industrial heritage regeneration through the planning policies' effectiveness. This is supported by the main research question: How do city planning policies in British postindustrial cities with developed real estate markets influence the effectiveness of industrial heritage regeneration processes? To answer the research question, the achievement of several objectives will be needed. These are to:
1 Establish the most accurate definition of the built industrial heritage for the needs of the undertaken research.
2 Select case-study cities mainly within the UK that comply with the worked-out criteria: a) existence of a vast industrial heritage; b) developed real estate markets (mainly in terms of availability of sufficient market data); c) developed industrial heritage regeneration programmes.
3 Set up the criteria for evaluating the effectiveness of the industrial heritage regeneration process.
Thus, for this research, I will need to collect some secondary data about best practices of industrial...
