Journal of Urban Regeneration and Renewal
Testimonials

“Since beginning in 2007 the Journal of Urban Regeneration and Renewal (JURR) has proved and invaluable resource for informing professional regenerators, academics and students about the ever-changing landscape of international regeneration policy and practice. As an editorial board member, and now editor, I look forward to continuing to contribute to debates regarding the evolution and evaluation of ideas surrounding the regeneration and renewal of our towns and cities. The JURR provides the ideal space where such critical discussion between professionals, policy makers and academics can take place.”

‘Regeneration needs a publication that combines both academic and practitioners’ concerns. The calibre of individuals and contributors involved suggests the journal will be of great value to everyone in the field of urban regeneration. The Journal of Urban Regeneration and Renewal is long overdue.’
Dr Gareth Potts, Director of Policy and Research, British Urban Regeneration Association

‘As an Editorial Board Member I am delighted to be able to support the Journal of Urban Regeneration and Renewal.  Over coming months I look forward to contributing towards the evolving debate on how we can create and maintain sustainable communities in the UK and beyond. The Journal’s focus on guiding, informing and challenging the process of placemaking closely chimes with the ASC objective of supporting practitioners and policy makers in delivering sustainable communities.’
Professor Peter Roberts, Chair, Academy of Sustainable Communities

‘The launch of the Journal of Urban Regeneration and Renewal is timely and important. In regeneration in Scotland, as elsewhere in the UK, there is now a substantial body of research findings together with a fund of practical experience-based knowledge around community engagement, funding, procurement and delivery. Cross-sector exchanges, evaluation and learning are vital if we are to move forward and develop our knowledge and capacity to deliver effective, sustainable regeneration.’
Edward Harkins, Networking Initiatives, Scottish Urban Regeneration Forum
