Plastering over the urban wounds

Article Abstract:

Short-term regeneration initiatives can cause a number of problems, according to a report sponsored by the Joseph Rowntree Foundation. Regeneration can only be successful if everyone involved understands what is meant by 'sustainable' and what is acceptable as a lifespan for a scheme. There is often a lack of involvement by local people in such initiatives, and short-term renewal schemes are rarely reviewed after their completion.
