"Over recent decades, approaches to urban regeneration have changed dramatically throughout Europe and the USA, drawing on notions of public-private partnership, growth coalitions and local spatial alliances. The author provides critical consideration of such theories in terms of their application to practice. He shows how these notions are used to explain the nature and underlying processes of urban development and to further objectives for urban regeneration. To test their applicability, he examines the case of Dundee, including the role of the Dundee Partnership, a model for many aspects of partnership working. The resulting conclusions suggest ways in which the practice of urban regeneration can be improved in terms of inclusion, equity and sustainability."--Jacket

In the Netherlands, active citizenship in the context of urban regeneration of deprived neighbourhoods seems to have evolved into 'entrepreneurial citizenship'. The concept of entrepreneurial citizenship combines top-down and bottom-up elements. National and/or local governments promote an ideal citizen with entrepreneurship skills and competencies to create more responsible and entrepreneurial citizens' participation in government-initiated arrangements. At the same time, bottom-up behavioural practices from citizens who demand more opportunities to innovatively apply assets, entrepreneurial skills, strategies and collaboration with other stakeholders are initiated to achieve their goals and create societal-added value. The aim of this paper is to better understand the origins of 'entrepreneurial citizenship', and its meaning in the Dutch context of urban regeneration. To do this, we will review the relevant international literature and combine insights from studies on governance, active citizenship, social and community entrepreneurship and urban neighbourhoods. We will also analyse how entrepreneurial citizenship can be locally observed in the Netherlands as reported in the literature. ; Publisher PDF ; Peer reviewed

Recent British urban policy has pursued 'regeneration'. This article offers a critical reflection on this pervasive metaphor. 'Regeneration' is a signifier of profound change in many religious traditions and political ideologies, both radical and conservative. In practice, however, the more conservative meanings, deriving from individualistic spiritualities and 'psychologisms', sociological organicism and statist interventionism, remain dominant. Hence, for all its 'holistic' and 'inclusive' novelty, contemporary urban regeneration preserves some familiar limitations of perspective. In particular, in its quest for 'social inclusion', often the 'excluders' are not in view and the 'excluded' are not in focus.
