| Abstract |
This study examines theories of communities' roles and responsibilities in regeneration at deprived residential communities, focusing on the elements required for social regeneration and analysing recent regeneration works in the U.K in order to suggest strategic implication for regeneration of the deprived local communities in Korea, whose redevelopment opportunities have been being faded away thanks to economic down-turn. The paper has reviewed two different projects: a Mayor's Crowdfunding Programme ,collaborating between Greater London Authority and the local communities, and Coin Street Neighborhood Centre for 4 Housing Co-ops in the Southbank area. Due to increasing demand of social activities and dynamic urban changes, sustainable social regeneration has become as crucial as economic and architectural regeneration. Through the analysis on both projects the paper identifies design elements and indicators that make regeneration process socially sustainable, with active support from public bodies such as GLA or Coin Street's groups and active participation by urban communities, who has been deliberately trained to drive local agendas to successful regeneration. The reduced public subsidy in the U.K has created string demand of creative community education software and self-driving ability of liasing local possibilities and hidden potentials. |
