| Abstract |
In recognizing the shortage of professionals to support the rapidly increasing urban regeneration-related projects such as the Urban
Regeneration New Deal project, the government initiated a university supporting scheme for the continuous and systematic nurturing of Urban
Regeneration Experts. In order to provide preliminary research materials for establishing a sustainable urban regeneration expert education
system, this study aims to uncover the background of these university-led degree programs along with the existing urban regeneration
specialized education program, research course details at six selected universities, examine the curriculum operated by each educational
organization and analyze how it differs from the urban regeneration-related degree programs at overseas universities. The study revealed that
the educational organizations and curriculum of these six universities were generally similar, regional specialization was not prominent despite
their goal of providing regionally specialized course that perform as regional base education associations. Since the similarity of the
curriculum has the potential to intensify in the future due to the isomorphism phenomenon, special attention should be given with potential
methods to not harm the diversity of research while supporting programs that involve CPD (Continuing Professional Development). |
