What To Expect.

Regeneration is often triggered by market shocks or gradual decline, but the path to recovery is rarely straightforward. Large-scale regeneration typically involves a series of interconnected projects delivered over time. The first step is to clearly identify and prioritise the issues, and to define realistic, achievable outcomes.

This session is designed to support professionals in scoping the scale and nature of regeneration required. It will explore how to recognise early warning signs – such as underinvestment in maintenance – and why ad hoc emergency funding is not a sustainable solution. Instead, we’ll focus on how structured, strategic planning can unlock long-term investment and meaningful change.

You’ll gain practical insights into:

  • Defining the problem (issues, sites, boundaries)
  • Establishing a clear vision with primary and secondary outcomes
  • Gathering and assessing the right information
  • Determining political support and leadership roles
  • Understanding legal powers and policy tools (e.g., CPOs)
  • Setting realistic timescales for delivery
