Contemporary urban regeneration seeks to encourage diverse; creative new neighbourhoods that are rich in economic potential. Yet the end result frequently displaces precisely those qualities; activities and communities it claims to engender. Are people best served by a preoccupation with regeneration as economic growth? In The Regeneration Game Ben Campkin provides a lucid and wide-ranging critique of contemporary regeneration. Focusing on present-day regeneration areas in London that are key to the capitalrsquo;s modern identity; including the site of the 2012 Olympics; the result is both a compelling account of contested sites within the capitalrsquo;s recent history and a powerful critique of modern methods of urban regeneration.
