Regeneration and Renewal - Including Leeds by Jack Palmer https://padlet.com/JPteaching/regeneration This lecture covers the approaches to and realities of designing better places and ways of living through physical reconstruction or urban planning and regeneration Looking at the history of urban policy provides opportunities to see how supposed physical disorders of cities have been handled by powerful interventions. How these interventions have worked out in practice is discussed en-us 2015-02-10 10:59:41 UTC 2026-01-26 09:48:21 UTC hello@padlet.com Jack Palmer - Victoria Gate JPteaching https://padlet.com/JPteaching/regeneration/wish/49309486 Victoria Gate (projected to open in autumn 2016) is an 'exciting addition to the vibrant shopping scene in Leeds. Delivering John Lewis’s first store in the city, the first phase will capture the heritage of the Victoria Quarter and offer a range of high quality and designer brands.

The detailed designs for phase one include three main buildings:

  • A flagship John Lewis store, with a striking facade drawing on Leeds’ textile heritage
  • Victoria Gate arcade, with stores, restaurants, cafes and leisure space in an elegantly designed two street arcade linking Victoria Quarter to the John Lewis store
  • A multi-storey car park for up to 800 cars

Alongside regenerating the physical space, the first phase will also deliver up to 1,000 retail and hospitality jobs and 1,000 construction employment opportunities'

This is an advert for 'luxury living' by the London branch of the property developers Redrow. It has a very dystopian feel (post-apocalyptic, almost!). Why is the city being represented in this way? Why is so much emphasis being attributed to the individual and finding a 'luxury living space'?

'To look out of the city, that could have swallowed you whole, and think "I did this", to stand with the world at your feet'. This line presents a hyper-individualised, neoliberal twist on a sentiment expressed at the beginning of Georg Simmel's The Metropolis and Mental Life, regarding the metropolitan individual's 'resistance to being levelled, swallowed up in the social-technological mechanism' of the city

It's undergoing a transformation at the moment as a result of a long-touted regeneration project. Just down the road in the picture is a new bistro/cafe which looks from the outside to be quite up-market and expensive. It's next to a slightly worn looking beauty salon which has been there for a long time. I was struck by the contrast between the new and the old and thought of the sorts of conflicts attendant with gentrification processes.

Lots of nice cafes to eat in with food from a variety of world cultures. Fairly reasonably priced at the moment and brought tea from a very friendly couple in the corner. Saw people eating fresh oysters at a fish bar as well, which I've not seen before. Lots of space for new businesses. Would be interested to know how more longstanding stalls have experienced this change. ]]> 2016-10-13 11:39:31 UTC https://padlet.com/JPteaching/regeneration/wish/130391972 https://padlet.com/JPteaching/regeneration/wish/132308125 Public Space Protection Orders as a tool of 'regeneration' / cleansing.]]> 2016-10-21 11:29:47 UTC https://padlet.com/JPteaching/regeneration/wish/132308125 AW: Interesting article on how we might 'regenerate' to build an alternative vision of the city https://padlet.com/JPteaching/regeneration/wish/132308311 2016-10-21 11:31:23 UTC https://padlet.com/JPteaching/regeneration/wish/132308311 AW: Piece on culture, heritage and the regeneration of Leeds https://padlet.com/JPteaching/regeneration/wish/135696984 2016-11-07 09:04:58 UTC https://padlet.com/JPteaching/regeneration/wish/135696984 JP - Jakarta is sinking JPteaching https://padlet.com/JPteaching/regeneration/wish/139305164 Interesting example of "regeneration" - designing future cities to make them more "resilient" to climate change. ]]> 2016-11-22 10:54:33 UTC https://padlet.com/JPteaching/regeneration/wish/139305164
