Shaping places - Regenerating places - How successful is regeneration? Flashcards
What indicators can be used to measure the success of regeneration?
Economic, demographic, social and environmental indicators can be used to measure the success of regeneration.
What should regenerated areas show signs of if regeneration has been successful?
Regenerated areas should show signs of improved economic performance and quality of life if regeneration has been successful.
What is a key indicator of success?
A key indicator of success is population change.
What does demographic growth indicate?
Demographic growth indicates that areas are popular and people are moving in.
What is demographic growth?
Demographic growth is the technical term for population total numbers and structure (age groups and male versus female balance).
How much did Liverpool’s population decline by between 1961 and 2001?
Its population declined from 683,000 in 1961 to 439,000 in 2001.
What happened to Liverpool’s population according to the 2011 Census?
The 2011 Census showed an increase to 466,000 - the first growth in 50 years. This alone suggests Liverpool’s long period of regeneration since 1980 has finally paid off.
What happened to the population of an area on the River Tyne quayside in Newcastle (called Ouseburn) between 2001 and 2011?
Between 2001 and 2011:
- The working population aged 25-64 increased, suggesting that people are moving into new apartments and houses.
- The 70+ population declined, which could indicate that older residents are being pushed out by regeneration.
- There was a huge increase in the 15-24-year-old population, because much of the most recent regeneration has involved new student accommodation, i.e. studentification.
When does studentification happen?
Studentification happens when an area becomes popular with students, and it can lead to dramatic changes in the age profile of an area as student accommodation increases.
Why are areas populated with students not necessarily welcomed by all?
Areas populated with students are not necessarily welcomed by all, due to noise issues, the transient nature of the population and the fact that students tend to be up all night!
What is the name for the process when an area’s population changes as a result of college and university students moving in?
Studentification
According to deprivation levels from the IMD in 2004 and 2015, how have areas along Newcastle’s quayside improved compared to areas to the east and west?
- Areas along the quayside have improved, moving out of the 10% most deprived and 10-20% most deprived categories and into the 20-50% range.
- Areas to the east and west remain in the 10% most deprived category.
These data suggest successful regeneration, but also suggest greater inequality between the now regenerated areas and areas close by that have seen no regeneration.
How has Liverpool been successful in its regeneration?
After the city was European Capital of Culture in 2008, 85% of residents felt the city was a better place to live. Merseyside Development Corporation created 22,000 jobs between 1981 and 1998 and attracted £700 million of private investment. Between 1998 and 2008 a further 25,000 jobs were created.

Although Newcastle and Liverpool have changes in numbers of employed and levels of deprivation, why are they relatively still worse than other places - what statistics show this?
Child poverty in Liverpool fell from 34.7% of children in 2006 to 32.5% in 2011, but the England average in 2011 was 20.1% and in Reading it was 17.8%.
What did a report in 2013 by the Work Foundation look at?
A report in 2013 by the Work Foundation looked at inequality in the UK based on differences in wages:
- The top five most unequal cities were London, Reading & Bracknell, Portsmouth, Guildford and Aberdeen.
- The top five most equal cities were Bradford, Plymouth, Barnsley, Stoke and Burnley.
Overall, northern deindustrialised cities were much more equal than their more successful southern counterparts, because most people are poor.
According to a report in 2013 by the Work Foundation, which was the five most unequal cities?
The top five most unequal cities were London, Reading & Bracknell, Portsmouth, Guildford and Aberdeen.
