This conference explored the roots of current regeneration strategies and ask what has worked over the past 10 years, and what has not. From urban regeneration, to sustainable communities, has the delivery matched the policy? The conference aimed to take forward all of this experience and look ahead to how the lessons learned can shape the next 10 years of regeneration policy.

Max Nathan, Senior Researcher at the Centre for Cities, was speaking in a discussion panel entitled '10 Years on, Where is the Urban Renaissance now?'.
