Participants shared ideas on fundamentals of urban regeneration, distinctions and linkages between urban planning and regeneration, environmental remediation and adaptive reuse of brownfield sites, and importance of community engagement and social equity.
Lagos delegation discussed how Liverpool Urban Regeneration model could inform regeneration efforts in areas like Yaba (tech hub development) and Epe (eco-tourism and waterfront planning).
Urban regeneration can catalyse socio-economic growth, attract investment, and enhance urban liveability.
Urban regeneration embraces social, economic and environmental aspects, so almost all government activity is implied, as well as the private sector and civil society.
More creative and innovative approaches are needed to engage all actors in view to develop and implement more successful and inclusive urban regeneration initiatives.
