“…The process of urban design is a potential arena to discuss and negotiate solutions and to bring opportunities for collaboration. Urban design in urban regeneration is an 'ongoing highly values-laden argumentative process', in Lang (1994)'s description, to negotiate with the different goals and motivations of various stakeholders (McGlynn and Murrain, 1994;George, 1997;Carmona et al, 2002;Dair and Williams, 2006;Williams and Dair, 2007).…”

This study explores the social dimension of urban design in urban regeneration with a detailed empirical investigation of urban design in urban regeneration practices, principally Scotswood and Walker Riverside in Newcastle upon Tyne, UK. The two case studies within the umbrella of the Housing Market Renewal Pathfinder programme provides a chance to discuss the social dimension of urban design in urban regeneration through a comparative analysis of different urban design approaches adopted for two areas and different outcome in the social dimension of urban design. This study concludes with a discussion about the social dimension of urban design as the antithesis of top-down master planning and the potentials of urban design in urban regeneration. It highlights that urban design plays a role in community engagement, as a means of engendering community engagement in urban regeneration.

“…The importance of public spaces as they are designed and shaped may vary according to the perspective of the evaluator [11]; however, consolidated consensus exists in the literature on the high social value and potential for integration of public spaces. [12][13][14][15][16][17][18][19] Dines and Cattel [20] recognized that public realm offers opportunity for social encounter and therefore ethnic integration.…”

Sustainable Urban Development embeds the three pillars of sustainability: environmental, social and economic. The European Commission position on Sustainable Urban Development reflects this concept, recommending an integrated approach paying attention to several intertwined factors, including the quality of public spaces. In European cities, poverty issues and exclusion are particularly acute. Inclusive growth is one of the main drivers of the Europe 2020 strategy, thus, it is expected that actions for fighting social exclusion are significant in deprived urban areas. However, in the EC approach still policies for social inclusion tend to remain relegated to the socio-economic sphere, with a weak link to the physical element as specific matter of concern. This paper aims at discussing the role played by the spatial quality of public spaces in supporting social integration, by focussing on a case study in Italy. More in details, the paper discusses the effects of public policies undertaken in the 1990s by the City of Reggio Calabria to reduce poverty for the Roma people, by displacing those inhabiting squalid and unhealthy camps to council housing in two neighbourhoods with a different quality of public spaces. In one area the displacement happened successfully, in the other, social issues plague the community. The paper aims at investigating the influence of the quality of public spaces on the displacement outcomes. The research methodology is mainly qualitative and is based on field work complemented by photo survey and interviews. The paper suggests that the spatial quality of the public spaces might have contributed to exacerbate social conflict and detachment in the unsuccessful case. It is therefore recommended to incorporate a significant component on the public space inclusive design in any socioeconomic intervention aimed at overcoming social exclusion.

“…Achieving higher standards of design can add value to both new and existing parts of a city or neighbourhood (Carmona et al 2002). For real estate developers and their financiers, the producers of the built environment, urban design can help to stabilise local market conditions, reduce overall risk and better the marketing potential of new projects (Madanipour 2006).…”
