Urban regeneration in Glasgow and Dundee: a comparative evaluation

The recent experiences of Glasgow and Dundee in terms of urban regeneration have been very different. One reason for the disparities in the perceived levels of success of regeneration initiatives in these cities has of course been the very different political, social and economic contexts of each. However, it would also seem that the different approaches to urban regeneration in each city have contributed to such disparities, with the closely-targeted approach of Glasgow proving in some ways less effective than Dundeeʹs attempts to enable a wider area of the city to share in the benefits of regeneration.
