Page "Urban renewal" Paragraph 31

Other programs, such as that in Castleford in the UK and known as The Castleford Project seek to establish a process of urban renewal which enables local citizens to have greater control and ownership of the direction of their community and the way in which it overcomes market failure.

This supports important themes in urban renewal today, such as participation, sustainability and trust – and government acting as advocate and ' enabler ', rather than an instrument of command and control.
