This comprehensive book delves into the crucial role of the creative sector in governing urban renewal and economic development initiatives. Rory Shand explores the intricate interplay between the top-down approach of the creative sector and the bottom-up roles played by creative arts organizations in driving development and engaging with local communities or areas involved in regeneration projects. These projects aim to promote employment, training, education, and social engagement.

At the heart of these initiatives lie governance mechanisms, encompassing delivery, funding, and participation. Shand draws upon case studies from the UK, Germany, and Canada, comparing national creative sector policies and the involvement of creative arts bodies in governing urban renewal and development programs. Additionally, a comparative chapter offers an overview of best and worst practices, examining and summarizing the key themes across both theory and practice.

In his concluding remarks, Shand highlights the significant challenges posed by governance mechanisms to urban renewal and economic development programs. He also identifies potential future comparative case studies in this field, making this book an invaluable resource for students of environmental studies, public policy, politics, and geography. Moreover, practitioners from NGOs, local and national governments, and community projects will find this book to be a valuable tool for understanding and implementing effective governance strategies in the context of urban renewal and economic development.
