Abstract

Urban regeneration of previously developed, or brownfield, land requires a host of competing factors to ‘fall into place’ at the same time. This includes private finance to develop and deliver a vision for how an area will develop and integrate with the existing urban fabric. Governmental support is also essential to enable the development to take place. This paper focuses on the urban regeneration of Gloucester Quays by Peel Holdings, in the south-west of the UK, and uses a combined practice theory and systems of provision approach created by Williams et al. in 2019 to explore the factors that enabled the regeneration to occur. The paper explores each level of the governance structure and the practices that influence planning and development. It demonstrates that many different factors need to fall into place to enable regeneration to take place, and the system of provision model enables the identification of these factors.
