Realising the Potential of Abandoned Military Sites as an Integral part of Sustainable Urban Community Regeneration

Summary

Introduction

The withdrawal of the military presence from an urban area often happens suddenly leading to extremely adverse circumstances for the economy and communities affected.
 

Former military or heritage sites provide excellent potential to act as the catalyst for urban regeneration, many consist of historic buildings dating back over centuries and the source of rich cultural heritage. The challenge is to transform these abandoned sites into thriving sources of economic activity, employment and social cohesion.
