Regeneration
of Waterfront Heritage Zones and Community Participation:
Lessons from
Glasgow, Govan and Gdansk
Symposium,
Govan, 7-9 June 2015
Organized by the University of the West of Scotland’s
Creative Futures Institute, School of Media, Culture and Society, in
association with RSE-funded
Interdisciplinary and
Cross-Institutional Research Network Regeneration
and Waterfront Heritage Zones in Northern Europe
This network for
knowledge exchange, funded by the Royal Society of Edinburgh, focuses on exploring participatory approaches
to waterfront regeneration in urban spaces in transition in Northern European
cities. The main case studies of regeneration focus on Govan (Scotland) and
Gdansk (Poland), each of which are dealing with the consequences of the
post-industrial demise of the shipbuilding industry, trying to find a
transition into a new economy and community. The network’s objective is to contribute to Scottish government policy
initiatives aimed to encourage community empowerment and to identify pathways
to successful planning initiatives regarding waterfront regeneration and
participatory planning for the public realm, as well as build a platform for
further research and exchange between civic leaders, activists and academics in
Glasgow and Gdansk.
