Abstract

In 2014 policy makers in many countries face the question of how best to deliver integrated
urban regeneration in a period of economic and financial austerity. But there is nothing new under
the sun. This question has been asked many times in many countries during the past two decades.
But it is particularly important now at European level since the European Commission proposals for
the programming period 2014-20 underline that it intends to make a greater effort to promote the
urban agenda in future. However, the success of European policies and funds and whether they add
value will depend on how they are used in practice in member states. This article explores the
prospects for success. It asks what do we know about the challenges of delivering integrated urban
regeneration? What has been the experience of different countries? What are the key messages
from the past that should guide policy makers in the future? This article attempts to provide some
answers to these five questions: What is integrated urban regeneration? What works in delivering
it? What are the key policy messages for the future? What are the implications for the European
Commission? What are the implications for Spain?
