Cultural led regeneration (CLR) is the idea that culture can be employed as a driver for urban economic growth and has become part of the new orthodox by which cities seek to enhance their competitive position (Paddison and Miles, 2007). Cultural led regeneration became a well-known strategy throughout Europe from the 1980s; the aims of the initiative were to regenerate and revitalise cities or regions suffering from social and economic problems as a result of industrialisation, using platforms such as cultural projects, promoting art based events and encouraging better standard of living .The Tyne and Wear Region is a metropolitan county that consists of five metropolitan boroughs, which are, Gateshead, North Tyneside, South Tyneside and the …show more content…
Prior to the initiative of the CLR programme the Tyne and Wear to be precise Newcastle Upon Tyne was recovering from deindustrialization, as it was a very prominent site for more primary sector activities such as coal mining and iron ship building and an expanding courtyard due to the ships production in the 19th century this has made it a prosperous city (Hudson,1989). However, an aftermath of the Two world wars led to decrease in the primary sector, with the inventions such as the internet and more sophisticated technology, the world is gradually moving closer to becoming a service or tertiary industry. This resulted in the region becoming economically depressed leading to high unemployment rates, poorer quality of life and making the region one of the poorest in Britain (Middleton and Freestone,2008). According to Pettingher (2012) there has been a decrase in employment in the coal sector from 1923- 1945 there was a 1.2 million drop to 0.8 million till 2010 wherby the employment in the industry fell to 6,000. This led to an increase in Unemplyment.Nonetheless, with the introduction of the CLR iniciative and the NewcastleGateshead Iniviatove in 2000 there have changes in the employment rates. With innovative art and cultural projects promoting the region as a suitable site for Mass tourism, it has created jobs within the society to help improve their standard of living and combat unemployment. With CLR projects in the tyne and wear region, Sunderland . whereby there were structural changes with places used as ships courtyards in the 1800s transformed to areas recognized as a combination of commercial and residential facilities. With the sole purpose of generating income for the city and improving the local economy of the tyne and wear region. Examples of such developmenrs are as follow, a university accomamodation, luxury apartments built in
They were hardly helped with the condition that Britain now found itself in. Unemployment figures reached new peaks with the largest being in Wales where 33% of men now found themselves without work. The traditional industries, of coal, cotton, iron, steel and shipbuilding, known collectively as the staple industries were the hardest hit; The coal pits of north Wales were finding themselves without contracts, and the shipyards in Jarrow, near Newcastle were so bad that the men announced a march to London, taking several weeks. It accomplished very little but to show just how bad the north of England had been hit.
Choosing an unfamiliar place within the small town of Athens, OH was a difficult task for someone with a diverse list of interests to do. Personally, I had to think about where I wanted to spend my time ‘culture watching’. There are many places that I have spent much of my time, like coffee shops, multiple basketball and football games freshman year, and three well known dining halls across campus. I had to think to myself where have I not spent time in Athens, and then it came to me, church. For the cultural immersion project, I spent three Sundays observing the Athens First United Methodist Church, each service being one hour long focusing on different areas each time. The location of the church is extremely familiar to me being that I live
After this initial flourish of Pyrmont in manufacturing, production, trade and freight, the area experienced the effects of urban decay, as Sydney moved on into the 20th century and spatial patterns began to change and industry, as well as people, begun to move elsewhere. The 1950’s saw the move of much heavy industry away from such close proximity to the city centre, with major factories and businesses relocating further up the Parramatta River
Wheelan and Co., a preface to a business directory, says, “It is to the population that Manchester is mainly indebted to its elevation as a seat of commerce and manufacture…for which it is distinguished beyond any other town in the world” (Document 9). This also shows how the growth of the city and its population resulted in this issue of manufacturing and commercial growth. Wheelan and Co. reacts to this elevation of the city saying, “Perhaps no part of England, not even London, presents such remarkable and attractive features as Manchester, the Workshop of the World” (Document 9). This reaction is positive toward the manufacturing growth of the city, describing it as “remarkable” and “attractive.” Another positive opinion on the growth of manufacturing is seen when Thomas B. Macaulay, a liberal Member of Parliament, says that “improvements are owing to the increase in national wealth which the manufacturing system has produced” (Document 3). This reaction shows how he thinks that the growth of manufacturing in Manchester is the basis for the improvement and the wealth of the whole country of England. Because he is a member of English Parliament, he may have a positive bias towards Manchester because it is an English city. Alexis de Tocqueville, a French visitor to Manchester, reacts in a similar way to the issue of the growth of manufacturing that resulted from the growth of the city saying, “from this [city] the greatest
Wages--thanks mainly to accelerated machinery and improved working conditions--have largely increased. The lavish provision of public parks, baths, and free libraries promotes the health, happiness and culture of the industrial orders. Far seldomer than before do we hear the murmur of popular discontent. Sickness and mortality have been reduced to an extent that is almost incredible” (doc 10 – Abram’s, a journalist and historian, published journal account of the improvements to industrial Manchester.)
There is a Mexican man that enters with the rest of his family. They eat beans, rice, flour tortillas and etc. The family does there every day routine, the dad wakes up at six- thirty to go to work in his truck. The children go to school and the mother stays at home. The things a person does in their all has a reason which goes all back to culture. Culture is what makes up everyone different from one another. Texts such as “What is Cultural Identity?”, “Where Worlds Collide” and “Two ways to Belong” supports that depending on one’s culture it effects one perspective on the world and others.
At the beginning of the 19th century, Manchester had embraced the ideals of the industrial revolution, which led the city to become the industrial heart of England. Since the development of industry was on such a huge scale, there were both pessimistic and positive responses to it. Numerous were concerned about health changes due to the relegate in living standards, as well as the introduction of dangerous and un-hygienic factory, while others were more concerned with the visual appeal that the city had to offer.
The case study of Manchester demonstrates that the poor conditions of the hard work that the workers put in so that their families could survive, the suffering of the workers, the improvements of life conditions in the city, and the beautiful city itself all contributed to the extent of the progress from the Industrial Revolution. As the Industrial Revolution began, citizens worked hard to achieve an alluring city, but urbanization caused pushback. Maps drawn during this time exhibit the growth of Manchester from 1750-1850 due to urbanization (Doc 1). These two maps developed to reveal the difference of Manchester from the past to present.
From the late 18th century to the mid-19th century, the English city of Manchester underwent a large change under the influence of the Industrial Revolution. It can be described as a large factory, as it was filled with manufacturing factories and workers. Unfortunately, these workers had to live in inhumane conditions while developing the city of Manchester.
In order to understand fully the regeneration of the Stratford area, it is imperative that there is some prior knowledge of how the area has developed over time. As London is the capital of England it has always been at the forefront of development, but other different areas of London have progressed at different speeds, meaning that some areas have been left waiting for regeneration whilst others have already developed. Regeneration is defined as the revitalisation of a place or community. Regeneration is both a process and an outcome . In the 1920s there were many large slums including Old Nichol, situated in Shoreditch. The conditions in the slums were well documented by Irene Barclay, who was a chartered surveyor and wanted to address social need and her actions were well appreciated by
Especially in Great Britain and other European countries that also participated in the industrial revolution. The first document depicts two maps; one from the year 1750, and another from a century later, 1850. By examining these photographic renditions, there is a clear growth in size of the city. In 1850, the city is much larger than it was in 1750; this rapid expansion of Manchester was caused by more and more people moving to the city, and more and more factories. More factories means that there are more jobs, and more money being made. Moving on to document three, the author, Thomas Macaulay is refuting the arguments of people who think that the industrialization of Manchester is a bad thing. Macaulay argues that the industrial revolution is helping people to live more comfortably than ever. As a member of parliament, we can expect that Macaulay is well-versed in Manchester’s -as well as England’s- economic
Dad reports that she first had what looked like a pimple about seven or 10 days ago on her nose. Since then, without really fussing with it, she has developed these scabbed areas that they thought she should have looked at. They do not seem to be getting better. Dad has noticed since he first started, that they perhaps seem a little bit redder. Mom has been putting some Neosporin on it, but it does seem to be making much of a difference. She has had just a very mild cold symptoms in the last couple of weeks, but nothing major. She has not been coughing. She does not seem particularly stuffy. She is not sneezing, per dad. She does have a history of asthma and there has been no increased asthma symptoms. She does get nosebleeds intermittently per dad and she has had a couple in the last week. He is not sure if that is related or not. He says that he is able to stop them very quickly and they have not noticed any other major issues. She had no other skin issues that they have seen. These nose symptoms that she is having are not painful. They do not seem to be itchy and they really do not bother her and without looking in the mirror, she says she would not have realized that they are there.
The purpose of this essay is to critically reflect on the new ideas I have learnt throughout this semester, ideas that has changed the way I understand the experiences of the Aboriginal and Torres strait islander people. The essay will also link my understanding of how cultural identity can influence health equity, using the CATSINaM’s definition of cultural safety.
Property-led regeneration involves the regeneration of an inner city area by changing the image of the area, improving the environment, attracting private investment and improving confidence for further investment. In many cases it involves a flagship project such as the redevelopment of the Albert Dock. Urban Development corporations are the main form of property-led regeneration.
