As suburban expansion declines, cities have become essential economic, cultural and social hubs of global connectivity. In an effort to keep or bring-back individuals and families to the urban core, regeneration schemes are increasingly employed in cities across North America. (Re)Generating Inclusive Cities: Poverty & Planning in Urban North America is about urban revitalization and mega-project development, providing comparative analysis of regeneration efforts across five major North American cities.

Each chapter focuses on urban regeneration projects and trends in San Francisco, Toronto, Boston, Vancouver, New York and Seattle, exploring infrastructure projects like the High Line and Big Dig alongside urban neighbourhood creation and regeneration projects. These projects have evolved in the context of unprecedented neoliberal public policy and soaring real estate prices. As such, they make a complex contribution to urban inequality and poverty. How do we understand unprecedented trends in urban regeneration?

This book wrestles with challenging discussions of regeneration, addressing who benefits and who loses in these schemes. It provides policy tools to mitigate harm, while still supporting better urban regeneration and renewal, to build more socially just and inclusive cities.
