Abstract

Purpose

Design/methodology/approach

The article discusses the background to urban regeneration and introduces the papers in the issue.

Findings

The papers investigate and understand how policies, programmes and projects can increase well‐being in the built environment, and what this means for those involved. Specifically the papers address key features of well‐being in terms of the economics of regeneration, participation, sustainability, social enterprise, migration, partnership, management, and the importance of place and space.

Originality/value

The article focuses on the papers of the special issue that encourage pragmatic and workable solutions based on sound theory and practice.
