Overview The MSc in Urban Regeneration has been created in response to a great challenge facing Britain and the world: urban decline and the planned renaissance of our cities. The challenge is greater than restoring and rebuilding the physical fabric of cities and their heritage. We need to provide a new local economic base to replace the one that has been lost, to restore hope to communities that have been shattered, and to provide children and adults alike with a better chance in life.
It is a massive task that requires 'out of the box' thinking, intellectual rigour, collaboration and an understanding of the contributions from disciplines like urban design, urban planning, sociology, economics, finance and management. This is a programme which uniquely combines inputs from globally distinguished theorists and practitioners delivering hands-on, multidisciplinary education.

Thesis title: Urban commons: Collective ownership of urban assets Primary supervisor: Nikos Karadimitriou Secondary supervisor: Yvonne Rydin Starting date: September 2009Projected completion date: September 2013 The control by community groups of assets, such as land or buildings, has attracted attention in the last 20 years as a way of capturing and redistributing asset values to community groups, or more generally, for a local area.
This is rooted in a long history from Garden Cities, through to squatters movements, cooperative housing, co-housing developments, community land trusts and development trusts – both grassroots and government led initiatives have formed part of this rich history of the urban commons. In order to understand better the governance of community assets, they can be framed as a form of urban commons (Large 2010). If applied to land and built assets the framework can be used to understand the dynamics of community asset control.
