Abstract
Neighbourhood revitalisation is a long-standing issue of concern in Europe. Globalisation and the attendant changes to national economic conditions and structures have led to a loss of traditional industries and economic securities which have impacted with particular force on specific neighbourhoods, disconnecting them from the economic, social and political mainstream, sometimes for decades. Many European countries have developed their own policies to promote neighbourhood revitalisation in an attempt to reverse these trends and these have found support from the European Union (EU) level programmes (Barnes et al. 2007; Munk 2002).
