| Abstract | This paper is concerned with regions of cities, or City-Regions and the capacity of culture as a mechanism of social development in the twenty-first century. It focusses on a case study research project Yorkshire 21 (Y21), funded by Leeds Beckett University, UK. This interdisciplinary project united academic researchers with local communities to enable small-scale, culture-led community regeneration projects in Yorkshire. It was born out of the universitys mission to engage with and contribute to the well-being of the region, and to increase public engagement with academic research by establishing a conversation between scholars and members of the public. Following the exemplar of a series of creative writing community history workshops held as part of the project, the article examines a smallscale study of culture-led regeneration in a specific City-Region of the United Kingdom. Critically exploring community-led regeneration as a strategy based on recovery and valorization of local culture, the article proposes the centrality of community contributions to culture-led regeneration projects in contemporary UK City-Regions. © 2017 WIT Press. |

| The cooperative and enriching group experiences in the workshop contexts resulted in solidarity and increased social bonds, new relationships and improved communication, new friendships and reduced isolation and adult-youth interactions and facilitated relationship building between individuals of different ethnic backgrounds. . | These policies and resultant projects sought to humanise the architectural landscape of communities, making people feel invested in and connected to the buildings around them. . | In this way, culture-led regeneration demonstrated its potential to change not only the fortunes of a society, but also to shape the lives of the individuals living in a City-Region. . | Investment is the lifeblood of a city, but proximity also creates capacity for growth and demand. . | With an aim to bring pride and change to communities and individuals, as well as to transform the negative perception of people and places in City-Regions, the project foregrounded community involvement in the whole process from inception to design creation and application. . | It also suggests that strategically investing in events and opportunities for small-scale engagement between the academy and local communities can lead to more sustainable practices and development opportunities. . | This participative approach is perhaps why culture is so often mobilized as part of regeneration strategies and policies aimed at City-Regions. . | By examining ways of expressing and articulating a common culture and concerns it awakened memories of the past as well as gave residents the chance to reflect on the identity of the place today and what narratives they wanted to pass on to the next generation of people who will live there and use the new community centre building. . |
