Abstract | A nuanced discourse on the mix of factors shaping the urban cultural economy includes investigations of the saliency of the built environment, and particularly the positionality of heritage buildings, in culture-led urban regeneration programmes. To this enterprise, this paper contributes an assessment of cultural regeneration in Victory Square, an historically rich and socially-contested site at the intersection of Vancouvers Downtown Eastside (DTES) and the Central Business District (CBD), with its long history of marginalization and contemporary trajectory of social upgrading, and the insistently revalorized inner city of new high-rise residential communities. Both the conflictual past and dislocations of the ‘active present’ insert multiple narratives into the regeneration storyline, underscoring the complexity of social relations played out within the post-industrial landscapes of the city. © 2015, © 2014 Taylor & Francis. |
A nuanced discourse on the mix of factors shaping the urban cultural economy includes investigations of the saliency of the built environment, and particularly the positionality of heritage buildings, in culture-led urban regeneration programmes. Introduction Industrial heritage and regeneration of this heritage constitute an agenda item of the last years. Handszuh in the assessment report of UNWTO Technical Seminar states that industrial heritage is classified under three main headings: industrial and technological monuments living industry of all types including agriculture and food production and intangible heritage. With all these advantages and being at the focus of interest of global capital the industrial heritage has played the role of an important tool in implementation of the culture-led regeneration policies and projects. The transformation project being composed of hotels business and shopping centers and covering the historical Haydarpasa Railway Station and Seaport has given the danger signals of a project of rent on this area where railway station and railways are integrated with a great importance for Istanbul.
