Urban Regeneration: A Theological Perspective from the West End of Newcastle-upon-Tyne

Urban Regeneration of the Newcastle West Deanery of the Church of England's Diocese of Newcastle

This article seeks to define what is meant by `urban regeneration', and to offer a theological, biblical-based critique of regeneration definitions and practices. It argues that regeneration must always be `with people in mind' and that the prime purpose of regeneration is to promote human flourishing. The Bible's emphasis on `life in all its fullness' and Layard's work on happiness challenge regeneration practitioners to be explicit about who regeneration is for and what they are trying to achieve.

Key Words: Urban • City • Regeneration • Newcastle-upon-Tyne • `Life in all its fullness' • Human Flourishing
