Urban regeneration requires a number of passionate, connected actors to be effective. Two that play key roles are local governments and private investors.

Urban design is not architecture, landscape architecture, or city planning; rather, it is about relationships: how buildings relate to open spaces; how buildings and open spaces relate to other buildings and open spaces; how buildings and open spaces relate to the street; how people relate to these buildings and open spaces and streets; and how people relate to each other in this complex web.
