Abstract
The article analyses the management of recently regenerated areas which have become tourist destinations. Through the use of three case studies, two in the UK and one in Canada, the authors consider the organizational structures, general management approach and funding sources established to ensure sustainable regeneration. The findings show that areas which have encouraged income generating uses through retail or office rental face a more secure future than those which rely more on tourism and leisure. The attractiveness to visitors and hence the marketability of the areas is best ensured by the relevant organizations working together and taking a long-term approach to maintenance and management.
