Community planning: Scenarios
Derelict site re-use
- description
- scenario timeline
Often, sites are left vacant for many years. Alternatively, local authorities may carry out some landscaping or sell the land to the private sector for development.
The scenario here shows how a popular use for the site can be generated and implemented, starting off with an ideas competition.
The initiative can be taken by anyone; a local authority, regeneration agency, community group individual or urban design studio at a school of architecture or planning.

An initiative to make use of a derelict urban site in public ownership. Timescale assumes relatively simple option adopted such as a pocket park. A building would take longer to construct.
