Abstract / Description

While the last decade has brought about a flourish of multi-disciplinary research on the topic of high street regeneration in general, the expansion of the cultural field of architectural production to the ‘unplanned’ public realm of the city has received little critical attention. Bringing together and juxtaposing the visual, social as well as semantic aspects of ‘distinctiveness’ in relation to high street regeneration, this paper aims to offer a starting point for a critical review of the architect’s evolving role in public realm renewal.
