The Northern Regeneration Map is designed to help members deliver housing-led regeneration well and to help policy makers to understand the situation on the ground. It brings together a growing library of housing-led regeneration projects and case studies identified through the Renew inquiry and emerging regeneration priorities.

Explore schemes in more detail, including their background, challenges, funding and delivery approach, outcomes, and key lessons learned. Whether you’re shaping a new project, or exploring different delivery models, the Northern Regeneration Map provides examples from across the North to help you deliver housing-led regeneration more effectively.

Use the filters to explore projects by region, regeneration type or project status, including proposed, ongoing and completed projects.

The map is a live resource which we will continue to update. If you are working on a regeneration project, contact Liam Gregson to make sure your scheme is included on the map.

Renew is supported by Homes for the North and Muse.
