Summary Changes in the nature of local governance in the UK have raised a number of issues for academic researchers. The shift to quango governance and the denial of community access to decision‐making processes have become increasingly important issues in the conflicts surrounding regeneration programmes. This paper, drawing on a research project undertaken in Cardiff Bay, South Wales, explores the issues surrounding the access and distribution of knowledge in the new urban governance and the influence that academics, in their relatively privileged positions, can have on community–institution relations.
