The paper explores the relationship between the economic, social and political forces shaping urban regeneration and its impact on selected case studies (London-Beirut). It draws on experiences with planning and delivery of regeneration schemes through various forms of public / private partnerships in England and Lebanon. The paper discusses urban regeneration definition and its analytical framework, policies, strategies, and key success factors. Then the study analyses two international experiences of urban regeneration for land with high urban value namely; Canary Wharf in London and Downtown Beirut, in order to draw an outline of the objectives of this process, its approach and its analytical framework. Finally, the paper summarizes the most significant findings and highlight the importance of funding resources, institutional management and public / private partnerships to achieve successful and sustainable results.
