The focus of coursework is a professional style report on one recent major regeneration project Black Cultural Archives, development of Raleigh Hall In describing and analysing the project you must include critical discussion of the following issues (you will need to deal with some in more/less detail than others): - how were the problems of the area defined and by whom and - how did project objectives relate to these? – how 'radical' or traditional was the initiative? – is it some kind of flagship project - was a 'target group' and/or ‘target area’ of project beneficiaries identified - the nature of the property interests involved - sources of funding and political support - was its scope local, regional or national or wider? - make specific recommendations for how the project could be improved. In describing and analysing the project you may include some of the following issues: - the approach of the solution i.e. any underlying assumptions or stated theories - perception of the project by different interests - what problems appeared during or after implementation - how did the project relate to the statutory planning system - was monitoring and evaluation 'built in' from the start or added later? - what criteria may/should be used for evaluation in the future? Please note that you are not expected to carry out an evaluation of the project, though you may discuss how the project is to be monitored and evaluated and suggest how evaluation might be improved, e.g. with better and more appropriate evaluation criteria.
