still influence urban regeneration and gave causes for focusing on planning that can better achieve sustainable development (Greenwood Newman,2010). Using the same case,the Thames Gateway regeneration project,Brownill and Carpenter(2009)probed the relationship between an increasing emphasis on the integration of social,economic,democratic and environmental objectives within planning practice and the emergence of new forms of networked governance. Barber and Pareja Eastaway(2010)studied how planners and policy-makers in Birmingham(UK)and Barcelona(Spain)have tackled challenges in the creation of new urban districts.By examining this issue,they found that the institutional context within which leaders operate and exercise their roles in the regeneration process,as well as the prevailing planning culture,explained the different experiences in these two cities Stakeholders in the private sector also contribute to the regeneration process.In most cases,private sector stakeholders are developers who invest in and build renewal projects and they greatly influence landscape and urban space,the supply and design of domestic space,and in turn,residents'lives(Kriese Scholz, 2011).Additionally,the role of the private sector in property investment and financing is identified although their negative impacts are also discussed.In order to shed light on the specific role and responsibility of housing builders and investors in achieving sustainable urban regeneration,the evolution of sustainability positioning in residential property marketing was explored by Kriese and Scholz(2011).Bryson and Lombardi(2009)probed the activities of two UK-based property development companies that have integrated sustainability into their business models as a source of competitive advantage in response to an evolving sustainability agenda. As end users of a renewal community,the residents are the ultimate stakeholders. Whether an urban renewal community is sustainable or not influences their daily life,while their behaviour and their preferences simultaneously have a significant impact on the decision-making of government and the private sector.Due to the importance of these stakeholders,some scholars have probed into this issue in various contexts.By exploring city centre residential redevelopments in the UK cities of Bristol and Swansea,Bromley et al.(2005)found the contribution of residents to sustainable urban regeneration.These residents are frequent shoppers,helping to sustain the local daytime economy;they walk to city centre attractions,and also to their places of work,showing reduced reliance on cars.
