Regenerative City-Regions? REGENERATIVE CITY-REGIONS? a case study of Cardiff Capital Region and its future generations LORENA AXINTE Thesis submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in City and Regional Planning Cardiff University Sustainable Places Research Institute School of Geography and Planning March 2020 Acknowledgements Throughout this project, I have benefitted from the support, expertise and empathy of a great number of people. I am grateful to my three supervisors – Terry Marsden, Abid Mehmood and Dirk Roep, and my reviewer – Gillian Bristow, who gave me the freedom to explore and learn, and restored my confidence whenever I failed. I would also like to thank my research fellows from the SUSPLACE Marie Curie ITN for peer reviews, engaging discussions and unforgettable parties. Our children’s book team for the amazing learning journey that turned into my dearest project. Cátia Rebelo for always being there, and Omer Husain for the endless coffee, chocolate and dreams we’ve built together. Anke de Vrieze, Steve Goundrey and Ruth Leo for making the muddy administrative waters easier to navigate. Alex Franklin for being an inspiring researcher, in dialogue and action. Mark Lang for reading hundreds of pages and discussing ideas around Pontcanna’s cafés, and for allowing me to be part of his research. I have learned a great deal from him. Matthew Quinn and Usha Ladwa-Thomas from the Welsh Government for being such caring partners and helping to shape this project. The Future Generations Office for welcoming me in their team and for embodying the change I believe could lead to regenerative action. All the people, young and less young, the local organisations and councils who have so generously devoted time and knowledge for this research. My family, for always being near me in spite of the distance, and in particular my mum, who’s uncomplainingly listened to rants, over the phone, throughout these four years. Toto, for sleeping in my lap whenever we had the chance to write something together. Anca Mihăilescu, for always being enthusiastic about my next destination, and for meeting me there. Last and certainly not least, Bálint Halász for the feedback and the never-ending debates on growth and technological innovation, as well the unconditional patience and love that have kept me sane during this process. This project has received funding from the European Union’s Horizon 2020 research and innovation programme, under the project SUSPLACE “Sustainable Place- Shaping” – a Marie Sklodowska Curie Innovation Training Network (grant agreement No 674962). Summary City-regions have gained popularity among academics, politicians and policy-makers alike, promising a better scale to encompass the interconnections between places and people, formerly separated by administrative boundaries. Yet, city-regions are still underpinned by a narrow economic rationale which prioritises policies for economic growth, competitiveness and agglomeration, often disregarding larger problematics of equity, distribution and environmental issues. This is happening despite a long standing call from scholars who have been looking for more holistic ways to define, study and understand city-regions. The current project can be situated among the aforementioned efforts, aiming to portray city- regions as complex, nested ecosystems, where a variety of actors, initiatives and possibilities to shape the developmental agenda exist. To this end, the research has bridged between three different literature strands – progressive regionalism, collaborative governance and regenerative development – to create an integrated conceptual framework. This tripartite lens was applied on a single empirical case study, Cardiff Capital Region, which was analysed from its inception until June 2018. The case study’s legislative context led to a further conceptual refining, adding a focus on the role that future generations – today’s young people – could play in city-regional development. Employing mixed methods, the research engaged politicians, policy-makers, academics, practitioners, as well as university and college students, helping to shed light upon the city- region’s emergence, its evolution (both as process – the governance structure, and policy – choice of projects and investments), and the variety of narratives and stakeholders co-existing in the city-region. Besides, the research showed the effects that the funding model had on the format, actors and governance structure, as well as the windows of opportunity to redefine priorities towards a more progressive, collaborative and regenerative city-region.

Das ist natürlich der Fall – und doch auch nicht. Wie aber lautet der rote Faden? Der ist nicht immer ganz leicht. Denn wir wollen Sie keinesfalls zu eng an die Hand nehmen. Das mag damit zusammenhängen, daß Erwachsenenpädagogen manchmal meinen, sie könnten die Gesetze von di- daktischer Struktur und pädagogisch durchdachten Lernschritten aufheben, wenn sie „unter sich sind“.
