The Hive in The Cliff: an innovative case study for culturally led, cross- sector approaches to sustainable urban regeneration by Sarie Mairs Slee, Samantha Bowker, Andy Hamilton and Theresa Wilkie Abstract There is long-standing recognition of the role cultural and creative industries play in regional development1. Creative and cultural activities contribute to development in regeneration, social inclusion, education, vocational training, social entrepreneurship, celebration of cultural diversity, and the promotion of better physical and mental health. The role of culture in sustainable socio-economical development is being explored in The Hive in The Cliff, which aims to initiate social and economic renewal in East Salford in the development of a culturally led regeneration and conservation programme through interdisciplinary research and cross-sector partnership2.
