| Sumario: | Historic city centers usually include historic buildings and sites. As the size and the population of the cities increase, the price of land and real estates in the cities and, respectively, in the downtowns increases. This results in more demand for commercial buildings in city downtowns. In cities with historical and heritage urban areas, the mentioned demand may result in the demolition of heritage historical urban to be substituted by new modern buildings. A solution to this problem is constructing new city downtowns in unused, secluded, or abandoned lands or areas as regeneration megaprojects, which has been implemented in many cities worldwide during the last three centuries. But this solution also faces different challenges and needs specific arrangements. By reviewing lessons learned from some of the worldwide urban regeneration projects, this paper discusses the proposed arrangements to increase the chance of success in the mentioned megaprojects and summarizes them in three main categories as, proper planning and execution, proper institutional arrangements, and public-private cooperation. |
