Abstract: This paper examines the regeneration process of two entertainment zones in Canada, both of which involve business improvement areas (BIAs) within the local governing structure. The main objective is to analyse the arrangement of local governance and the corresponding influence on the regeneration strategy in each context. Resultantly, it is clear that local governance structure holds significant impact on project outcome, which in both cases has led to similar regeneration strategies with regard to place-making and economic revitalization. As a recommendation moving forward, the BIA model might be twinned with a sustainability assessment of the site in order to produce a more strategic approach to urban regeneration.
