Demolish the old and build something new: that is the usual approach to urban regeneration. As a consequence, important architectural and urban design features are lost and social structures undermined. There are other options as well. Over the past fifteen years, the Van Schagen architectural firm has developed a unique approach to renovation and renewal, which has come to be known as the 'Van Schagen method'. The book offers a detailed analysis of the firm’s approach.
