We think the Renew Newcastle model is really one of a kind because of the unique legal and financial structures they have instituted to enable buy-in from the government and development community while maintaining low-barriers to entry for the artisan. As Westbury says,

“In many respects on the surface Renew Newcastle looks like an arts and cultural project – and it is – but from my end it is really a series of mechanisms for changing access to and governance of space. We have changed how space behaves for creative people and they in turn have brought their creativity and innovation to the problem of bringing the city back to life.”
