Uheshan Uruthiran
This project explores urban green spaces and town centres across the northwestern UK, reflecting broader themes of regeneration and community use. Growing up in a ‘new town’ and witnessing local regeneration efforts firsthand sparked my interest in how other towns—especially those affected by austerity, underfunding, and post-pandemic decline—navigate similar challenges. The work critically engages with government initiatives like the “levelling up” agenda, examining the gap between political promises and lived realities. It focuses not only on visible neglect or decline, but also on resilience, adaptation, and everyday beauty found in overlooked places. By documenting these environments, the project seeks to offer a nuanced view of spaces that continue to serve, shape, and reflect the communities within them.
