You may have noticed the opening of the Hepworth, Wakefield, last month...yet another Culture-led Urban regeneration project. These projects seem to be consistently appearing lately....and whilst there is some debate about whether these projects do, in fact, regenerate an area in the ways that the planners and designers suggest (and hope) - in the sense that economic regeneration is not necessarily synchronic with social regeneration (at least not for 'everyone' I suppose...and that's the point!)...they do open up an evolving landscape of opportunities and possibilities.
However, at the same time as these spectular events are happening in one part of Wakefield, the possible closure of the heritage/education museum at Clarke Hall remains a possibility....I wondered what you thought about this 'in with the new'......'out with the old' dynamic?...seems curious?
