Our Mission

SURF: sharing experience : shaping practice

The Scottish Urban Regeneration Forum (SURF) is the independent regeneration and inclusion network for Scotland. Its main purpose is to inform improved regeneration policy and practice. It does so by:

  • Providing a neutral space for all sectors and players involved in Scottish urban regeneration to share their knowledge and experience
  • Stimulating challenging debate about community regeneration policy and practice
  • Maintaining a high status for community regeneration on Scotland’s political agenda
  • Providing relevant and constructive feedback to key policy makers

SURF operates from two basic principles:

  • Successful and sustainable regeneration is only achievable when all aspects of physical, social, economic and cultural regeneration are addressed in a holistic approach.
  • The people who are the intended beneficiaries of any regeneration effort must be meaningfully involved in the process if it is to be successful in planning, implementation and maintenance.

Information on SURF’s activites and how to get more involved is readily available on this site.
