Rebranding a place usually involves regeneration - making actual improvements to an area, e.g. new buildings and services. It also involves re-imaging – using marketing to improve the image and reputation of a place of a place. Rebranding is aimed at internal users (e.g. residents and employees) and external ‘customers’ (e.g. visitors and potential investors), helping to improve quality of life for residents, also attracting new residents, tourists and businesses. It also also normally used when a place is in decline.
