ENTRUST - Empowering Neighbourhoods Through Recourse
of Urban Synergies with Trades
Across Europe, cities face the challenge of deprived mixed
function neighbourhoods in recession, social problems of
disadvantaged residents intertwining with the economic difficulties
of declining businesses.
The ENTRUST thematic network is financed by The Fifth Framework
Programme for the European Union's research, technological
development and demonstration. The project commenced 1 February
2002 and will last 26 months.
ENTRUST brings together researchers and end users from
Berlin, Dublin, Copenhagen, Glasgow, Hamburg, Lisbon and
Vilnius (Malta submitting an application under NAS call).
These cities together provide ample basis for the collection
of a critical mass of emerging innovative experience.
The subject for co-operation was defined through a survey
of international experience which helped to carefully select
members according to their experience and capacity, forming
a consortium of institutional variety and diversified expertise
to answer the above challenge of substantive regional, European
and global significance.
The objective is to produce explicit guidance to various
stakeholders how to form mixed public-private partnerships
working on aims as above. Such partnerships are instrumental
in regenerating deprived mixed function neighbourhoods,
reversing decline and moving towards sustainability through
decentralised empowerment, increasing competitiveness, improving
quality of life and enhancing cultural identity.
