Case Studies   The Danish Neighbourhood Regeneration Programme. Kvarterløft in Copenhagen

The content of the annual re-negotiations

Every year each regeneration project has to produce a ‘status report’ in which the project sums up which problems have arisen and which successes the specific regeneration projects has reached. Every year the project has to put up a success criteria for the following year.

The project afterwards attends meetings with representatives from both the state regeneration programme and the municipality. This is a meeting in which the problems and the success are being discussed. The discussion with the state is only about the projects where the state is financially involved or in which the municipality has specific agreements with the state.

In the beginning of the regeneration projects there were a lot more debating than in the meetings towards the end of the regeneration projects while the projects in the beginning are to define their aims of regeneration more specific. Through out the regeneration project the meetings tend to be more a revision where comments and questions can be made on the different specific projects within the programme – ’trouble shooting’.

In the annual meetings different ministries and departments can be involved regarding specific projects in their specific field. The former Ministry of Housing and Urban Affairs used to attend until it was closed down by the new government and now the National Agency for Enterprise and Housing is participating in the annual meetings with the regeneration projects.
