Now we are getting closer to the ground and to the process of
regeneration itself. Aims and goals are more qualitative terms, more
specific and more down to the micro-level (compared to the city-wide
visions at the meta-level). Very often they are area-related. But aims
and goals can differ in their time-frame and their specific precision
and they are depending on the available resources. They are used to
derive performance indicators (see objectives below). This shows that
aims are a lot more “realistic” than visions and they have a stronger
focus on the specific area.
Aims can be distinguished in overall aims and thematic aims and they
name the envisaged solutions to the concrete problems. We have to
distinguish between common or shared aims and individual or
stakeholder-particular aims. Quite often aims already carry compromises
and consensus.
The relevance of aims for the regeneration process, the definition of
aims and the issues of conflicting and hidden aims are analysed in
detail in Chapter II.
Examples for area-related aims and goals of the ENTRUST partners
Hamburrg. Karolinenviertel |
|
'Berlin wants to improve the competitiveness of small and medium-size
enterprises';
‘Copenhagen is aiming to create a diversity in population
and housing structure';
‘Glasgow is looking to develop the Gorbals as a
“well functioning” community that offers a range of housing, employment
and learning opportunities';
‘Hamburg wants to improve the housing
quality, safeguard affordable rents and improve the open spaces in the Karolinenviertel'.
Lisbon, Malta and Vilnius are seeking to rehabilitate
parts of their historic centres and to make them more attractive for
tourists, also encouraging better living conditions for local
population, growth of local economies and an increase in the number of
residents.
Vilnius also attempts to consolidate local communities
through their involvement into the regeneration process. |
