Finally objectives are operational terms for broader aims and goals.
They are the most specific term regarding one field of action and
usually measurable and quantitative. Objectives can help to control /
monitor / evaluate the progress of the regeneration process. The
importance of objectives for evaluation and monitoring is described in
Chapter II. Examples for operational objectives
Number of new households in an area; Number of modernised flats;
Balance of vacancies and fluctuation; Change of employment figures;
Dynamics of small local businesses or migration on a wider scale etc.
If we look at the definitions above we can easily state a ranking or
hierarchy of visions, aims and objectives regarding urban regeneration.
All levels have their influence on partnership building and on the
implementation of the regeneration process. And at all levels different
stakeholders and partners are involved.

Global / city-wide visions
Specific area-related aims
Operational objectives / performance indicators
(Clear set of milestones and deliverables)

Looking at the variety of the aims in the ENTRUST partners' urban
regeneration projects and the relevant practical experience, the cities
can be compound into three groups which have clear areas of predominant
priorities:
- STIMULATION OF LOCAL ECONOMIES (Berlin, Dublin)
- SOCIAL COHESION AND BETTER HOUSING / LIVING CONDITIONS (Copenhagen,
Glasgow, Hamburg)
- REHABILITATION OF URBAN FABRIC AND AMENDMENT OF HOUSING STOCK
(Lisbon, Valletta, Vilnius)
In the following Chapter we take a closer look at the
definition-process of aims, at the relation of aims at different
spatial and political levels, at conflicting aims and hidden aims.
Following these findings regarding the programming we are looking at
instruments and strategies to adjust aims and to monitor and evaluate
the process during the implementation phase.
