As we have shown, the projects which result out of an integrated
regeneration process would probably not have been developed without a)
additional funding and b) the discursive realm provided by the local
offices in which projects can be discussed and defined. Projects like
the ones discussed will not be developed in the future when this kind of
space is not available.
The sustainability of the projects depends on their character
(physical, consumptive) and on the funding possibilities. This is
obvious. But the Schanzenkieker project and the training examples from
Berlin show that it is possible to create new markets. This is the main
element of the integrated approaches and the kind of innovation which
should be supported in the future.
It might be interesting to look at single projects and their
transferability, like e.g. the green job house, but none of them would
exist without a supportive and creative environment - comparable in its
structure to an innovation system - which allows for collaborative
project development. It is essential that this system exists at the
start, but it is as important that some sort of support system is
available later on, so that positive evaluation results can lead to new
arrangements and follow-up projects. |
