OBJECTIVE
Our main objective in
this project is to elaborate way of thinking and selection of approaches enabling deprived
local communities in decaying urban areas to undertake: conceive, design and implement
– urban neighbourhood revitalisation programmes based on sustainable local effort.
Such thinking may be built on two
preconditions:
- Planning of the revitalisation
programme has to be based on integrated approach to planning, employing transdiciplinary,
cross sectoral projects and measures, oriented to holistic process and overall result.
- As many stakeholders as possible have
to be involved in a dialogue on the planning of urban neighbourhood revitalisation to
share a common approach as early as possible.

METHOD
We intend to work on these issues by
exchanging experience while it emerges. Each project area will of course work on their own
project, but most of the meetings, workshops and theme sessions devoted to introduction
and opening discussion on one or another issue, and discussions will be held together for
all three areas. Furthermore, a reference group comprising representatives of other
countries in the Baltic Sea area: Estonia, Latvia, and Poland will join the working
process as observers and contributors without a specific pilot project.
The project work will follow a
simple action thread:
and will last until the end of year
2000.

DELIVERABLESIn result of combined experience of the pilot projects in participating areas a
set of guidelines - the "cookbook" - will be elaborated to assemble and explain
approaches and instruments.
Furthermore, education tools will be
elaborated (and tried in theme sessions) to enable all stakeholders in the revitalisation
process better contribute to the planning and implementation of the neighbourhood
revitalisation programmes.
The co-operation will be further
developed through trans-national network of experience exchange established in this
project.
