PROJECT
FINISHED
The focus of the project is centred on complex urban projects to be developed in order to reuse areas in which economic and productive functions have become obsolete. The aim is to develop new urban regeneration managment (hereafter URM) methods and tools to revitalise these areas. CoUrbIT, after having designed the most appropriate managerial model, will test it by applying it to pilot areas selected among the Partners. CoUrbIT managerial model for regeneration projects will become a reference model for all CADSES space public administrations for the management of complex urban investments. It will assure efficiency, effectiveness, speed of administrative procedure and coherence to EU legislative framework, which are the necessary condiditions to be attractive to investors and private capital. CoUrbIT Public Administrations Partners will be trained to apply the model to pilot areas and they will be the trainers for CADSES Space through e-learning technologies. Expected Results: The expected outcome of CoUrbiT is, among others, the development of a benchmarking network for urban regeneration procedures and models used by partner countries up to now. A high level of homogeneity and strong co-ordination of the activities done by each partner is the aim. The project creates an efficient and effective model of urban regeneration that is compatible with EU directives. This regeneration model is applied to selected pilot areas and will be adapted to their specific requirements and patterns. It will be revised on the basis of monitoring results. Dissemination actions of the project’s results include international workshops, a website and a toolbox of models (feasibility studies, public-private agreements, business plans) which allows public administrations, investors, stockholders and stakeholders to get to know and understand the CoUrbIT model. The public administrations partners of CoUrbiT will be trained to apply the model to pilot areas. It will then be possible to transfer the model to other regions of CADSES via e-learning technologies.
