Physical Regeneration of Urban Areas

closed

The PHYRE network adopted a cooperation model to establish a strong partnership from the outset. According to the network the prerequisites for effective cooperation are: Trust – built from previous working together or having a strong common interest Commitment – willingness to put forward competent experts on the selected subject Credentials – diversity of experience, scale and approach makes for an interesting exchange. PHYRE built their partnership around these prerequisites and noted the importance of the start up conference to allow partners to get to know each other, provide an opportunity for organisational issues to be resolved, create a platform for formal and informal deliberation, get a common understanding of the agenda and the expectations and obligations of each partner. At this first meeting the partners identified 3 thematic seminars as key moments of cooperation. These seminars would be preceded by a preparatory meeting and followed up in the following meeting to present the results. This focus on improving mechanisms for transnational co-operation has a clear added value: Seminars are based on better defined theme, the concrete benefits for the partners are visible and the partners are motivated to contribute and actively participate. The three seminars addressed the three sub themes: 1. Social and Mobility Policy within urban regeneration 2. Physical regeneration in housing areas; Cooperation and negotiation with owners; Innovative procedures in brownfield redevelopment 3. Economic aspects/unemployment within the field of urban regeneration
