REVITALISING AND PROMOTING TRADITIONAL MARKETS IN CENTRAL EUROPE
A majority of traditional markets are nowadays experiencing a serious decline, thus threatening a tradition that stretches back to medieval times and in some cases even beyond. Markets have indeed been the backbone of many towns and city centres as well as the oldest form of commercial exchange. They still can play an important role in the regeneration of city centres and promoting 'greener' lifestyles among citizens.

The basic idea of the project CENTRAL MARKETS is to help re-discovering the attractiveness of markets in eight target cities/regions by developing new and innovative market revitalisation strategies in order to reinforce and balance the relationship between city/regions and markets.
