CIVITAS
The working group focused on identifying keys for success
in the planning, management and implementation of urban
renewal policies at a supra-local level, identifying how supralocal
policies can improve local action by offering support
(technical, organisational or financial) and removing
institutional obstacles that could prevent an optimum
development of urban renewal programmes.
With this aim, the working group tackled the exchange
of experiences between partners of different nature, functions
and territorial scopes, belonging to different member states.
The working group aimed to contribute to cohesion by
improving deprived urban areas through the identification of
the best way in which regional and other supra-local agencies
can contribute to optimize the collective action in planning
and management of urban renewal policies.
The group met 4 times including the final conference which
The CIVITAS working group set out to discuss and exchange was held in May 2007.
