Restructuring for a future opportunity
The city of Lieksa has not been subject to a sudden restructuring. Instead, the city of Lieksa has been undergoing so-called creeping restructuring for decades. A structural transformation into a future opportunity is needed in order to find action descriptions capable of turning this continuous negative process into a positive one.  The aim is also to use modified functional descriptions in addition to Lieksa in other similar locations. The project is divided into three areas; acceleration of restructuring, acceleration of positive restructuring and ownership of restructuring. In connection with the acceleration of structural change, threat/possibility analyses of key industries will be carried out, on the basis of which contingency plans will be drawn up. Similar analyses and policy proposals will also be carried out in the public sector. From the point of view of positive structural change, contingency plans for the implementation of positive projects of Community relevance will be drawn up on the basis of the analyses. This will also draw on the content of accelerated restructuring and ownership restructuring. From the perspective of proprietary restructuring, a contingency plan will be drawn up to strengthen the various levels of international ownership in the Community.
