Spaces

The theme Spaces is approached in the project from different perspectives and was seen as having multifaceted utility: (a) offering office space at lower cost, (b) clustering tool for bringing various actors into common space, (c) an environment buzzing with creative energy that helps to inspire experimentation and innovation, (d) tool for regeneration of often socially disadvantaged areas and/or derelict industrial sites. The central topics of interest under this theme were the policies and strategies which drive for recycling of various derelict or unused sites, also activities linking to urban planning and social inclusion, public-private-partnership opportunities in development and maintainance of creative city districts, etc.
