URBACT Good Practices

How a city has decided to spot existing public spaces and improve them in the scope of housing, recreation, leisure and social cohesion.

Boosting environmental responsibility through gaming and rewarding

An innovative support scheme for Cultural and Creative Industries

Citizens decide on projects designed for and by them.

Enhance diversity by deconstructing stereotypes and prejudices about immigrants

A community theatre for reviving shrinking cities 

Appointing community representatives amongst the residents of the target area Edgbaston Reservoir, to become permanent ambassadors, communicating with the City Council, and understanding their challenges – enabling Birmingham in this way to rebuild trust
