URBACT Good Practices

Combatting unemployment and labour shortages by public-private partnerships 

Predicting extreme precipitation for districts through sensor technology 

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

A clear vision and a participatory approach are more important than a masterplan for urban regeneration.

Converting underutilised spaces into sustainable, biodiverse areas for sports and wellbeing 

An innovative model to keep small, local markets alive and promote social cohesion

A charter to manage green spaces in a eco-friendly way

Agro-Urban Landscape to combat poverty and redevelop the urban environment

A collaborative city model that increases the participation of city residents, promotes their equal involvement and strengthens relations between the main stakeholders in urban regeneration processes.
