    Creating temporary space for experimentation about future activities

    The case study on Hamburg (Germany) is one of the concrete results of the URBACT workstream ‘Sustainable regeneration in urban areas’, after collection of data, a study visit, and interviews with local stakeholders. It explores environmental measures for regenerating urban areas the city put in place, achievements and challenges, success factors, and conditions for transfer to other cities. The first part of the case study summarises the key points of the practice, while the second part (analytical template) provides more details for those interested in transferring the practice to their local context.

This milestone, officially confirmed on December 19, 2024, demonstrates that reversing depopulation trends is not just a distant dream but an achievable reality.
