Sustainable approach to cultural Heritage for the urban Areas Requalification in Europe

Programme 2014 - 2020 Interreg Europe

Date of latest update: 2025-08-23

Description

Description (EN):

The diversity of the cultural heritage assets, ranging from museums, to buildings to archives, to cultural itineraries and events, is a cornerstone in European identity and a catalyst for social inclusion. It also plays a specific role in achieving the Europe 2020 strategy goals for a smart, sustainable and inclusive growth, given its relevance not only in culture, but also in social and economic development, cohesion, education, tourism and innovation. However, pressure applied by visitors and residents means that heritage professionals, institutions and stakeholders face growing challenges to keep cultural assets and the territory around it protected, enhanced and, at the same time, accessible to all. SHARE aims at exchanging experiences in cultural heritage policies in urban settings, in order to identify best practices and innovative methods to develop a sustainable and smart approach to its management and use. The project will target ways in which smart cities projects can be effectively improved by including a smart and sustainable agenda for cultural assets in urban centers. The exchange of experience method will be based on a review of existing policy tools, European policy outlines and best practices and will include specific researches to be carried out in each partner’s area. The result of the interregional exchange process, lasting 24 months during Phase 1 of the project, will be conveyed in 6 Action Plans, that will indicate ways to successfully transfer of SHARE’s outputs into mainstream policies, with particular reference to 4 ERDF funds. The partners represent a variety of public bodies, agencies and academic centers coming from 7 Countries across Europe dealing with cultural heritage and smart cities policies and will commit to effectively share results of the project with local stakeholders groups and the MAs and institutions implementing local policies, and to ensure monitoring of the Action Plans over the 2-years period Phase 2 of the project.

Expected Results (EN):

European urban areas host the majority of the continent’s cultural heritage and they are the sites where the most Europeans live, but the urban dimension is changing day by day. City centres, and especially small and medium towns, suffer phenomena of social desertification. On the opposite larger towns and cities represent a laboratory of innovation, and test beds of solutions in the relation between the citizen and the urban environment. In this context, the conservation and the sustainable valorization of the cultural heritage represent a key factor to trigger future models of urban development. The challenge of SHARE project is to improve the local policy instruments addressing the urban dimension and the cultural heritage and make them more effective, powerful and close to the needs of European cities. SHARE Project is submitted under Axis 4 (SO6), Investment Priority 6(c) objective 4.1. The overall objective is to contribute to the urban environment protection, pointing at protecting, promoting and developing the urban cultural heritage through the improvement of implementation of regional development policies and programmes. More specifically, SHARE project aims to: 1. Improve the definition and the application of the policy instruments addressing the urban dimension and its cultural heritage, pressing them towards a better understanding of the complexity of the urban phenomena and a stronger use of the innovative technologies; 2. Keep the concepts of sustainability and participatory processes at the centre of urban policies; 3. Improve the destinations of public funds and their management; 4. Improve the vision of cities and towns and their historical heritage not only as a factor of tourism attraction, but also as a cultural and identity attractor for the citizens themselves, who live there. This can be accomplished through innovative approaches to the concepts of liveability and urban environment.

Expected Outputs (EN):

The description of the outputs results has to start from the objectives of SHARE project (section C3). The main outputs of SHARE project related with the overall objectives are fundamentally the production of the 6 Action Plans, necessary to improve the local policy instruments addressing the urban dimension and the cultural heritage. The Action Plans will have the result to modify and improve the current policy instrument in the direction of the sustainable development of urban areas and their heritage and the valorisation of the innovative solutions in the relation citizen-city offered by the newest ICTs, the SMART cities. The Action Plans will have also the result to improve the effective destination and the management of public funds (structural funds mainly, but also other public initiatives), made them closer to the effective needs of beneficiaries, as well as to more effective for what regards their impact. If the final output (the Action Plan) represent obviously the concrete output, it is to consider a valuable result also the participatory process involving citizens and stakeholders that leads to the production of the output itself. Through the participatory actions foreseen in the project, the themes of the urban sustainable development and the improvement of the related policy instruments will be put under the attention of a large number of people and organisations. The public debate on the themes dealt with project will be surely enriched. The last overall result expected by the project is to improve the relation between the local inhabitant and its town and the historical and identity value. In this sense, SHARE project will produce effects on the accessibility of towns, their communication networks, the transfer of innovation and the sustainable valorisation of the urban environment and its cultural heritage to the advantage not only visitors, but also to the people who live in urban areas. More specifically it is expected to involve around 48 public and private bodies within the Stakeholder Groups and more than 6.000 citizens (including entrepreneurs, public officers, representatives of civil society) in the participatory actions along the project (i.e. opinion polls, focus groups). 6 launch events of the project at local level on 1st semester, 6 events of public presentation of Action Plans on 4th semester and one High Level Political Dissemination Event on 7th semester will count at least around 700 people. The activity on territories (restricted and one-on-one meetings) will involve further stakeholders to project, at least 36 in total. The communication activities will enlarge the awareness of project to further 12.000 people. The dissemination and capitalisation activities, mainly implemented through partner’s networks, will reach at least 200 international private and public operators active of sustainable development, Cultural and Creative Industry, urban regeneration, ICT applications, tourism industry.
