Recover and valorization of maritime, military and industrial heritage of the Atlantic Area coast

Programme 2014 - 2020 INTERREG VB Atlantic Area

Date of latest update: 2023-03-02

Description

Description (EN):

One of the main features of the Atlantic Area is its maritime dimension, which gives this territorial area a strong cultural identity. The proximity to the sea has led to a common development pattern, both economic and urban in coastal cities, closely linked to the sea and the maritime industry, and even military settlements, by the geostrategic position of many of these cities. The crisis of industrial activity linked to the sea and the reduction of military presence have led to the degradation of many of these facilities, which have fallen into disuse and generated in their surroundings an urban landscape of environmental and heritage degeneration. The MMIAH project is committed to the value enhancement of the urban coastal edge of the Atlantic Area through the recovery of disused asset associated with the military, maritime and industrial heritage of coastal cities, facilitating their social use and generating value added activities around them in order to promote cultural tourism as a factor of economic sustainability. This project specific goals are: - Recover the historical memory of Atlantic cities, their growth and development linked to its maritime, industrial and military heritage; - Recover these heritage sites which have been abandoned for public use; - Establish a joint model of sustainable management and use planning of the mentioned heritage translatable to other cities of the Atlantic Area; - Promote the participation of civil society in the "ownership" of the new uses of maritime, military and industrial heritage; - Develop cultural tourism through historical reenactment, promoting the Atlantic identity around these abandoned assets in the coastal edge; - Encourage the economic sustainability of these spaces including them as an essential part of the cultural and tourism offer of the cities.

Achievements (EN):

One of the main features of the Atlantic Area is its maritime dimension, which gives this territorial area a strong cultural identity. The proximity to the sea has led to an economic and urban development pattern in coastal cities, closely linked to the sea, the maritime industry, and military settlements, by the geostrategic position of many of these cities. The crisis of the industrial activity linked to the sea and the reduction of military presence have led to the degradation of many of these facilities, which have fallen into disuse and generated in their surroundings an urban landscape of environmental and heritage degeneration. The MMIAH project committed to the value enhancement of the urban coastal edge of the Atlantic Area through the recovery and rehabilitation of abandoned military or industrial heritage sites relating to the sea for tourism and the benefit of local communities. Besides promoting the participation of civil society in the “ownership” of the new uses of maritime, military and industrial heritage, MMIAH has also developed cultural tourism through historical reenactment, promoting the identity around these abandoned assets including them as an essential part of the cultural and tourism offer of the cities. One of the main results of this project was the delivery of a White Paper presenting best practices to inform heritage regeneration within the European region and beyond for the development, interpretation, and presentation of these heritage sites. It included the existing challenges and opportunities, examining the interrelationship between the work packages and their effectiveness in delivering the project outcomes, as well as drawing final recommendations and conclusions. The project focussed therefore on the recovery of the historical memory of Atlantic cities and established a joint model of sustainable management that can be transferable to other Atlantic cities. "Historically the buildings need to be preserved, but it needs to be done in a way that they can still be used. That is what the MMIAH project pursues”. Clare Philips Visitor Services Manager at Plymouth City Council.
