Heritage as Urban regeneration

Programme 2014 - 2020 URBACT III

Description

Description (EN):

KAIRÓS intends to represent a moment of change, from the degraded and hopeless to the regeneration and the vision of the future. It will enhance the cultural heritage of historical cities in decay developing strategies of European small and medium cities for economic and social cohesion and inclusion.KAIRÓS fosters the transnational exchange of experiences in order to design an innovative methodology of urban planning, helping cities to deal with the presence of degraded cultural areas.

Achievements (EN):

KAIRÓS was designed with a twofold aim. Internationally, to produce new knowledge, with the ambition to move the state of the art forward with regard to heritage-led urban development and regeneration. Locally, to have an impact, by driving relevant action planning while fostering the participatory approach. It has meant a conceptualisation effort, on maximizing the role of cultural heritage as a driver for urban development and urban regeneration; and this is largely about taking full advantage of two major changes that are impacting the heritage field over the past years. First major change is a change of scale, as the spotlight is not so focused now on the single building and the monumental artefact, but also on the urban fabric. It has led to a number of emerging concepts, such as historical urban landscape, urban heritage and heritage city. The second and most importantly is a change of purpose, meaning that valorisation matters as much as preservation nowadays. Valorisation means giving cultural heritage a new life or enhancing it, in terms of use and function. Thus, rather than a stock of the past, heritage is now addressed as a history of transitions —living memory— therefore also valuable to make the contemporary city. Ultimately, both changes have led to a change of method. That is, as a result of the above, heritage is increasingly addressed at the crossroads of several fields —e.g. culture, urban planning, tourism, society and wellbeing, economic development. Consequently, an integrated approach is needed more than ever to tackle the multi-faceted nature of heritage valorisation. All these changes are converging on the idea of heritage-driven urban development and regeneration. Upon these assumptions, seven medium-sized cities —Mula [Spain], Šibenik [Croatia], Ukmergé [Lithuania], Cesena [Italy], Heraklion [Greece], Belene [Bulgaria] and Malbork [Poland]— promoted KAIRÓS as an URBACT Action Planning Network. The ambition was to build up and test the aforementioned integrated approach by assembling five key dimensions —Space, Economy, Attractiveness, Social Cohesion and Governance— in order to fully exploit the potential of heritage as a driver for sustainable urban development.
