Date of latest update: 2021-04-06

Description

Description (EN):

MP4 focuses on innovative approaches for planning and designing, maintaining and using public places. The project aim is to demonstrate how open space improvements offer positive socio-economic benefits, and how the benefits offered to key communities can be maintained in the long run (‘place-keeping’). In cooperation with key EU policymakers and networks, the project activities illustrate support for greater interaction between all those involved in the open space management process. The project will create and promote model agreements for partnerships and social enterprises and implement 8 urban regeneration projects. As an end result the project will develop an EU-level Agenda for place-keeping and mainstream best practice across the North Sea Region.
