Historic city centres are labs for regeneration
ROCK: Regeneration and Optimisation of Cultural heritage in creative and Knowledge cities, brought together 32 partners from 13 countries. The focus was to support historic city centres to become labs that demonstrated the role for cultural heritage as a unique and powerful engine of regeneration, sustainable development, and economic growth for the whole city. We tested different technology interventions to find effective approaches that can be replicated and scaled.
Which cities?
We incubated activity in three ‘replicator cities’: Bologna (Italy), Lisbon (Portugal), and Skopje (Macedonia) based on the learning from successful heritage-led regeneration projects in seven ‘role model’ cities: Athens (Greece), Cluj-Napoca (Romania), Eindhoven (Netherlands), Liverpool (UK), Turin (Italy) and Vilnius (Lithuania).
