Historic city centres are labs for regeneration
ROCK: Regeneration and Optimisation of Cultural heritage in creative and Knowledge cities, brings together 32 partners from 13 countries. Our focus is to support historic city centres to become labs that demonstrate the role for cultural heritage as a unique and powerful engine of regeneration, sustainable development, and economic growth for the whole city. We will test different technology interventions to find effective approaches that can be replicated and scaled.
Which cities?
We will incubate 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).
Our role
As part of ROCK, Julie’s Bicycle is working on specific policy initiatives at the intersection between environmental sustainability and cultural heritage in Bologna, Lisbon, and Skopje.
