Networks

Discover the URBACT Networks, their cities, their plans,  and recommendations. An URBACT network brings together EU cities willing to exchange ideas and produce integrated local policies with the help of their peers, local stakeholders and URBACT experts. Cities can join three types of URBACT Networks, Action Planning, Transfer and the Innovation Transfer Mechanism, following calls for proposals.

  • 2nd Chance

    The challenge of this Action Planning network is the activation of vacant buildings and building complexes for a sustainable urban development by self-organised groups. In many European cities smaller and larger derelict sites, underused premises, so called “voids” can be found in or near the city centre. These sites often have a negative impact on their surroundings, nevertheless they present a great opportunity: they can be used to complete a compact settlement structure, to provide space for needed functions in the city.

  • Bring Up

    Please note that this project ended after the Development Phase.Brownfield problems have been one of the major concerns of European policies since the 80s in the regions of industrial tradition accelerated by the integration of the new central European member states. Nevertheless as indicator of the ongoing restructuration of the European economy, the rate of brownfields remains on a high level and the current economic and financial crisis will led to considerable new problems including brownfields from commerce, housing and tourist sector. In particular, significant impacts are seen in the remaining high often still increasing rate of urban brownfields. The financial crisis has fundamentally changed the environment for private and public redevelopment strategies.
