vacant buildings

Several cities in Europe have vacant buildings in their historic centers as well as numerous neighborhoods in need of refurbishment. Such areas ofter represent the history and identity of a city, they need therefore to be preserved and brought back to life.
How can municipalities face such challenges? Many aspects need to be considered, just to mention a few: ownership of the buildings, identifying potential investors, the possibility to integrate alternative approaches such as temporary uses and social housing.
After over two years of exchange on these topics, the seven partners of the ALT/BAU Alternative Building Activation Units project share their solutions, methods and recommendations in a public capacity building webinar.
