Alt/Bau

Urban Lab is partner of The ALT/BAU Transfer Network, financed by the URBACT III program, that focuses on alternative strategies in central and historic districts of European cities to activate unused and decaying housing stock. Based on the experiences from Chemnitz’s URBACT Good Practice “Housing Agency for Shrinking Cities” (Agentur StadtWohnen Chemnitz), the network transfers experiences that proved successful to proactively connect administrations, owners, investors and users to initiate sustainable and resource saving development. Thus, the cities will be ready to give unused residential buildings and flats a new chance, using Chemnitz’s URBACT Good Practice.
Urban Lab is working to share with local stakeholders and to transfer the Chemitz’s Good Practice to Turin context.
