Van Meer, A. Van Kempen, R. Contributor Wassenberg, F. Faculty OTB Research Institute Date 2010-12-10 Abstract Urban change spans all ages. However, some neighbourhoods do not adapt gradually to changed circumstances, but lapse into deprivation. Urban policies are necessary in these areas to revitalise them. Cities across Europe have deprived areas, and urban renewal policies are carried out in all of them. These approaches are made up of several measures and strategies, including the physical improvement of buildings (often dwellings) and the environment. This report presents an overview of 50 (mainly) successful urban renewal projects in the EU member states. We focus on physical measures and strategies, largely leaving aside economic, social and other measures.
