URBAN AGENDA

Cities have to build on their own past to prepare the future. The specific attractiveness of a given city has to be seen in the context of a forward-looking scenario as an element of broader urban transition.

Make sure that the heritage and architectural value of historic buildings and public spaces is exploited together with the developmemnt and improvement of the urban scene, landscape and place, and where local residents identify themselves with the urban environment.
