BERI - Brownfield European Regeneration Initiative

As part of the final implementation stage the BERI partners identified areas of Brownfield regeneration that they would like to learn more about with the aid of more experienced partners. The process was based on shared learning and operated as a series of seminars and workshops held at different partner locations. The seminars and workshops centred on key Brownfield regeneration issues that have been identified from the BERI project:

• Public Realm
  
• Public Involvement
• Planning
• Environment
• Economics
• Heritage

The seminars were a one day event. The aim of the seminars was to create a shared learning process that enabled partners to learn from the expertise of more adept partners in specifically defined Brownfield regeneration issues. The host of these seminars was the partner who wanted to gain more in depth knowledge with the visiting partner acting as the expert facilitator. The content for the seminars was theoretical based and on a broad context.

The workshops were a two day event to allow more applicable content examined in the seminars to be explored thoroughly and in a practical manner. Ideally the hosting partner applied the lessons learned in the seminar to a site they have previously identified. The results from the workshops can be applied in a valuable way to any future redevelopment of the identified Brownfield site.
