 Incorporation of cultural heritage into revitalisation often provides an excellent opportunity to formulate or present a new vision for the site. Refurbishing historic buildings and areas not only offers potential economic benefits but can also increase community ownership as they celebrate the unique culture of the place and a degree of continuity. Preservation of old industrial buildings has a strong social dimension – peoples’ memories and sense of identity. Valuable historic buildings should be retained/restored and be brought back into productive use. Also other elements with heritage value should be assessed, retained and integrated in the plans, as they provide links to the history of the site.
Two BERI partners were identified as facilitators for the Heritage seminars and workshops. Both Tallinn & Dublin have effectively incorporated elements of heritage in their Brownfield sites as part of the BERI project. Using their sites as key examples they shared their knowledge with partners who have had less experience of dealing with heritage.
SeminarsRostock and Stockholm identified that they would like to learn more about incorporating heritage into the planning process of Brownfield regeneration. Rostock was appointed Tallinn as their facilitator and Stockholm hosted Dublin as their facilitator. Rostock – 11 July 2007 presentations & report Stockholm – 28 September 2007 presentations & report
