Write to the future We like to send messages to the world. Messages for urban renewers. Because things can only get better! ReUrba is trying to help. Our method is not just a trick; it gets people thinking and helps to get the job done...
Lifestyles as policy instrument Policy these days is expected to be demand-driven. But how do you identify the wishes of local residents? 'The lifestyle approach' is ReUrba's answer to that question.
And it has indeed proven to be a useful instrument. That is also what ReUrba partners found when they practised with it in London.
'A genuine eye-opener.'
Saarbrücken: determined urban innovators The old mining city of Saarbrücken in Germany is not really doing well. A group of creative planners were determined to bring an end to the depopulation and impoverishment. The city has a good plan now but there is still no money. The story of determined and persistent urban renewers.
Cumbernauld New Town Formerly an award-winning example of Scottish architecture. But now it is in urgent need of renovation. The locals asked for the demolition of the complete town. Others want to save the buildings with architectural value. An emotional discussion about urban regeneration.
