Open Heritage: Community-Driven Adaptive Reuse in Europe. Best Practice

What measures could be taken to revitalize the maintenance and conservation of our built environment? A group of researchers from several European countries proposes expanding the definition of cultural heritage, restructuring planning processes, and rethinking who will be involved in this care.

We’re presenting a compendium documenting the findings of an EU-funded project which was carried out in six different countries. Open Heritage’s ambition is to organize, promote, and enable continued community-driven use of buildings. To this end the protagonists developed a kit of tools and tested them at six sites, each with distinct characteristics. The report – which delineates a path toward the renewal of the ways and means employed to sustain our built environment – is addressed to local stakeholders, design professionals, researchers, and policy-makers.
