ABSTRACT
For a couple of decades now revitalization of historic urban quarters has become popular throughout the world especially in many European cities. In some cases the positive transformation of these valuable places has not been achieved. However, there have been some success stories. The aim of this paper is to question the background of these differences and try to reach a proposal of a model for the determination of the most appropriate strategic approach for their revitalization. The method, which is employed in this paper, rests upon a thorough literature survey, which has conveyed an understanding of the revitalization rationale. The validity of the proposed model has been examined on many different examples of revitalization projects in European cities.
Notes
1. In its broadest sense, urban regeneration covers all activities designed to combat urban obsolescence and improve social and economic conditions, including development, redevelopment and improvement. In this article however, as per Tiesdell et al. Citation(1996) it will only be used in a more limited sense.
