4/5 July 2011: Open Days
The OPEN DAYs - 7FP MARIE CURIE IRSES “COMMERCIAL LOCAL URBAN DISTRICTS’ PROJECT (CLUDs) has the objective to present and promote the CLUDs project funded by the 7th Framework Programme of European Union Research within the specific IRSES Marie Curie Action. The implemen-tation of the project is based on a networking of four EU universities (Reggio Calabria, Salford, Uppsala, Rome) and two USA universities (Northeastern University of Boston, San Diego State University). The research project intends to explore the potential of a new tool for renovating degraded public spaces and improving the attractiveness and accessibility of deprived urban areas by focusing on the high potential of local commercial activities. The exploration is oriented to the implementation of an innovative tool, CLUDs, aimed at emphasizing the strategic role of small retails -handcraft and typical food- in reinforcing the sense of community, reducing transportation costs and contributing to the creation of an attractive urban environment, thus producing the increase of private investments. The expected result is to bring together an international and interdisciplinary research team with the purpose of forming an excellent centre of synergy in research and innovation transfer in the field of PPP applied to urban regeneration actions and policies. The OPEN DAYs is finalized to involve local stakeholders in the start up stage of the research in order to capture the innovation demand as guide line for the research development.
