REuse of vacant spaces as driving Force for Innovation on Local Level

Programme 2014 - 2020 URBACT III

Date of latest update: 2023-03-31

Description

Description (EN):

REFILL wants to upscale and diffuse the urban practice of temporary use of vacant buildings and land and intensify the temporary experiences by investigating the various action beyond temporality. As such, the REFILL network’s objectives is to go one step beyond what has been achieved previously and to contribute to a wider quest for new governance models to support temporary use:1) Exchange and evaluation of local supporting instruments: to upscale and distribute temporary use through good practices, to explore on new challenges, and to enhance the participation and co-creation of policies in relation to this topic; 2) Ensure long lasting effects of temporality: to enable continuous development of temporary use initiatives, to deal with experimental development in relation to vacant plots and their permanent destination, and to capture the dynamics created around temporary use; and, 3) Build a more flexible, collaborative public administration: to engage with the dynamic forces in the urban society, the search for more integrated and horizontal working procedures, to rethink the roles of civil servants, to adapt legal frameworks, to enhance the role of politicians in this policy shift and to promote social innovation in these changes.

Achievements (EN):

Reuse of vacant spaces as a driving force for innovation at the local level: In many European cities one of the positive side effects of the financial-economic crisis is the growth of innovative forms of solidarity and commitment at local level. This Action Planning network pioneered, in terms of bottom-up civic initiatives, by co-creating solutions for social challenges in an urban context. Cities are often perceived as a laboratory and governments are no longer the only actor to solve complex challenges faced in cities. Therefore, temporary use is a powerful tool to make our cities "future fit". Since the concept of temporary use is interacting with many other urban dynamics it creates the right environment for social innovation to develop by: exchanging and evaluating of local supporting instruments; ensuring long lasting effects of temporality; building a more flexible and collaborative public administration.
