Urban development best practices

The Spikeri Block, a former soviet military base located in the historic centre of Riga, has been lain derelict for more than 10 years and is a socio-economic burden for the city administration. Now, as a result of a number of interventions and a successful public-private partnership, it has turned the corner. It is becoming an important player in the city’s cultural scene, and is attracting an increasing number of Riga’s inhabitants and visitors.
