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. Case study
