Urban development best practices
To fight physical decay and social exclusion, the Moravian capital of Brno is successfully using existing EU funding possibilities to regenerate a residential area in the city centre. A special neighbourhood-based Integrated Urban Development Plan (IUDP) has been set up within the country’s national Integrated Operational Programme (2007-2013) to co-finance this exemplary housing intervention. Its activities cover not only the physical regeneration of public and private apartment buildings and their urban environment, but also projects to rehabilitate and expand existing social housing. Roma communities living in the area are the primary target group of additional ‘soft’ projects envisaging their better inclusion into society. The first completed projects are visible signs of hope in the area which is locally known as Brno’s ‘Bronx’. Case study
