H 1 "Wroclaw, Poland: Maximum leverage from limited resources"

2013

22p.

Urban development best practices

The Silesian capital of Wroclaw was extensively destroyed in the Second World War and after it, but it is becoming a thriving city. Just across the river from its mediaeval old town stands the district of Nadodrze, one of the most deprived urban areas in the city. Through the ERDF, Nadodrze has benefited from an integrated revitalisation programme. Public participation and local NGO involvement is a major feature of this programme, which represents one of the first attempts in Poland to launch a multi-stakeholder area-based process. This relatively modest €30-million programme has worked simultaneously on infrastructure, local economy and social issues.
