Working Group 8.1 - Urban Regeneration

The working group started its work after the Melbourne Congress in 1994. It
deals with inner-city problems and regeneration of established urban areas. The
aim of the group is to observe the different projects on a 12-years time to
examine the projects in such a way to determine whether the methods or
instruments used present are successful and applicable way for other projects in
other countries.

Working Group 8.2 - PPP - Public Private Partnership
Policy Issues
In the last years PPP has become more and more important in the planning and
development of projects in city-areas and land-projects. The aim is to combine
the strength of the instruments of the public-part and the private part/money
that comes from the private partners.
Commission 8 has already paid a lot of attention to this topic in the last 4
years. Many papers were about this topic. Spoken is e.g. about PPP-project in
Germany and the Netherlands. Also has been spoken about instruments as the
Neighbourhood-Development-Corporation in Rotterdam and the NC-Enschede, as
instruments to help declined areas.
The commission will:
- collect ideas and build up a network for the exchange of ideas,
- work closely with other commissions on this topic,
- try to organise an workshop on this topic or will co-operate in workshops
held on this topic,
- form and agree a collaborative working group including professionals and
academics.
