Informed Cities Newsletter - Forget the wrecking ball: collective creativity for heritage reuse
Adaptive reuse isn’t just about repurposing buildings—it’s about reimagining possibilities. It’s where history meets innovation, where old spaces find new life, and where communities collaborate to transform their environments.
From historic buildings reborn as creative spaces to old stations turned into redeveloped parks, cities are experimenting with ways to show that the past can fuel the future. By bringing together diverse perspectives and stakeholders, they're not just preserving buildings—they’re building cities that reflect collective needs while improving residents' quality of life and reducing environmental impact.
In this edition of the Informed Cities Newsletter, we spotlight success stories, opportunities and resources from Re-Value Cities and the INHERIT project to show how cities across Europe are turning forgotten structures into lively centers of creativity, culture, and sustainability. Why demolish when you can reinvent?
