PP7 Poitiers Poitiers has a highly sophisticated economy and a famous university. The close by science, technology and entertainment park ‘Futuroscope’ atracts 1.5 Mio. visitors/ year. These conditions result in a low unemployment rate. Despite the economic success, the maintenance of the cultural heritage and turning it into a stronger economic asset could be improved. Concerning “visual integrity” the main chalenges are: To integrate contemporary architecture without harming the historic, spatial and townscape characteristics. Concerning “Integrated revitalisation/ balancing the needs” the main challenges are: To promote and provide multimodal, alternative public transport in the historic centre (mobility); To improve the accessibility for handicapped and make them able to experience the cultural heritage; To develop long-term cooperation between stakeholders and involve them, in particular property owners, in support of the further development of the historic urban landscape; To maintain the level of economic activities in the historic centre; To keep the historic centre alive; To prevent the historic centre from gentrifying; To present the historic urban landscape in a new way to inhabitants and tourists. To attract more tourism to the historic centre and prolong their stay by linking the historic centre with the ‘Futuroscope’ park and natural attraction of the surrounding; To better manage the historic urban landscape and its development; To reduce the CO2 emission of the historic centre e.g. through improvement of the energy efficiency of historic buildings. Poitiers will contribute its profound experience within: Lighting concepts to present historic monuments in a new way; Improving accessibility and the experience of the historic urban landscape for handicapped people (also blind ones); Providing social housing to secure social mixture in the historic centre; Involving the local community; Funding program for private owners to rehabilitate their buildings, preserving the cultural value. PP8 Valencia In Valencia historic neighbourhoods suffered for years serious degradation, resulting in the decline of its resident population. Within the historic centre the situation could be improved considerably (80-90% is rehabilitated), but other historic neighbourhoods outside the historic centre are still in need of an adequate revitalisa- 16

Concerning “visual integrity” the main chalenges are: Physical deterioration of the historic buildings because often low-income households own and in-habit these buildings lacking the financial resources for the rehabilitation work. Concerning “Integrated revitalisation/ balancing the needs” the main challenges are: Involvement of stakeholders in the process; Lack of recreational and green areas; Loss of positive image and identity; Diversification of uses in historic urban landscapes, converting historic buildings into attractive areas for economic and social activities; Change of the neighbourhoods into leisure centres where residential use becomes a secondary use; Danger of development of ghettos due to immigration of (illegal) foreigners with low-income and increasing delinquency. Valencia will contribute its profound experience in: Protecting the visual integrity through special funds and plans; Integration of new architecture in the historic urban landscape; Rehabilitation and adapting functions/ uses of (public) historic buildings; Rehabilitation of public space; Grant scheme to incite and support private rehabilitation measures; Community participation; Introducing social infrastructure in historic neighbourhoods; Social housing (balancing the rent in historic neighbourhoods); Methodology to evaluate possible impacts of new uses on the historic building and the urban environment; PP9 Valletta Valeta’s rich architecturalfabric provides sample scope and opportunity for restoration and adaptive re-use. The conflict between the preservation needs of the cultural heritage assets/ fabric and the development needs is symptomatic. This lies in the very densely populated area inhabited predominantly by a commuter society; a city state, which is an administrative and economic hub and the geographic and morphological conditions. Concerning “visual integrity” the main chalenges are: Owners extend their historic buildings with building extensions/ top mounting; Historic buildings in need for rehabilitation, but inhabitants are often low-income households and/ or predominantly aged (60+; aging society); new architecture proposals which do not respect the historic fabric and landscape. Concerning “Integrated revitalisation/ balancing the needs” the 17
