Performing arts during Happening! in Manifattura Tabacchi Florence – Giovanni Sagi
The European Commission is paying attention to new urban regeneration approaches through T-Factor, a Horizon 2020 project aimed at unlocking the transformative potential of temporary uses in urban regeneration.
The T-factor project shares its first research insights in the freshly published Advanced Cases Portfolio, which documents highlights and stories on temporary uses within eight urban redevelopments across Europe and beyond, namely Manifattura Tabacchi in Florence, King’s Cross in London, Friche Belle de Mai in Marseille, 22@ in Barcelona, EC1 and New Centre in Lodz, Dortmunder U and Union Quarter in Dortmund, Industry City in New York and Red Town in Shanghai. More in detail, the Portfolio shows the multiple benefits that temporary uses can bring about, contributing to increase the value of masterplanning and the effectiveness of regeneration processes.
On June 8th we will celebrate a public online event where we will discuss and share the key highlights and lessons documented through the research, together with representatives and practitioners from across the T-Factor’s Advanced Cases, as well as from some pioneering experiences across Europe.
