CLIC GOALS

OVERALL PROJECT GOAL The overarching goal of the CLIC trans-disciplinary research project is to identify evaluation tools to test, implement, validate and share innovative "circular" financing, business and governance models for systemic adaptive reuse of cultural heritage and landscape, demonstrating the economic, social, environmental convenience, in terms of long lasting economic, cultural and environmental wealth.

PROJECT OBJECTIVES Objective 1 – To synthesize existing knowledge on successful stories of cultural heritage adaptive reuse and implement stakeholders’ engagement tools for their effective transfer and replication. Objective 2 – To perform a holistic ex-post evaluation of successful stories and provide a framework for the assessment of the economic, social, cultural and environmental impacts of cultural heritage adaptive reuse, contributing to the definition of a European circular city/territory model of sustainable development. Objective 3 – To provide policy-relevant guidelines to overcome existing cultural, social, economic, institutional, legal, regulatory and administrative barriers and bottlenecks to systemic adaptive reuse of cultural heritage. Objective 4 – To develop and test innovative governance arrangements for the management of heritage commons, supported by evidence-based and inclusive decision support evaluation tools, to improve policy and management options/choices on cultural heritage systemic adaptive reuse.

PROJECT OBJECTIVES Objective 5 – To analyse hybrid financing and business models that promote circularity through shared value creation, and assess their feasibility, bankability and robustness for cultural heritage adaptive reuse. Objective 6 – To bring together academic and local practice knowledge through co-development and co- validation of the CLIC circular financing, business and governance practical tools in 4 European cities/territories representative of different geographic, historic, cultural and political contexts. Objective 7 – To operationalize the “conservation by adaptation” approach through the development of integrated tools for conservation and management, stressing the importance of preserving authenticity and integrity, thus contributing to implementing the UNESCO Recommendation on Historic Urban Landscape. Objective 8 – To develop spatial and multi-criteria evaluation tools that support the reconnection of fragmented landscapes, through innovative functions, sustainable infrastructures and enhanced visual relationships at macro and micro scale.

PROJECT OBJECTIVES Objective 9 – To design and implement a stakeholders-oriented Knowledge and Information Hub to make tools and information accessible, useful and usable and test them with policy-makers, entrepreneurs, investment funds and civil society organisations. Objective 10 – To contribute to the creation of new jobs and skills in the circular economy through cultural heritage adaptive reuse, boosting startups and sustainable hybrid businesses and empowering local communities and stakeholders through public-private-social cooperation models. Objective 11 – To contribute to the monitoring and implementation of SDGs (especially Target 11.4) and the New Urban Agenda, creating operational synergies with global initiatives of UN-Habitat, UNESCO/ICOMOS and the World Urban Campaign.

METHODOLOGY

METHODOLOGY To meet the scope and expectations of this call, it is fundamental to adopt a systemic perspective, able to address cultural heritage through the landscape dimension, at macro and micro level. BUILD KNOWLEDGE THROUGH CONTINUOUS ANALYSIS AND ASSESSMENT OF PROCEDURES collection and analysis of successful cases of adaptive reuse of cultural heritage analysis of cultural, social, economic, institutional, legal, regulatory and administrative barriers and bottlenecks study of previous frameworks developed and adopted for cultural heritage impact assessment; DEVELOP CIRCULAR GOVERNANCE, FINANCING AND BUSINESS MODELS AND TOOLS FOR INFORMED DECISION-MAKING provide feasible models based on good practice validation tools for supporting informed choices at the policy, entrepreneurial and community level are developed;

METHODOLOGY TESTING, IMPLEMENTATION AND VALIDATION OF CIRCULAR FINANCING, BUSINESS AND GOVERNANCE MODELS CLIC will therefore build 4 Heritage Innovation Partnerships (HIPs), each convened by a local partner and supported by a local research partner (IRISS in the case of Salerno; Uppsala University in the case of Västra Götaland region, University of Nova Gorica in the case of Rijeka, Technical University of Eindhoven in the case of Pakhuis de Zwijger Foundation located in Amsterdam); DISSEMINATION, EXPLOITATION AND TRANSFER Engage the “Heritage Community” Small Valleys implementation Startup contest Edited book.

CIRCULAR MODELS IN HERITAGE ADAPTIVE REUSE: WHAT ABOUT?

CIRCULARITY AND REUSE CIRCULAR MODELS IN HERITAGE ADAPTIVE REUSE REFER TO DIFFERENT LEVELS AND SUBJECTS: Respect of integrity and authenticity Materials recycling and re-scaling Objects reuse and re-scaling Production and employ (re-employ) processes Destination of cultural heritage - multifunctionality Activities associated to cultural heritage Resilience Retrofitting Community/collectivity engagement or simple awareness

Respect of integrity and authenticity CIRCULARITY AND REUSE Respect of integrity and authenticity Look at the traditional techniques and technologies; Preserve the historic patina Promote maintenance instead of “restoration and renovation” Contextualize the intervention; Look at local materials and local crafts – consider the Genius Loci Work for the sense of place Consider also traditional architecture valuable for local ”identity” Values vs qualities (Jokilehto)
