Project Title NeighbOurhoods on Thin IcE – Heritage and Naturally Valued Climate-Sensitive Built Environments

Summary

Neighbourhood’s on Thin Ice will result in new evidence-based planning methods, a decision-making framework and toolkit for heritage sensitive and healthy urban planning/design, customized to sparsely populated communities, northern climate conditions and climate change.

These communities face dilemmas regarding natural resources, a source of economic growth which also greatly affects the local environment and involves multi-national companies. The project is centred on case studies in several countries involving local stakeholders, national design organisations and academia. The results will be both context-specific and provide general insights regarding how to deal with heritage, climate and demographic challenges in the northern periphery. The awareness, knowledge and networking among local stakeholders will also increase. It is new and original due to trans-sectoral cooperation between local communities and professionals of conservation, urban design, health promotion, industries.
