MISTERMilitary and Industrial SiTEs Reusewww.mister-cadses.orgSPATIAL DEVELOPMENTMEASURE 1.2Project DescriptionFor some years already many European cities areconcerned with the reuse and revitalisation ofbrownfields. Brownfields are areas which wereformerly used as locations for industrial or militarypurposes and which are now abandoned. Revitalisingthese areas instead of developing andconsuming urban green or undeveloped land canimprove urban space and can limit the land use ininner-city regions as it helps to avoid extensive urbanexpansion projects. Consequently brownfieldrevitalisation contributes to sustainable forms ofland use.MISTER aims at designing and testing a new setof integrated actions which embraces the restructuringand renewal of towns by reusing derelictland. The project targets a more transparent andresponsible involvement of the private sector. Inparticular private investors should become moreinvolved in reuse plans.The partner regions from five different countries(Italy, Germany, the Czech Republic, Hungary andSlovakia) share the need for an appropriate reuseof existing buildings in decommissioned industrialand military areas. This need affects local decision-makers,urban and building planners, thoseresponsible in the building industry and citizens ingeneral.Specific results of the project will be:i A transnational survey to identify, documentand exchange best practices in Europe concerningbrownfield reuse and the involvement ofprivate investors,i Feasibility studies to define the functional reuseof brownfields,i A transnational juridical-administrative-financialstudy to address a new model of public-privatepartnership,i A transnational study to introduce bio-architectureinto the envisaged plans,i Establishment of a network of cities involved inbrownfield reuse.DurationStart ....................................................... 06/2006End ......................................................... 06/2008Budget (EUR)Total Budget .......................................980,000.00thereof ERDF ......................................625,000.00EU Regions/Member StatesNon EU Member StatesLead PartnerProvince of FerraraEuropean ProjectsCastello Estense44100 FerraraITALYLead PartnerProject PartnerContact PersonMrs. Monia BarcaTel +39 0532 299297Fax +39 0532 299231E-Mail monia.barca@provincia.fe.itProject Partners0 200 kmResults and EffectsLong-term objectives of the project are tostrengthen urban economies, infrastructures andsocial systems by setting up new tertiary functions,such as university campuses, services forsmall- and medium-sized enterprises and culturalservices by reusing the existing stock of buildings.New public-private co-operative models will beintroduced to promote urban restructuring. Otheraims are the transfer of knowledge on urban reuseto private investors as well as the involvement ofprivate investors in the revitalisation projects. Theunderlying goal is to conceive and develop an integratedand sustainable transnational model ofurban growth.Central objective of the project MISTER is to promotethe reuse of derelict areasCzech RepublicMunicipality of Velka Hledsebe, Velka HledsebeGOLFER s.r.o., Karlovy VaryGermanyFIM - NeuesLernen, ErlangenHungaryProperty Management and Development Holding, BudapestItalyMunicipality of Rimini, RiminiSlovakiaKošice Self-Governing Region, Kosice44INTERREG III B CADSES / PROJECT BOOK
