3 Scientific Programme of <strong>CIRES</strong><br />
4 Main Tasks:<br />
• Synopsis Engaged of Scholarship Published Diamond Research Model on Shrinking (Van de <strong>Cities</strong> Ven 2007)<br />
Review of a comprehensive sample of academic journal articles in different<br />
languages with a special emphasis on regeneration strategies.<br />
• Theory-Practice Interface on Regeneration Strategies<br />
Series of four workshop meetings in reference cities to gain a deeper<br />
understanding of causes, processes, and policy implications in the different<br />
types of shrinking cities (former mining city, old industrialised city, satellite<br />
city, comparably wealthy city with a declining and fast ageing population).<br />
• Theory Building and Interdisciplinary Communication<br />
Alternative theories and methods to deal with the issue of shrinking cities<br />
will be developed. The most important part of the conceptual framework is a<br />
common terminology across countries and disciplines.<br />
• Problem Solving Strategies and Best Practice Database<br />
This task focuses on linking the research findings back to the problem as<br />
defined in the Theory-Practice Interface.<br />
