2 Objectives and Benefits of <strong>CIRES</strong><br />
The main objective of the Action is to foster the interdisciplinary<br />
knowledge of Regeneration Strategies in Shrinking <strong>Cities</strong> across<br />
Europe.<br />
At a strategic level, the network will:<br />
- provide a forum for the discussion of successful regeneration strategies in<br />
shrinking cities, establishing a frame of common action facing the multiple<br />
challenges around shrinking cities,<br />
- improve the knowledge basis for targeted policy actions by the EU or its<br />
Member States,<br />
- lay foundations for future corresponding EU research initiatives,<br />
- foster the questioning of traditional paradigms of urban development in<br />
view of the demographic and economic challenges in European cities.<br />
