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 an operational level, the network will:<br />
- devise a conceptual framework (incl. a common terminology) to describe<br />
and analyze issues of shrinking cities,<br />
- survey and review the existing studies on regeneration strategies in<br />
shrinking cities in Europe and elsewhere,<br />
- assess the level and nature of selected approaches to regenerate shrinking<br />
cities,<br />
- provide on-site advice to end-users of the completed research in selected<br />
shrinking cities,<br />
- offer a 'best practice' database on regeneration strategies,<br />
- provide access for young researchers to a highly innovative debate.<br />
