The PICH project has comprehensively<br />
assessed the impact<br />
of fundamental reforms in<br />
urban planning and governance on<br />
the historic built environment and<br />
their sense of place. The research<br />
objectives are concerned with<br />
complex rel<strong>at</strong>ionships and processes<br />
within planning and governance<br />
institutions and the interplay with<br />
citizens’ understandings of place.<br />
These objectives demand a casestudy<br />
approach involving a range of<br />
d<strong>at</strong>a collection and analysis methods.<br />
Prior to this study, <strong>TU</strong> <strong>Delft</strong>,<br />
Newcastle University and University<br />
College Dublin collabor<strong>at</strong>ed on the<br />
SHUC pilot project to investig<strong>at</strong>e<br />
the approach of nine cities in three<br />
northern European countries (The<br />
Netherlands, United Kingdom, and<br />
Ireland) in the planning and management<br />
of the historic urbans<br />
cores.<br />
In the PICH project, each of the<br />
four partners (<strong>TU</strong> <strong>Delft</strong>, Newcastle<br />
University, Università Iuav di<br />
Venezia, and the Norwegian University<br />
of Science and Technology)<br />
investig<strong>at</strong>ed three case studies<br />
in the following them<strong>at</strong>ic lines:<br />
the historic urban core, industrial<br />
areas facing transform<strong>at</strong>ion, and<br />
urban landscapes. <strong>TU</strong> <strong>Delft</strong>’s team<br />
includes Prof. Vincent Nadin, Wout<br />
van den Toorn Vrijthoff, Dr. Azadeh<br />
Arjomand Kermani, Dr. Nikki Brand,<br />
Kasia Piskorek and Nicole Alewijn.<br />
The following case studies have<br />
been investig<strong>at</strong>ed <strong>by</strong> <strong>TU</strong> <strong>Delft</strong>’s<br />
team: the Nieuwe Mark in Breda as<br />
historic urban core, RDM campus in<br />
Rotterdam as an industrial heritage<br />
site, and Dutch w<strong>at</strong>erline as landscape<br />
heritage.<br />
The PICH project provides a pl<strong>at</strong>form<br />
where academic, government,<br />
and civil society partners can<br />
explore and share knowledge about<br />
these processes, learn about both<br />
good and bad experiences under<br />
very different conditions, and understand<br />
the potential for transferability<br />
of solutions.<br />
