The Activity Plan of the Subproject
Summary description of the Subproject Activity Plan.
The project will be organised in six work packages. One work package leader is assigned for each work package. All partners are involved in all work packages delivering input and testing the guidelines and tools in their cities.
Work package 1: Project Management
Lead partner, City of Cologne
The City of Cologne will provide technical, administrative and financial project management. The description of this work package can be found in the corresponding chapter.
Work package 2: User requirements for urban revitalisation
Lead: Lille Métropole
Local and European stakeholder meetings will be carried out and user requirements will be gathered in a manual. All partners will deliver input for the report of user requirements. This will be the basis for the development of a guideline and for the architecture of a decision support system. User requirements will take into account the results from former European projects and networks on urban regeneration.
Work package 3: Guideline for Cities for urban regeneration
Lead: City of Cologne
A guideline for an urban strategy for Site recycling will be authored, where methods and steps of strategic urban regeneration resolution shall be described.
All partners will deliver site specific and country specific input for this deliverable. The proceedings of the “round tables” with stakeholders at local and European level will serve as valuable input.
This work package also takes care to compile and collect all information from different local and European projects concerning site revitalization, e.g. NORISC, CABERNET, RESCUE, WELCOME, INCORE. Teaching/Training courses for different tools concerning contaminated sites will be offered to the consortium.
Work package 4: Architecture of Decision support software
Lead: IETU
All important data to be considered in strategic site recycling are being considered in this module; a feasibility study will be carried out on the future development of a software.
The results will give the structure (architecture) of a software that could be developed to support sustainable decision making in recycling of contaminated sites in cities.
The future application should take into account among others the following problems:
Support for gathering information about potential post industrial sites – creating
- preliminary inventory (according to ISO)
- Support for development of the site investigation plans (connection with NORISC software)
- Support for development of the site characterisation and assessment including HRA
- Support for development of the ranking of the characterised sites
- Support for indicative cost assessment and support for City Revitalisation Programme development
The total scope of required data will be obtained within WP2 and WP3 and issued in the form of internal deliverables. Within WP4 the requested formats of main data as well as the scope of auxiliary data will be developed and issued in the form of an internal deliverable. The second deliverable that will be issued as main results of WP4 will contain the description of the software architecture. The software development will be subject of a future project to be continued after the finalisation of this INTEGRA Sites project.
Work package 5: Tests and Demonstration in real life projects
Lead: Lille Métropole
The guideline and the software architecture are contrasted with real life regeneration projects in the three cities. The tests are “desk top” tests contrasting the guideline and architecture against urban regeneration projects in all three cities.
The concrete example for Katowice will be the Silesia City Center - situated on the premises of the former Coal-Mine “KLEOFAS” . Lille will choose among the 29 vacant sites and Cologne will select the most adequate project (the “Kluth Area” and the “Butzweiler Hof” Developments are the ones proposed).
Work package 6: Dissemination
Lead: City of Katowice
Meetings shall be carried out in Lille for local authorities of Nord-Pas-De Calais, in Katowice for local authorities of Silesia, in Cologne for local authorities of North-Rhine Westphalia to sensitise the necessity of remediation and to give methods of resolution and obtain user requirements. Since the guideline and reports will be transferable to many other cities, public authorities in France, Germany and Poland will be invited, too, in order to open the project findings to a wider public.
Four European stakeholder meetings will be held in all three cities.
Links to the project will be established on the WebPages of all involved cities in English and the local languages.
A project leaflet or brochure in three languages shall be printed.
Downloadable newsletter and e-mail newsletters will be sent to stakeholders for Urban Regeneration.
Description of major activities of the Subproject by phases:
October 2004 – December 2004:
During this period the partners involved will meet for the first time giving them the possibility to adjust and refine their ideas and activities. All workpackages will start off with an initial plan being continuously refined from meeting to meeting.
Contacts to local stakeholders will be established at all three sites.
WP 1/4:
The local authorities of Cologne will organise a kick off meeting #1 in October 2004 in Cologne, where a first draft is to be made on the different sections of the project to facilitate management of the project. Information and knowledge on former EU projects such as NORISC, RESCUE and CABERNET will be exchanged in order to lift all partners to the same level of knowledge and experience concerning site investigation and revitalisation. The City of Cologne and IETU will introduce the partners to the NORISC software, which is necessarily to be used in field tests and real life demonstrations as it will be embedded into the software architecture.
WP 2/3/4:
All three local authorities will start organising local stakeholder meetings in all three cities in order to collect needs and wishes of all stakeholders involved in site recycling projects, as pooling user requirements is a major step towards a basis for the architecture of a decision support system and also for a guideline.
WP5
Possible sites for desk top studies will be selected and discussed.
WP 6:
Katowice will start off working on a web presentation of the project and gathering information in order to draft a leaflet/brochure, which will ensure later dissemination. The needed information will be delivered to the city of Katowice from the other partners by e-mail, phone etc.(identifying contact data base)
A financial and administrative report will be written closing the first section.
January 2005 – June 2005:
WP1/2:
A European stakeholder conference in Lille will be organised. It will take place in January 2005. The stakeholder conference will be combined with a project management meeting # 2 on “User Requirements in Urban regeneration”, where information and experiences gained so far shall be exchanged in order to adopt to eventual changes, evaluation of progress etc..
WP 1/3/2:
A project meeting # 3 will be organised taking place in Katowice in May 2005 in order to exchange and pool information for a “Strategic Recycling of Contaminated sites the Guideline for cities”, combined with a stakeholder conference and a project management meeting, where user requirements shall be gathered and the management will be informed on the progress of the project etc..
WP3:
Cologne will set up a first draft of a guideline.
WP4:
IETU will organise and carry out a presentation/course on the WELCOME and INCORE project “Revitalisation of Mega Sites” for involved INTEGRA Sites partners
WP6:
Katowice will continue to work on the web presentation as well as the leaflet/brochure.
A financial and administrative report will be written closing the second section.
July 2005 – December 2005:
WP1/3:
Cologne will organise the project meeting # 4 in Cologne in October 2005, where experiences and knowledge shall be structured in order to complete the “Guideline test in Cities”
WP1/5:
Together with Lille Cologne will arrange desktop studies on selected sites in Cologne, Lille and Katowice testing the guidelines against real recycling projects in order to compare the different analysis methods (comparing INTEGRA Sites guideline with the ones currently in use on investigated sites).
WP4:
IETU will start to define an architectural approach of a software module in form of a decision support system design, which will be able to support making decisions in site management (DSS), eventually embedding knowledge gained from other EU projects; a feasibility study for the future design of a software will be made.
WP6:
Katowice will continue to work on the web presentation and the leaflet.
A financial and administrative report will be written closing the third section.
January 2006 – June 2006:
WP1/2/3/4/5
A project meeting # 5 will be organised taking place in Lille in January 2006 on “Verify satisfaction of User Requirements by project development” presenting project results developed on formerly collected user requirements, collecting data on eventually to be adjusted sections of the project, which do not match with user requirements.
WP3:
Cologne will continue to work on the refinement of the guideline on “urban regeneration”
WP4:
IETU will work on last refinements on the feasibility study of the architecture of a software module (DSS)
WP1/2/3/4/5
A final project management meeting (# 6) will be organised taking place in Katowice in March 2006 combined with a final European stakeholder conference
WP1:
Cologne will set up a final report on the project.
