Innovation and Transformation of Historic Urban Areas
Transform and regenerate Historic Urban Areas while preserving their unique cultural and social identity and the environment.
The project
Hub-in is an EU funded project of Hubs of Innovation and Entrepreneurship for the Transformation of Historic Urban Areas.
What?
Eight city pilots are working on their selected historic areas to transform them into a "Hub of Innovation and Entrepreneurship" by co-developing new business models and innovative solutions that will bring together sustainability and cultural heritage.
HUB-IN cities developed action plans for their HUA based on the needs and values of the local community, according to the principles of circular and sharing economy.They will make sure local stakeholders and citizens will be able to contribute to the regeneration of their HUA by using engagement methods, and innovative tools and developing alternative financing models and acceleration programs for start-ups.
