Project overview

From Niche to Centre - City Centres as Places of Circular Lifestyles

City centres have long been busy places where people meet, shop and consume. This started to change fast when the Corona pandemic and growing online trade forced many shops to close. The NiCE project re-vitalises fading city centres by making local trade and consumption more circular and sustainable. The partners develop innovative urban development approaches, which focus on the creation of multifunctional resource centres and on utilising empty spaces for circular offers.

Key outputs

Joint Development of a Strategy Framework

Based on: a) a joint assessment of existing political measures, action and development plans, strategies and programmes, b) good examples that support circular lifestyles in cities and c) our needs analysis findings, we will develop in transnational workshops a strategy framework for promotion and establishment of circular lifestyles in cities/city centres. The strategy framework will be published and be a guiding document for uptake and further adaptations in cities throughout (Central) Europe.
