Tour des Villes
From Alpine Town to Alpine Town on the way to good examples of dealing with conversion areas, disused buildings and other challenging city planning aspects.
In the framework of Tour des Villes representatives of the Alpine Towns draw from their wide ranging knowledge on sustainable urban development and elaborate together innovative solutions for participation in the planning and realisation process, for decision making and construction of projects for sustainable settlement development, paying special attention to conversion areas. Furthermore, the representatives of the Alpine Towns will have the opportunity to establish useful contacts.
Many towns and villages in the Alpine region facing challenges in sustainable settlement development are confronted with divergent interests. On the one hand, there is the desire to have intact, attractive and lively village centres, on the other hand the search for a new and sustainable use of wasteland and disused buildings, like former military areas, abandoned industrial zones, similar large sites and traffic infrastructure. Through a workshop led by experts, a kick-off meeting, four joint study visits, an excursion and a final event with the presentation of results, the representatives of the Alpine Towns elaborate together concrete requirements and show good practices from different stages of future oriented urban planning.
The Alpine Towns Sonthofen, Idrija, Tolmin and Tolmezzo, the Alpine Town of the year association and CIPRA International are partners in the project. Tour des Villes is financially supported by the Swiss Federal Office for Spatial Development.
