Results and conclusions

› The theme is too complex to have easy and quick results/solutions

› A journey starts with the first step and in case of some cities this project is the first step:

Change in attitude of decision makers

Move from waste collection and hygienic problem

Different services start to speak with each other – from parallel to integrated actions

› The project started at a very good moment – the issue got higher and higher on the European agenda, support of the European Commission and the Managing Authorities

› Amendment of article 7(2) ERDF regulation – very important but time is needed for cities- preparation of urban renewal programs takes considerable time

› From another point of view that timing is not optimal – end of programming period also financial austerity , financial cuts hit hardly the cities and the reaction is decreasing financing for actions, activities which this project wants to carry out
