Markets Guidelines offers cities new route map for development

URBACT markets thematic guidelines written up by Barcelona, London and Torino are now available  for Europe's cities to consult.

The three guidelines deal with the three core issues of the URBACT Markets project: how to use markets to develop an enterprise culture and tourism, bring about urban regeneration and create low carbon economies. 

Barcelona's Town Centre Urban Development Guidelines provide an overview of best-practise approaches to market refurbishment and how to use these to drive urban change in the immediate vicinity to facilities. 

The Low Carbon and Local Supply Chain document by London examines how URBACT members can develop their own local action plans taking into account some of the benchmark practises currently being carried out, analysing transfer costs, too. 

Torino's Employment and Entrepreneurship Guidelines highlight how markets can be leveraged to generate wealth and employments, focusing on tourism and other enterprise initiatives.
