Citizen-led renovation

Introduction

Citizen-led renovation (CLR Phases I & II) supports a shift from top-down renovation approaches to bottom-up, citizen-led renovation by strengthening the capacity of local actors to organise and manage collective renovation initiatives.

‍

Approach

The project works with pilots, learners, followers and an enablers’ network across Europe to support communities, cooperatives and municipalities  involved in renovation. CLR combines technical, legal, financial, governance  and community-engagement support, delivered through hands-on technical  assistance and practical, locally adapted tools. The project also generates  structured insights into barriers, realistic conditions for progress and  policy recommendations based on direct work with pilot initiatives.
