A database of organisations and actors dealing with issues related to public spaces in the Balkan/ SEE region has been created within the project “Revival of City Squares in Balkan Cities” As its overall goal, the project “Revival of City Squares in Balkan Cities” aims to contribute to the revival of city squares as viable public places that foster cultural identity and promote diversity through enforcement of public policies and active community participation. The action intends to achieve two major specific objectives: to promote national and regional policy discourse on how city squares can be transformed into pulsating community places and develop a platform for transforming open public spaces into vibrant places that serve community needs. This project uses participative approaches and partnerships to build on the already reached achievements in Balkan/ SEE region and to secure active involvement of all relevant stakeholders. Different civil society organizations and other actors give considerable contribution to addressing public spaces issues. There are numerous projects and initiatives all around the Balkan/ SEE region treating issues in this field. The database aims to present, in one place, various organisations and actors dealing with issues related to public spaces in the Balkan/ SEE region. We would like to invite all of you whose work is related to city squares and public spaces, their transformation and public participation, to contact us. This will help us create a valuable database/ platform for the Revival of City Squares in Balkan cities.
