REGENERATION in BULGARIA
The debate on the Integrated urban development in Bulgarian cities is still open.
UR is being assessed from different perspectives:
•as a reflection of the EU intents on the local level and prospects for absorption
of EU Funds;
•as an effective instrument in urban regeneration processes that builds upon the
municipal policy;
•as a challenge for the existing planning culture as an agenda for rethinking the
planning profession and re-institutionalization of planning process;
•as an opportunity for integrating spatial and socio-economic considerations in
accordance to the available resources at local and neighborhood level.
