“High-rise residential areas” – if you hear this phrase, what comes to mind?

Maybe you visualise pictures of impressive buildings, multiculturalism, energy?

Or perhaps the pictures in your mind are of monotonous architecture, transient communities, empty homes, segregation, stigmatisation, deprivation?

There is truth in both perceptions; however, the negative aspects of high-rise residential areas often dominate people’s perceptions.
The IMAGE project (funded by the European Union’s INTEREG IIIB programme) set itself the task of finding ways to regenerate high-rise residential areas by explicitly focusing on improving their image.

This report summarises the outcomes of the IMAGE project, explores the experiences gained in the high-rise residential areas of the partner cities, and provides a useful toolkit for integrated urban regeneration processes based on our experiences.
