ArcHeritage
Location of Activities: Russian Federation, Tunisia,
Theme: Good Governance and Urban Development Policy
Sector: Cultural Heritage
Lead Partner: Province of Cagliari (Italy); Contact: Gianpietro COMANDINI - email: gcomandini@provincia.cagliari.it

Cultural tourism is significantly more environmentally friendly than traditional mass tourism and can play an important role in the economy of the countries and regions involved in the project. These are the Province of Cagliari in Sardinia; Hunedoara County in Romania; Cape Bon in Tunisia, and Krasnodar Region, Temryuk in the Russian Federation. All four share a common history and cultural heritage that reaches back to their longstanding experience of life under Roman Empire rule.
SPIN-Energy efficiency & urban development planning
Location of Activities: Russian Federation, Ukraine,
Sector: Energy Efficiency
Lead Partner: Municipality of Savski Venac (Serbia); Contact: Nemanja PETROVIC - email: petrovicn@savskivenac.rs;

Buildings account for 40% of the energy demand in the EU, and even more in the ENPI countries. Improving energy use in the building sector is therefore essential to reducing energy consumption and CO2 emissions. Historical buildings, of which there are many in Ukraine and the Russian Federation, pose a particular challenge given constraints that apply when undertaking renovation work that make it difficult to increase their energy performance.

Moscow and Ukraine are two very important centres of the Russian avant-garde architectural movement of the 1920s and 30s. Since the 1990s, however, little money has gone into conserving these buildings. With many developers and architects considering it cheaper to replace rather than to preserve, iconic examples of this cultural and architectural heritage have more recently been threatened by numerous development projects. This in turn threatens the distinctive character and cultural specificities of Moscow and Kiev.
