Innovative models for neighbourhoods that integrate beauty, inclusiveness and sustainability · Revitalising neighbourhoods around existing railway and motorway corridors

Project results are expected to contribute to all of the following expected outcomes: • The use of the innovative solutions reduces the environmental, ecological, economic, social and health negative effects of existing, active railway lines and motorways[1] on demonstrator sites, contributing to their revitalisation. • Improved adoption of solutions by the stakeholders such as local authorities, inhabitants, architects, engineers, landscape architects or urban planners.

Active railway lines and motorways are an integral part of the European landscape. However, they can be perceived as sources of disturbances such as pollutants, noise and air pollution, invasive alien plants species vectors, potential hazards, etc. Moreover, railways lines and motorway may negatively impact surrounding neighbourhoods[1] through which they pass, making them unsightly, neglected, unattractive as well as biodiversity harmful.Innovative solutions are thus…

Activities are expected to achieve TRL 6-8 by the end of the project - see General Annex B. Activities may start at any TRL.
