• Entrust "Empowering Neighbourhoods Throughout Europe" - The main purpose of the ENTRUST project, is to assist the actors in urban regeneration to decide on what forms of collaboration are appropriate for their objectives, at which stage of the process, and under what conditions, provided by the policies and administrative frameworks. They target all actors in integrated urban regeneration on the operational level, who conceive and take part in various projects.

• The New Suburb - Under the banner of "urbanism" or "smart-growth", planners are increasingly building suburbs using the old "Main Street" model; a web of pedestrian-friendly streets cradling a mass-transit-served town center, surrounded by a mix of housing alternative. We suggest that you take an interesting virtual tour organized by the "National Geographic Magazine", of a new urbanist neighborhood as an alternative to sprawl development.
