Business incubators and entrepreneurs training experience is something running-in but it still misses a systemic vision combining together different revitalisation issues and actors.

During 1980’s, related to the urban decacy of the area, many economic activities left
Now:• Entrepreneurial low value activities• Social decadence, decline and soil• Massive presence of immigrants (ghettoization)
Medieval Urban Structure
Several actions were carried out BUT
• the partecipatory approach is particularly challenging
• the peculiar urban and social environment thwarts the regeneration plans
Ciutat Vella
Permanent processes of degradation until second half of the ’70s
Now:• A policy of urban regeneration was carried out in Ciutat Vella in the last decades • Urban degradation produced by massive tourism and deprived people (homeless, drug addicts, etc)• Integration of native population and immigrants from really different origins and spoken languages
BUT: • Public plans for the promotion of Barcelona’s economy are not targeted to order and support the economy of the district• Immigrant entrepreneurs usually ignore/don’t use public resources (training, professional advice, etc)

•Due to natural disasters and ignorance over time, some part of historic heritage is about to perish.
•Being in the very center of Istanbul, this area is densely populated. •Being the center of all civilizations accumulated over the centuries in Istanbul.•Enormous historical and cultural heritage from different civilizations.•A difficult task to generate consciousness to preserve this historical and cultural heritage due to the large volumes of business activities.
Several phenomenon are under observation:• The market area (Grand Bazar) is crowded during the day and deserted in the night time,• the massive presence of people with low incomes and low educational levels from many different parts of the country,• the high value of the historical heritage.
Historic centre of Kalamata
The castle and the historical neighbourhood that surrounds it form the oldest hub of the city of Kalamata. A plethora of religious monuments and buildings located here illustrate the city’s history in a most vibrant and colourful way. Now:
• many buildings have been turned over to new uses and are being wonderfully renovated to host cultural activities,
• the massive presence of students changed the vocation of the area from day to night life.
Historic centre of GrazGraz's "Old Town" is one of the best-preserved city centers in Central Europe and in 1999 it was added to the UNESCO list of World Culture Heritage Sites. Graz was sole Cultural Capital of Europe in 2003.Graz is a particularly fine example of the living heritage of a central European urban complex that was under Habsburg rule for many centuries. The old city is a harmonious blend of the architectural styles and artistic movements that have succeeded each other since the Middle Ages, together with cultural influences from the neighbouring regions. The special atmosphere of the Old Town played an important role on the extremely positive and widespread international resonance that awarded Graz the status of "Europe's cultural capital 2003". During the summer months the streets, squares and inner courtyards provide a wonderful backdrop for topclass events.

Warsaw
Cluj-Napoca
Smolna Street
• Smolna 8 – Warsaw’s first apartment building from the 70’s populated with Polish expats . The aging group of those who returned to Poland from the West with “enormous money”, an apartment there cost $3000 - $5000 • Old elegant apartment buildings from the turn of the century. These days they are low income and senior subsidised housing. • School – one of the most visible in Warsaw, however it is hardly involved in community issues, • Cultural Center – with “cultural menu” it just recently started cooperating with the Smolna Association . • Small but very prestigious institutions.
Historic centre of Cluj-NapocaThe citadel was destroyed and rebuilt as CIVITAS NAPOCA after the Roman conquest (101-102; 105-106 d. C. until 217 d.C.). In centuries XI and X, the medieval fortress attested as CASTRUM CLUS, had a much limited surface.In 1405 CASTRUM CLUS became a FREE ROYAL TOWN (CIVITAS), which contributed to its economic growth. The GUILDS (crafts) started to have a significant role. The walls expanded and included, by the end of the XVI century, a surface of around 45 hectares, surrounded by the guilds of the craftsmen. Today the area hosts: •Culture: the National Theatre and Opera; International Cultural Centers and Institutes; Central University Library; the Arts Museum etc. •Main squares•Universities•Local public administration institutionsBUTThe Guilds are lost and with them the traditional economic activities
