Neighbourhood power (R-8968)

The main objective of the N-POWER project is to support innovative 'neighbourhood development policies' enabling the EMR cities to effectively reintegrate their 'excluded' neighbourhoods and populations in a creative, inclusive and sustainable development pathway. This will not only contribute to the reduction of environmental inequalities between neighbourhoods and to the economic revitalisation of the deprived neighbourhoods through the creation of new local activities and jobs, but also, to the social development of neighbourhoods (through effects in terms of e.g. community learning, social integration, social cohesion and collective organisational capacity). The N-POWER project will thus jointly work on environmental, social and economic reintegration of the excluded neighbourhoods and their inhabitants.
