Europe
North-western Europe can be considered among the most dynamic and prosperous regions of the European union. However, various constraints weigh heavily on its population and regional economies to the extent that its competitiveness is threatened.
In order to preserve and improve North-western Europe's appeal, the European Union, within the framework of the "Interreg IIIB NWE" programme, finances forward looking projects dealing with city and regional planning. The Converting Sacred Spaces project lies within the scope of the 4.2 priority which aims at protecting and developing European cultural heritage.
