• Inspiration Catalogue with Policy Measures to Improve the Use of Existing Buildings

    The inspiration catalogue is created to provide examples on policy measures across the Nordic region and beyond, that are already introduced or can be used to improve the use of existing buildings rather than demolishing and building new. The catalogue consists of five action areas to consider when preserving and utilising the existing building stock, whether it is maintaining, reusing, transforming or adapting the existing building stock.
