Gentrification or urban rehabilitation? (The case of the city of Klaipeda)
Abstract
Conclusions. The Triple Helix approach, developed by Henry Etzkowitz and Loet Leydesdorff, based on the perspective of University as a leader of the relationship with Industry and Government, to generate new knowledge, innovation and economic development was ought to help here. The model was discussed among the students. However, none of the groups managed to include the university as a solid key player into the project. The example of the Liverpool culture capital as a successful example of this marriage of the three actors was discussed here, too. However, there is still room for consideration in the cities of the so called countries of transition economies.
