The DELTA Group is active in several countries, revitalizing everything from existing buildings to entire abandoned industrial sites—brownfield development. Differences are particularly evident in the legal, economic, and cultural frameworks. In Ukraine, for example, recent history and the reconstruction process have shaped priorities that are quite different from those in Austria.
What all these projects have in common, however, is their power to transform neglected spaces into catalysts for an entire (urban) community—provided they are implemented with respect and in partnership. Partnership is the key here. Such projects are too complex to be tackled in isolation—they require collaboration among cities, investors, planners, cultural professionals, and the public. The earlier and more openly cooperation is embraced, the greater the chance that a brownfield site will become a vibrant place that thrives in the long term.
Leadersnet interviewed Erik Stefanovic (Managing Director, DELTA Group CZ & SK) and Maria Dietrich (COO, CMb.industries) at EXPO REAL about this topic of the future—and learned what “golden energy” is all about.
