Evaluation and Monitoring

Evaluation and monitoring is, of course, an integral part of any good project, and MP4 is no exception.  Our partner VLM, based in Bruges Belgium is working hard with other partners to identify the most efficient way of evaluating our pilot projects.  We want to know if our pilots have been successful, but we also want to know where we could have done better.  This information will inform the practitioners' toolkit, or handbook, that will enable other practitioners throughout the EU to successfully make places, but even more importantly to keep them afterwards.  Placekeeping is the raison d'etre of MP4 and we want to share our experiences with others.  The work VLM is leading on will play a large part in this.

Another partner, HafenCity University, along with others involved in MP4, is constantly working towards better methods of monitoring progress.   

University of Sheffield has been monitoring and evaluating community capacity, and has written a report on its findings.  Please click on the link below to access.
