The Opengela project seeks to extend urban regeneration in the Basque Country, using a novel instrument: «The creation of neighbourhood offices that will act as 'one stop shops' for attending to residents».
The office in each district (Opengela) can handle any issues related to comprehensive building rehabilitation: from administrative paperwork through to relationships with personnel working on the site and channelling of financial aid.
The project is financed by the European Commission's Horizon 2020 programme and has begun with a pilot scheme in two districts: Otxarkoaga (Bilbao) and Txonta (Eibar).
