Key Stakeholders Analysis:
The main stakeholders are the subjects mentioned in the previous paragraph: municipality, land owners, then most likely also the trustee of the sport precincts and the universities.
Their opinions to the new use of the area are slightly different – while the municipality prefers also non-commercial functions (exhibition centre, entertainment and culture facilities, city park) and gives emphasis also to the public space, the owner of the factory prefers remunerative uses - such as business centres, shops, and luxurious housing.

In the course of the project, there have been several meetings with the owners, representatives of the municipality, planning officers. Several participation workshops for the public were organised as well. After the community forum will be established, there will be a platform for participation in the implementation phase.
