Capitalisation on urban experience and knowledge

URBACT Project Results published 2011 (Projects call 1) URBACT final conferences and events (Projects call 2) URBACT Workstreams launched 2012 • To bring forward URBACT (report “ ’ Cities of Tomorrow s answers for integrated & sustainable urban development to urban threats ” ) • • To identify, harness and transfer good practices from other ETC programmes (INTERREG IVC, ESPON, INTERACT) and relevant organisations To issue practical recommendations to support European cities

A wake-up call for cities

The Cities of Tomorrow report is a wake-up call. European cities are ripe with marvellous opportunities but these are also under threat. The crisis has considerably worsened the situation and dramatically reduced the resources available to cities. However, most of the threats are due to long term underlying trends that started much earlier.

Significant proportions of Europe ’ s youth were ‘ NEET ’ – not in education, employment or training – even before the current financial and economic crisis.

In this context, business as usual is simply burying one

’

s head in the sand.

Radical change in framework conditions of development

Novelties of the present situation: • for a number of years there will be no economic growth • the capacities of the public sector will be much more limited than so far • the tolerance level of the people (regarding inequalities) is sharply decreasing Thursday, 30 April 2020 I Page 10

Contradicting assumptions between goals

Even strategies designed within an integrated framework lead to conflicting views Economic growth is considered as pre-assumption for creating more jobs while the growth paradigm is heavily criticized from the perspective of shrinking cities.

Existing technical solutions are emphasized in handling energy and transport problems while new service delivery models, the inclusion of unusual suspects and smart financing are requested against marginalization of the youth.

Clear energy saving and emission reduction targets are required for stimulating the demand for retrofit while the dominance of energy considerations is heavily criticized from the perspective of deprived areas and the fight against socio-spatial segregation.

New ideas are needed in planning and governance

Urban planning and governance are key issues which have to address the demographic, rural (sustainability, food), energy, transport, climate, security topics at once. New ways of societal development have to be found. Besides the idea of green economy there is need for a further innovation: GREEN SOCIAL ECONOMY.

OECD delimitation of functional urban areas

• OECD identification of FUAs – population grid from the global dataset Landscan (2000). Polycentric cores and the hinterlands of FUAs identified on the basis of commuting data, including all settlements from where at least 15% of the workers commute to any of the core settlement(s). • OECD defined four categories (total functional urban area): – small urban areas with a population of 50 – 200 thousand; – medium-sized urban areas (200 – 500 thousand), – metropolitan areas (500 thousand – 1,5 million); – large metropolitan areas (above 1,5 million population).

• 29 OECD countries: 1175 functional urban areas. Public database: www.oecd.org/gov/regional/measuringurban • European OECD countries: 659 functional urban areas (29 large metropolitan areas and 88 metropolitan areas).

What is RURBAN…?

Rural-urban links can take different forms Conventional contiguous city-hinterland forms: • morphological, • functional area, • broader economic area, • urban-rural region including also the rural hinterland A-spatial forms (Andrew Copus): • generic areas: not requiring contiguity in urban-rural links • organized proximity: translocal globalization of rural business for which proximity is irrelevant The OECD study on RURBAN discusses 11 case studies which all belong to the first forms.

EU level interventions required for integrated urban development

• For the success of EU2020 integrated planning (green and social economy strategies) is needed on the level of functional regions. • This new approach needs policy guidance and financial support from the EU, initiating cross sectoral and cross-territorial planning on the functional region level. Integrated solutions are needed: green economy (retrofitting), social economy (including the low skilled)

New elemenst in European policy making for the 2014-2020 period

• ITI: place-based integrated approach, potentially on metropolitan level (larger cities) • CLLD: people-based integrated interventions on local (smaller municipalities) and neighbourhood level • Horizon2020: spatially blind innovative economic actions

The development of tools of different policies is speeding up • Cohesion Policy 320-350 bn eur (?)

– within ERDF the ITIs – within EAFRD the CLLDs – innovative urban actions around 0,3 bn (?)

• Innovation Policy: Horizon 2020 appr. 80 bn eur

Potential links between metropolitan ideas and European policies

• • •

narrow metropolitan areas (zero-sum game): ITIs

, led by cities, in conjunction to

CLLDs

, led by public-private-thirdsector partnerships in smaller areas – the need for defined boundaries and (at least delegated) fixed institutional structure

broader metropolitan areas (win-win type cooperation):

link to regional innovation strategies, led by administrative regions and to

Horizon2020

innovation partnerships – can and should be kept on flexible spatial level
