Assessing Sustainability and Organizational Innovation of Urban Regeneration Projects
This book offers the first comprehensive report on the topic of organizational innovation and sustainability of urban regeneration from the public manager's perspective. Starting from a rich set of case studies on urban regeneration from the region of Apulia, in Italy, it develops a framework for measuring their sustainability performance. It proposes the use of indicators related to different aspects of the urban regeneration process, including the participations of stakeholders; land use and buildings; economy and jobs; transportation; environmental pollution; energy use; waste management; as well as open spaces and wildlife. This book offers extensive information to graduate students and researchers, and to authorities, developers, investors and stakeholders alike, involved in the design, planning and management, and sustainable development of urban spaces. It is expected to foster a better understanding of the level of organizational innovation and sustainability of urban regeneration projects and the role of governing bodies in their implementation.
The Role of Universities in the Europe 2020 Strategy
This book provides a unique study of the role of universities, as organisation systems, in the pursuit of the Europe 2020 strategy. While Europe 2020 focuses on creating the basis for the advancement and cohesion of the EU’s member states, it also has an important role in influencing the development strategies for potential candidate states. In this regard, the book examines two new member states – Slovenia and Croatia – and two potential EU candidate states – Serbia and Kosovo – in the Western Balkans. Based on these cases, the author argues that the operationalization of the Europe 2020 strategy depends to a great extent of the role and contribution of tertiary organisations such...

Community Governance comunità in azione
Il cambiamento dell’approccio allo sviluppo territoriale è legato alla capacità di comprendere, interpretare e assorbire la varietà dell’ambiente di riferimento attraverso l’apertura dei processi decisionali agli stakeholder territoriali e alla loro diretta partecipazione non solo nella fase di ideazione e progettazione ma anche in quella di attuazione. Questo per supportare la capacità della comunità di generare uno sviluppo sostenibile dal punto di vista istituzionale, sociale, economico e ambientale, uno sviluppo che garantisca un progressivo miglioramento, vero e duraturo, del benessere e della qualità della vita dei suoi residenti, grazie all’agire collaborativo e integrato degli stakeholder territoriali, tra i quali la società civile nelle sue diverse forme e articolazioni operative. Se la comunità in azione è oggi un obiettivo primario per amministratori pubblici, imprenditori, manager di imprese e di aziende pubbliche, amministratori e manager di aziende non profit, singoli cittadini, la Community Governance è il paradigma culturale, lo stimolo e il modello di governo di questa azione.
Prawo do miasta a wyzwania polityki miejskiej w Polsce
Procesy i zdarzenia obserwowane w ostatnich latach na świecie wymagają adekwatnej odpowiedzi naukowej. Jedną z jej form jest redefiniowanie, dostosowywanie wcześniejszych koncepcji teoretycznych. Dotyczy to również wyzwań, wobec których stają miasta i polityka miejska. Coraz bardziej zauważalne zmiany klimatyczne i pandemia skłaniają do pogłębionej refleksji w tym zakresie. Jednym z jej punktów odniesienia jest koncepcja prawa do miasta. Zaproponowana wiele lat temu, wciąż stanowi przedmiot szerokiej międzynarodowej dyskusji (a także działań wdrożeniowych). Celem monografii jest próba dostosowania koncepcji prawa do miasta do aktualnych wyzwań miast polskich. Zadania podjęli się autorzy reprezentujący zróżnicowane dyscypliny i różne punkty widzenia: Maciej Cesarski, Paweł Churski, Jerzy Hausner, Hubert Izdebski, Tomasz Kaczmarek, Tomasz Komornicki, Tadeusz Markowski, Rafał Matyja, Maciej J. Nowak, Krzysztof Simon, Robert Simon, Marek S. Szczepański, Przemysław Śleszyński, Anna Śliz.
