The Impact of Artists on Contemporary Urban Development in Europe
This book provides an up-to-date, critical review of theoretical concepts connecting artists and urban development. It focuses on the multidimensionality of potential and actually observed interactions between artists and cities and their impacts on urban space, its form, functions and perceptions. Departing from the viewpoint that a more nuanced geography of artists is still needed to fully conceptualise the diversity of roles artistic creatives play in urban transformations, the book presents contributions with a common denominator of distinguishing artists as a unique professional and social group. The essays focus on the complexity of the artists’ spatial preferences and analyse a myri...
Participatory Research and Planning in Practice
This open access book provides in-depth insights into participatory research and planning by presenting practical examples of its use. In particular, it describes theoretical and methodological aspects of participatory research and planning, as well as the implementation of participatory processes in fields such as transport planning, cultural heritage management, environmental planning and post-earthquake recovery. Further, it compares participatory planning experiences from different territorial levels – from the macro-regional, e.g. Southeastern Europe, Mediterranean or European metropolitan regions, to national, regional and local levels. The book will help researchers, planners, public administration officials, decision-makers and the general public to understand the advantages, disadvantages and constraints of participatory planning and research. Using various examples, it will guide readers through the theory of participatory planning and research, its methods, and different perspectives on how to use it in practice.
Creative Industries in Europe
This book demonstrates how the creative industries are driving new sectoral and spatial dynamics in European cities, regions, and countries, and how these may be influenced by international and global dynamics. It takes a purposeful geographical approach to the study of the creative industries across various Western, Central and Eastern European contexts since the 2008-2009 recession. Despite the growing research looking at the development of the creative industries in the last 15 years, there are still gaps in the coverage of what is happening in Central and Eastern Europe compared to Western Europe. This book addresses these gaps in two parts focusing on particular geographical scales and ...

Green Is Good
Priročnik je bil izdelan med izvajanjem projekta Urbane zelene površine (UGB) v okviru programa Interreg, Srednja Evropa, katerega glavni cilj je bil izboljšati zmogljivosti javnega sektorja na področju načrtovanja, upravljanja in odločanja, povezanega z urbanimi zelenimi površinami (UZP), ter na ta način ustvariti celostne trajnostne sisteme za načrtovanje in upravljanje UZP. Posebna pozornost je bila namenjena funkcionalnim urbanim območjem (FUO), funkcionalnim ekonomskim enotam, za katere so značilna gosto poseljena »urbana jedra« in »zaledja«, v katerih je trg dela močno povezan z jedri. Na podlagi primerjalne analize stanja so projektni partnerji skupaj zasnovali inovativne metode in orodja za spodbujanje trajnostnega upravljanja UZP. Predstavljeni priročnik je bil razvit predvsem kot model za vključevanje skupnosti. Predstavljene metode in orodja za izgradnjo skupnosti so bile preizkušene znotraj treh pilotnih območji, opravljenih v Mariboru (Slovenija), Krakovu (Poljska) in Budimpešti (Madžarska).
