Place-based strategies are widely discussed as powerful instruments
of economic and community development. In terms of European debate,
the local level - cities, towns, neighbourhoods - has recently come
under increased scrutiny as a potentially decisive actor in
Cohesion Policy. As understandings of socio-spatial and economic
cohesion evolve, the idea that spatial justice requires a concerted
policy response has gained currency. Given the political, social
and economic salience of locale, this book explores the potential
contribution of place-based initiative to more balanced and
equitable socio-economic development, as well as growth in a more
general sense. The overall architecture of the book and the
individual chapters address place-based perspectives from a number
of vantage points, including the potential of achieving greater
effectiveness in EU and national level development policies,
through a greater local level and citizens role and concrete
actions for achieving this; enhancing decision-making autonomy by
pooling local capacities for action; linking relative local
autonomy to development outcomes and viewing spatial justice as a
concept and policy goal. The book highlights, though the use of
case studies, how practicable and actionable knowledge can be
gained from local development experiences. This book targets
researchers, practitioners and students who seek to learn more
about place-based based development and its potentials. Its
cross-cutting focus on spatial justice and place will ensure the
book is of wider international interest.
