This book offers a European perspective on spatial planning and
welfare policies in relation to the new conditions derived from the
current urban crisis. The book deals with research and policy
issues stemming from the fact that in the last ten years European
cities have been affected by a structural crisis, not only
financial but also a social, environmental and spatial, leading to
an economic collapse. The crisis and its consequences due to
political, financial and social conflicts contribute to increasing
a city's complexity in terms of decrease of public finance,
slowdowns in the real estate market, economic stagnation and the
reduction of the consolidated welfare policies. In light of this,
this book proposes to reframe European urban welfare towards a
"framework-rule" perspective. It is based on new rules and
responsibilities as a path to change that would enable cities to
respond to new circumstances through innovative actions thanks to
co-production. The book focuses on the potential of this approach,
identifying innovative perspectives for researchers, institutions
and practitioners in the field of urban and regional planning. It
also addresses the growth of civic initiatives all over Europe in
which citizens and private business are engaged for the
self-delivery of urban facilities, while jointly identifying issues
and needs, and trying to solve problems with innovative and
inclusive responses. This book will appeal to students and
researchers along with a professional and policy audience due to
the topical nature of the contents.
This book brings together a series of theory and practice essays on
risk management and adaptation in urban contexts within a resilient
and multidimensional perspective. The book proposes a transversal
approach with regard to the role of spatial planning in promoting
and fostering risk management as well as institutions' challenges
for governing risk, particularly in relation to new forms of
multi-level governance that may include stakeholders and citizen
engagement. The different contributions focus on approaches,
policies, and practices able to contrast risks in urban systems
generating social inclusion, equity and participation through
bottom-up governance forms and co-evolution principles. Case
studies focus on lessons learned, as well as the potential and
means for their replication and upscaling, also through capacity
building and knowledge transfer. Among many other topics, the book
explores difficulties encountered in, and creative solutions found,
community and local experiences and capacities, organizational
processes and integrative institutional, technical approaches to
risk issue in cities.
