Art. 8

Sustainable Urban Development

 

The study is based on a survey to institutional stakeholders and on the analysis of 13 Operational Programmes (OPs) selected among 8 old MS (France, Germany, Netherlands, Italy, Portugal, Spain, Sweden, UK) and 6 new MS (Bulgaria, Czech Republic, Lithuania, Poland, Romania); among them 7 regions are eligible under the Convergence Objective and 6 under the Competitiveness and Employment Objective. The examination of these case studies responds to the following questions:

_ How the concept of sustainable, integrated, participated, urban development, the object of Art. 8 of EC regulations 1080/2006, is defined and strategically addressed toward implementation by Managing Authorities and Cities;

_ How well national and regional regulatory frameworks and governance schemes respond to the ERDF procedures and JESSICA;

_ How and to what extent actions regarding sustainable integrated urban development present in the OPs are being implemented; and

_ What lessons can be drawn for the future cohesion policy with regard to the effectiveness of the mainstreaming of sustainable urban development.

Memory and Resistance

In this article, we introduce the experience of the network of Museums of Memory and Resistance in Rio de Janeiro, presenting in particular the case of the Museo da Maré. Our encounter with such bottom-up cultural space derives from the involvement in the EU Marie Curie rise project CoCreation, which provided the opportunity to spend a few months researching in Rio de Janeiro with the aim of developing and testing co-creation methodologies in disadvantaged neighbourhoods.
