Descripción del proyecto
Soluciones para ciudades en decrecimiento
Algunas ciudades reducirán su tamaño. El fenómeno del decrecimiento de las ciudades es multidimensional y tiene su origen en el declive urbano, que puede deberse a una serie de problemas, que van desde el agotamiento de los recursos naturales hasta la desindustrialización y la migración. Sea cual sea la causa, los estudios demuestran que el declive suele ser duradero y el decrecimiento supone una amenaza para la competitividad europea. En este contexto, el proyecto RE-CITY, financiado con fondos europeos, ofrecerá una perspectiva para el desarrollo sólido y sostenible de las ciudades en decrecimiento, respaldando a la vez elementos de prosperidad económica, habitabilidad, estabilidad social e innovación. El proyecto, que reúne a dieciséis socios de dentro y fuera de la comunidad científica e investigadora con experiencia en ordenación del territorio, geografía, economía y ciencias sociales, desarrollará soluciones para las ciudades en decrecimiento.
Objetivo
Processes of shrinkage are multidimensional phenomena encompassing cities, parts of cities, or regions that are experiencing a dramatic decline in their economic and social bases. While the causal factors are diverse and complex, the most evident factor in shrinkage is a loss of employment opportunities and out-migration of population. Previous research by the beneficiaries has pointed out that decline is enduring, and shrinkage is most probably jeopardizing the prosperity of European competitiveness. Moreover, experts, who are specifically trained in leadership and management of shrinkage processes, are in short supply throughout Europe.
Through this RE-CITY ETN, new approaches and success factores for shrinking cities will be explored and evaluated.
RE-CITY provides a perspective for the robust and sustainably sound development of shrinking cities, while supporting elements of economic prosperity, liveability, social stability and innovation.
This ETN will develop novel solutions for shrinking cities, and investigate case studies approaches for dealing with shrinking cities in terms of four innovative key themes: conceptualising shrinking smart, governing, greening/right-sizing, and regrowing shrinking cities. On this basis RE-CITY applications will be developed:
a tangible framework of tools and methods including planning instruments.
The RE-CITY ETN aims at training highly skilled experts for the four key themes of shrinking cities noted above, enabling them to act as leaders, mediators, and consultants of change while fostering innovative solutions and perspectives for these areas. These aims will be achieved by a structured training programme to provide expertise to multidisciplanary RE-CITY professionals by means of key scientific skills targeted to the requirements of shrinking cities, and to establish a long-lasting training programme with pioneer solutions for shrinking cities.
