URBAN DESIGN GOVERNANCE - Exploring formal and informal means of improving spatial quality in cities across Europe and beyond

Descripción del proyecto

Rediseñar las ciudades europeas en aras de mejorar la calidad del espacio

Rediseñar las ciudades europeas es fundamental para el desarrollo urbano. Urban MAESTRO examina la manera en que se diseñan y financian estas ciudades, centrándose en formas innovadoras de generar y poner en práctica la calidad espacial urbana. Estas modalidades de gobernanza urbana, incluidas las plataformas de diseño de múltiples partes interesadas y los mecanismos de negociación de calidad, ayudan a actuar como facilitadores o intermediarios clave en el proceso. El objetivo de Urban MAESTRO es explorar estos temas en profundidad, lo que ayudará a fortalecer la comprensión mundial de la gobernanza innovadora del diseño urbano. Asimismo, contribuirá a hacer realidad la Nueva Agenda Urbana de la Unión Europea para 2030.

Objetivo

The proposed action: URBAN DESIGN GOVERNANCE, to be known as Urban Maestro, looks at the ways European cities are being designed and financed, focusing on innovative ways of generating and implementing urban spatial quality: the “soft power” modalities of urban design governance. Soft power modalities refer to those approaches where public authorities act in an informal capacity as enablers or brokers rather than through formal regulatory or direct investment powers. Examples include multi-stakeholder design platforms, bouwmeesters, city-architects, quality negotiation mechanisms and the like. The action will focus on these processes and how they are being used to shape cities through means short of regulation, direct design or development.

To explore these issues the work programme will seek to map out the design governance landscape in jurisdictions across Europe (hard and soft / formal and informal); burrow down into their workings via a series of pan-European workshops; contrast experiences in Europe to international practices elsewhere; use the initiative to build a long-term network for sharing best practice; and support policy uptake focussed on the drive to urban quality across the continent, and globally.

Urban Maestro will strengthen the global understanding of innovative urban design governance. It will contribute to accelerate the realization of the New Urban Agenda and the 2030 Agenda in the EU, and reinforce the global urban debate on qualitative aspects of urban development.
