Dynamics of deprived neighbourhoods in the URBACT cities
Edited on
09 October 2017The development of deprived urban areas in Europe has always been a central concern for the URBACT programme. The French General Secretariat for urban and social development (SGCIV) highlights the results of URBACT projects related to the development of deprived neighbourhoods in a publication entitled "Dynamics of deprived neighbourhoods in the URBACT cities" (only available in French).
From the outputs of five URBACT projects (CoNet, RegGov, TOGETHER, LC-FACIL and NODUS), the General Secretariat for urban and social development has been conducted a synthesis of their results that highlights the practices of European cities related to the development of deprived neighbourhoods.
The described projects in the publication assume that people should remain at the heart of public policy in charge of addressing the problems of unemployment, health, safety and more broadly deteriorating housing and living environment of their neighbourhoods. The issue of governance – and especially the involvement of business and civil society in projects and management of those territories – were also at the heart of exchanges.
Selected examples illustrate throughout the publication the diversity of areas designated as "in difficulty" as well as approaches developed by the involved cities based on the different contexts and the specific cultural environments.
