European Cities After COVID-19 by Tobias Just,Franziska Plößl Pdf
This book develops key messages for city stakeholders: how can cities and properties adapt to this crisis and how can public and private actors help to make cities more resilient in the long run. The book is addressed to actors from the real estate industry and the city, to project developers, architects, planners, engineers, financiers, investors and asset managers - and to everyone who lives and works in cities.
"Next Generation EU" Cities by Anna Lisa Boni,Andrea Tobia Zevi Pdf
As the world enters a new year, the Covid-19 pandemic is still upsetting our daily lives. And as 75% of EU citizens live in urban areas, cities are the most prominent stage both for responding to the health crisis, and for seizing opportunities to recover and move forward. Meanwhile, in 2020, EU countries agreed to Next Generation EU, a €750 billion recovery package that represents a once-in-a-generation opportunity.This report argues that cities should be given more say over how post-pandemic national recovery plans pan out between here and 2026, when all projects are supposed to be wrapping up. Indeed, the success of the EU recovery plans will hinge upon what cities do, or they don’t do over the next five years. How are cities rethinking their role within the “twin” green and digital transitions? How can they achieve gender parity, reduce inequalities, and preserve a vibrant cultural life?
Borderline City by Bentlin, Felix,Höfler, Jürgen,Million, Angela Pdf
Even before the spread of COVID 19 across the globe during the crisis of 2020, cities and regions acted as venues and drivers for a dualistic development dynamic by both creating and dissolving borders. The results obtained from various university seminars and a European summer school form the basis for a crisis manuscript, while serving to review the planning and design activities in different European cities and regions. For the first time ever, a network of students from the urban planning and design departments at 19 European universities have defined common requirements for crisis-resistant and people-friendly urban planning in Europe: On the one hand, crisis-related experiences act as catalysts for fundamental social, economic, and ecological changes, and, on the other hand, they accelerate changes that are already underway with regard to urban development policies. The crisis and border situations explored in this joint investigation extend beyond the mere operating principles of European cities and regions. In fact, as an endurance test and didactic example, they provide a guide for crisis-proof urban renewal in Europe. They lead the way in building a bridge between the European architecture and planning disciplines to create vibrant border landscapes. Bereits vor der weltweiten Ausbreitung des Covid-19-Virus im Krisenjahr 2020 waren Städte und Regionen Austragungsorte und Treiber einer dualistischen Entwicklungsdynamik von Entgrenzung und Abgrenzung. Ergebnisse aus der Hochschullehre und einer europäischen Sommerschule eröffnen ein Palimpsest der Krisen und eine Überprüfung europäischer Planung und Gestaltung von Städten und Regionen. Erstmals erarbeitete ein Netzwerk aus Studierenden von 19 europäischen Universitäten im Bereich Planung und Stadtgestaltung eine Formulierung gemeinsamer Anforderungen für eine krisensichere und menschengerechte Stadtentwicklung in Europa: Einerseits sind Krisenerfahrungen Impulsgeber für grundlegende Veränderungen in Gesellschaft, Wirtschaft und Ökologie, andererseits wirken sie als Beschleuniger bereits vorhandener Veränderungen in der Stadtentwicklungspolitik. Die gemeinsam hinterfragten Krisen- und Grenzsituationen zeigen nicht nur die Funktionsweisen europäischer Städte und Regionen auf. Vielmehr vermitteln sie als Belastungs- und Lehrproben einen Leitfaden für einen krisenfesten Stadtumbau in Europa. Wegweisend entwickeln sie einen europäischen Brückenschlag der Architektur- und Planungsdisziplin zur Gestaltung lebendiger Grenzlandschaften.
Cultural Mega-Events and Heritage by Davide Ponzini Pdf
This book analyses case studies of heritage-rich cities that hosted mega-events to discuss emerging challenges, controversies, and accomplishments. The future of mega-events has never been more uncertain. The ongoing COVID-19 pandemic has introduced an unparalleled level of doubt regarding the kind of mega-events that will take place in the coming years. This book arrives at a quite unique moment of reflection. Prior to 2020, cities were already questioning the traditional format of mega-events (e.g. Olympics and Expo) while other cultural mega-events have been spreading and gaining popularity, thanks in part to typically lower costs of infrastructures and venues, far more adaptable arrangements, spatial distribution and time frame for hosting. In these ways, they have already been demonstrating higher flexibility in which to respond to future health and safety constraints. When it comes to the relation to the existing city, cultural mega-events have been planned, implemented, and studied far more than any other. By leveraging the richness of cultural mega-events, this multidisciplinary collection deepens the intersection between events and cultural heritage. The chapters in this book provide a new theoretical framework, critical questions, and relevant case studies to argue that the nexus between mega-events and heritage is a key challenge for many cities in Europe and beyond. The chapters in this book were originally published as a special issue of European Planning Studies.

European Cultural and Creative Cities in COVID-19 Times by V. Montalto,P. L. Sacco,V. Alberti,F. Panella,M. Saisana Pdf
Empty cultural places, drastically reduced mobility and tourism blockade as an effect of COVID-19 confinement measures not only generate an evident economic damage to cultural institutions, companies and workers but also create a strong economic and social discomfort at city level. Although many EU member states are now entering into a de-confinement phase, many cultural places remain closed or subject to stringent physical-distancing measures. In these new circumstances, one main condition for the sustainability of most cultural and creative sectors (CCS) has been almost entirely disrupted: the possibility to have a public 'live' as a source of revenues to meet operating costs, putting more than seven million jobs at risk in Europe. Using cultural jobs statistics from Eurostat and the JRC's Cultural and Creative Cities Monitor, this report identifies highly vulnerable cultural jobs and creative cities. Despite the unprecedented challenges raised by the COVID-19 pandemic, some cities are already experimenting new event formats to better reach local inhabitants and nearby communities, while ensuring the financial sustainability of cultural activities. Both national and city governments have issued a wide range of policy measures (from compensatory grants to tax reliefs) to maintain alive Europe's cultural capital, while giving cultural institutions, companies and workers the time to get prepared to post-COVID times. Proximity tourism could indeed help compensate losses from international tourism, while new cultural services that meet societal needs (educational, health, environmental...) would help restore the European social fabric and people's well-being.
The Impact of COVID on Cities and Regions by Peter K. Kresl,Mattia Bertin Pdf

Public Policy and the Impact of COVID-19 in Europe by Magdalena Tomala,Maryana Prokop,Aleksandra Kordonska Pdf
This book analyses Europe’s COVID-19 response provided by governments and societies, to assess its influence on the economy from both a short- and long-term perspective. The authors argue that there are three key factors that determine how successful a given country is. The first is the determination and effectiveness of the government. The second is the capacity of states and their healthcare systems in times of crisis. The third is society’s willingness to adhere to emergency measures and to cooperate with authorities. The book examines the government policy of EU states during the pandemic; studies the behaviour of EU societies; reveals the influence of the pandemic crisis on the economy of EU states and formulates a successful strategy to counteract the challenges wrought by the pandemic. The book will appeal to scholars and researchers engaged in the fields of economic and political science, global studies and international relations. Furthermore, it will also be addressed to policy makers of European States as it contains a complex analysis of their policy responses and the corresponding impact on European economy and society.
Coping with the Pandemic in Fragile Cities by Gabriele Pasqui Pdf
This book explores the effects of covid-19 crisis on cities and urban areas and proposes approaches and solutions to invert the pandemic's negative impact. The covid-19 crisis has had significant impacts on public health, on the everyday lives of millions of people, and on the use of urban spaces at all levels. All over the world, cities have been at the forefront of a crisis that have worsened socio-spatial inequalities between regions and inside urban areas. The book examines three aspects of the connection between pandemic and urban issues: the relevance of spatial and territorial variables in the explanation of pandemic dynamics and consequences in fragile cities; the assumption of radical uncertainty as the conceptual framework for a new approach to urban planning, in a phase of raise of public investments; and the design of urban policies aimed at facing the material and symbolic effects of pandemic on the practices of use of spaces and places, in a context characterized by a plurality of populations and forms of life.
Potential Impacts of COVID-19 on Regions and Cities of the EU. by Anonim Pdf
What potential impacts will the COVID-19 pandemic have on regions and cities in the EU? Based on COVID-19 outbreaks, lockdown policies and the debate on recovery measures as at June 2020, this report provides some answers. It helps build a better understanding of the territorial dimension of COVID-19 policy responses. It also looks to contribute to shaping EU recovery measures that appropriately reflect Europe's territorial diversity, the need for a recovery in line with the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and for a multilevel governance approach.
Urban Mobility After COVID-19 by Hannah Abdullah Pdf
Resumen: "para cumplir con el Pacto Verde y volverse climáticamente neutral para 2050, la Unión Europea debe reducir las emisiones de gases de efecto invernadero relacionadas con el transporte en un 90%. El transporte es uno de los pocos sectores en el que las emisiones son más altas en la actualidad que en 1990 y, a pesar de los esfuerzos de mitigación, siguen aumentando. Las ciudades son cruciales para lograr este ambicioso objetivo, ya que representan el 40% del transporte total por carretera en la UE. Los gobiernos locales y las partes interesadas urbanas también están impulsando la transición hacia la movilidad sostenible a través de la experimentación urbana y la innovación. La crisis del COVID-19 ha demostrado que se pueden lograr cambios drásticos en el transporte urbano si existe la voluntad política. Sin embargo, las medidas tácticas implementadas a menudo han sido iniciativas temporales o independientes que no están integradas en las vías de transición de la movilidad a más largo plazo. Este volumen explora cómo las ciudades de Europa pueden desarrollar planes de movilidad a largo plazo más sólidos y socialmente justos, permitiéndoles contribuir de manera efectiva al objetivo climático intermedio de la UE de reducir las emisiones en un 55% para 2030 y su objetivo de cero neto para 2050. Examina ambas oportunidades para acelerar el cambio, desde reformas de políticas hasta intervenciones urbanas, asociaciones de múltiples partes interesadas e innovaciones en la economía social, así como las barreras para la planificación y transformación a largo plazo, desde la aceptación pública hasta las limitaciones políticas, financieras, legales y técnicas"
