    The “Green Line” project for a “green” Bistrița city

    Over the last 10 years, congestion in the city of Bistrița has continued to worsen with an increase in the number of cars on the roads and an intensification of road traffic. This has led to the rise in air pollution caused by transport and an overcrowding of parking areas. Nevertheless, urban public transport still has an important role in the development of cities, facilitating the population's access to jobs and services

  • Transfer-Netzwerk „Welcoming International Talent“ setzt Groningens gutes Beispiele auf lokale Kontexte um

    Europäische Städte werden immer internationaler und multikultureller. Vielen großen Städten kommt das in Bezug auf fehlende Arbeitskräfte zugute. Klein- und Mittelstädte haben es jedoch nicht einfach Studierende, Akademiker:innen und Wissenschaftler:innen zu gewinnen. Sie stehen auf der einen Seite vor einer wachsenden lokalen Wirtschaft; gleichzeitig müssen sie aber mit  einer alternden Bevölkerung und einer schrumpfendenden Zahl an Arbeitskräften umgehen. Im URBACT Transfer-Netzwerk „Welcoming International Talent“ demonstrierte die niederländische URBACT „Good-Practice-Stadt“ Groningen wie sie es mit ihrer Willkommenspolitik geschafft hat, internationale Studierende und Fachkräfte anzuziehen und dauerhaft an die Stadt zu binden – und vor allem, wie dieser erfolgreiche Ansatz auf die Partnerstädte des Netzwerkes übertragen werden kann. Zum Ende der Projektlaufzeit stellen wir die Ergebnisse der Netzwerkarbeit vor, die auf dem Abschlussevent am 13. April 2021 präsentiert wurden.

  • NEXT AGRI

    The NEXT AGRI UIA - URBACT Transfer Mechanism pilot network builds from the experience of Milan. The city decided to set up an urban coalition with a series of partners to scale up this positioning in the peri-urban agricultural industry, setting up a stable growth and creating new jobs and skills. The project is mainly an urban policy experimentation that follows the place-based approach, focusing on new skills for new jobs in peri-urban agriculture. The project area can be defined as an “urban fringe”, representing the transition zone between the consolidated part of the city and the agricultural lands.This project aims at transfer to other 3 cities the processes and strategies implemented to create a favourable environment to develop new opportunities in the food system transformation in the urban and per urban agriculture sector.

  • USE-IT

    Larger capital projects in poor neighbourhoods often do not lead to an improvement in the socio-economic situation of the local population. The USE-IT UIA - URBACT Transfer Mechanism pilot network shares a tested approach that directly links the realisation of larger capital projects - here construction of a new hospital - with the improvement of the socio-economic situation of the population based on the existing local community skills, talents and ideas.
