From URBAN to EDIL (II).
The European Union as an actor in Urban Regeneration. An insight from local entities.
At a time when urban regeneration is emerging as an essential policy to address the main challenges we face as a society, and coinciding with the launch of the EDIL (Estrategias de Desarrollo Integrado, or Integrated Local Development Strategies) in the Spanish framework, it is important to highlight the experience of regeneration developed in our framework under the urban axis of the EU Cohesion Policy. This seminar will reflect on the instruments implemented, as well as on the future potential of the EU as an actor in the context of urban regeneration in order to achieve the objectives of the Green Deal.
The seminar programme draws on the experience of experts and municipal technicians implementing instruments of the urban axis of cohesion policy. This seminar follows on from a previous event, which was attended by experts from the Academy, and will be followed by a seminar with the participation of experts in regional urban regeneration policies, as well as representatives of the Autonomous Communities and the Central Government.
This event is part of the work of the Jean Monnet RegenEU Chair and its commitment to raise this issue to the attention of all the relevant stakeholders and generate a fruitful debate beyond the academic field.
