Future urban challenges and their links
The main challenge of the upcoming decades is to handle a series of challenges
economic (growing global competition)environmental (less renewable energy sources,
more carbon produced) demographic (ageing, migration)socio-spatial (migration with growing inclusion
problems, growing inequalities within society)
AT THE SAME TIME

Mono-sectoral answers are problematicFor each challenge „best” solution(s) can be found
Technological optimismConcentration of support on the most excellent
regionsRegulate migrationCreate new housing areas for the poorestCompact development within urban areas
However, these „best” solutions create huge externalities (negative outcomes) regarding the other challenges

Integrated answers are needed
Instead of mono-sectoral („best” for the given sector) interventions integrated answers are needed.The smart, sustainable and inclusive aspects of growth have to be linked to each other.
However, this is not at all easy. There are strong interests against integrated planning.

The crisis makes integration even more difficult
The financial crisis has changed all the conditions of development:• for a number of years there will be no (or only little) economic growth• the capacities of the public sector will be much more limited than so far• the tolerance level of the people (regarding inequalities and democracy deficits) is sharply decreasing

Integration: three different types
•Horizontal: between policy areas, aiming for coordination between the policy fields
•Vertical: between different levels of government, aiming for multi-level governance
•Territorial: between neighbouring municipalities, aiming for cooperation in functional urban areas

HORIZONTAL: between policy areasAvoiding silos of policy makingAll sectoral decisions should be controlled regarding their effects on other sectorsNeeds strong initiatives:
• policy schemes (national, regional or local) for integrated planning; • appropriate tools (for investments, for management); • special organizations managing the integrated process; • citizen participation
Integrated development might require sub-optimal solutions along each dimension in order to reach good balance between all dimensions

Good examples on policy integration› Neighbourhood regeneration: improving the
physical environment with measures helping local people into jobs and promote social and cultural cohesion• Duisburg area with 13 th people (RegGov; URBACT Results:54)
› Neighbourhood management: to bring local services together to address long-standing problems in the area. Participation of local communities is crucial.• Nijmegen Integrated Community Centre, with joined-up plan ‚Behind the front door’ to address anti-social behaviour (CoNet; URBACT Results:55)

VERTICAL: between government levels
Multilevel governance means sharing responsibilities between different levels of government ›Rationale: higher levels of government are concerned with outcomes at the lower level, agreeing in co-assignment of responsibilities Cities can strive for more integration, BUT cities can not achieve the most important goals without regional and national frameworksIn many cases local governments refuse any MLG intervention into their matters

Good example on MLG policy: a programme for the poorest communities
England: New Deal for Communities, 1998-2008•£2 billion, distributed over 10 years, was allocated to 39 areas, each containing around 4,000 households. Each of the areas received around £50 million•The following key issues were set on the agenda: reduce worklessness and crime and improve health, education, and community safety as well as housing and the environment. •Implementations included collaboration between agencies or initiatives. Local partnerships were formed between residents, community organisations, local authorities and local businesses

TERRITORIAL: coordination between neighbouring municipalities
Cooperation between neighbouring municipalities in functional urban areas is crucial to•avoid the negative effects of competition (investments, services, taxes) between local authorities •help to integrate policies – economic, environmental and social challenges can best be addressed at once on broader urban level •reach the economy of scale – size matters in economic terms and in services However, functional urban areas are undefined and usually weak in administrative-political sense

INTEGRATED APPROACH: application of all types of integration
Real integration means the application of all three integration mechanisms. This requires strategic planning and coordinated implementation of the integrated plan. Illustration: an elaborated decision on new shopping developments would need all three types of integration:•Horizontal•Vertical•Territorial

Push towards integrated thinking
Positive efforts and negative conditions might equally be important to achieve more integration. •financial crisis, lack of budget resources (Greece, Spain, Ireland)•natural disasters (flood as pusher for integration around Prague)•push from the top: national government policies (e.g. FR, GE…)•efforts of the local leadership towards integration (e.g enlightened mayor)•from the side of some stakeholders (e.g. business community, …)

Optimal conditions for well performing integrated development structures
Appropriate governance structure and institutional background are both needed on appropriate territorial level
• Almost good examples: Stuttgart and French cities

The reality of integrated approach in European cities
Eurocities „Metropolitan Areas In Action” research (40 European cities) on the territorial and functional aspects of collaboration forms around large European cities•spatial dimension of collaboration compared to FUA•types of content/functions of cooperation: from loose talks through single or more functions till strong joint multi-functional planning •types of institutional form of cooperation: from no form or statistical unit through weak delegated council till strong (elected or delegated) council

Optimal conditions for integrated development
Civil servants and politicians are needed who understand the different types of integration and push for all of these
• Efforts taken to include civil servants into knowledge exchange and to train politicians: URBACT (and other ETC programmes)
