Abstract
Strategic city projects as a strategic planning tool: an overview of terms and models
Highlights
Economic and social changes at the macro and micro levels reflect on space by changing spatial and functional structure of a city
Traditional sectoral spatial planning focusing on location, intensity, form, and balanced development is losing ground to strategic spatial planning offering more coherent and coordinated spatial logic and integration of economic, social, and environmental dimensions of urban planning, programming, and construction (Salet and Faludi, 2000; Albrechts, 2006; 2010)
Taking the hypothesis that a strategic city project is not clearly defined in scientific and technical literature as a starting point, this paper aims to define strategic city projects as a potential tool for urban development planning and to determine criteria for their selection
Summary
Economic and social changes at the macro and micro levels reflect on space by changing spatial and functional structure of a city. Demographic, social, technological, economic, cultural, and environmental changes are global trigger factors (Pacione, 2009) of these processes, with economy generally being considered as a dominant force. These triggers underlie contemporary changes in the city, as well as the most significant results and consequences of these processes for the city. Traditional sectoral spatial planning focusing on location, intensity, form, and balanced development is losing ground to strategic spatial planning offering more coherent and coordinated spatial logic and integration of economic, social, and environmental dimensions of urban planning, programming, and construction (Salet and Faludi, 2000; Albrechts, 2006; 2010)
