 SUD - Sustainable Urban Development
Location of Activities: Belarus, Georgia, Ukraine,
Theme: Economic Development and Social Inclusion
Sector: Good Governance
Lead Partner:
Municipality of Ukrainka (Ukraine);
Contact: Valentyna POLTAVETS - email: ukrainka_town@ukr.net
Ukraine has 349 small depressed towns with a population of 10.000- 50.000, comprising 22% of the population. There are 60 towns of this kind in Belarus. In Georgia, around 43% of the entire population resides in small towns. These towns tend to have a single industry and in general a lack of diversity and low productivity, resulting in considerable poverty, tension and depression. This has resulted in growing numbers of vulnerable and marginalized people. |

Lead Partner:
Barcelona City Council (Spain);
Contact: Xavier Godás - email: xgodas@bcn.cat
The cities of Fes, Tangier and Ghobayré are currently experiencing rapid population growth, immigration and a concentration of vulnerable populations. This challenges local authorities to develop strategies to enhance sustainable human and economic development for the benefit of all citizens, particularly those in vulnerable communities. |
 Liaisons for Growth
Location of Activities: Armenia, Jordan,
Sector: Economic Development and Employment
Sector: Sustainable Tourism
Sector: Good Governance
Lead Partner:
Tuscany regional administration – Dept. of reg. policies on innovation (Italy)
Contact: Catia SEGNINI - email: catia.segnini@farmaremma.it
Jordan and Armenia have considerable potential to develop their tourist industries – and face considerable challenges to develop it. The idea behind this project is to work with local networks to develop models for sustainable tourism, especially in smaller more marginalized regions. Indeed such is the priority ascribed to working with these networks that the project is categorized as a good governance project, whose focus will “not be on what they are doing, but how they are doing it”. |
 PPRU - Partnership for urban renewal towards regional economic development
Location of Activities: Jordan, Lebanon,
Sector: Economic Development and Employment
Sector: Sustainable Tourism
Sector: Good Governance
Lead Partner:
Province of Turin (Italy);
Contact: Mario ARTUSO - email: mario.artuso@provincia.torino.it
The operational capacity of local authorities as well as the physical conditions within small local communities, both in Lebanon and Jordan, needs to be enhanced. They lack both funding and skills. But these can be addressed by helping them build networks that bring together the administration, the private sector, and civil society in a collaboration that benefits everyone. |
 RKM Save Urban Heritage
Location of Activities: Russian Federation, Ukraine,
Theme: Economic Development and Social Inclusion
Sector: Good Governance
Sector: Cultural Heritage
Lead Partner:
Municipality of Rome – Department of Cultural Policies and Communication (Italy);
Contact: Luca MILAN - email: l.milan@awn.it; Rosanna PALERMO rosanna@moorroom.org
Moscow and Ukraine are two very important centres of the Russian avant-garde architectural movement of the 1920s and 30s. Since the 1990s, however, little money has gone into conserving these buildings. With many developers and architects considering it cheaper to replace rather than to preserve, iconic examples of this cultural and architectural heritage have more recently been threatened by numerous development projects. This in turn threatens the distinctive character and cultural specificities of Moscow and Kiev. |
