Накратко на български

Зеленото обновяване на градове като Виена и Копенхаген се анализира чрез влиянието му върху социалното равенство. Това помага да се разбере дали екологичните политики водят до ново разделение между гражданите и неравномерно разпределение на ресурсите.

Green and Diverse Cities. The social impact of urban policies for sustainability in comparative perspective.

The GRAND Cities Project has been oriented to investigate the social implication, in terms of spatial and social justice, of green urban renewal in Europe. Many European Cities are indeed strongly committed to foster several programs to make cities environmentally friendly, competitive in the global market and oriented to social inclusiveness. However, these aims seem to be difficult to reach at the same time, and sustainability is today far from being an effective paradigm, being too broad, vague and economically centred, and with no specific social dimensions clearly set out. Additionally, as the academic literature highlights, the concept is suitable to promote unexpected social consequences in terms of unequal distribution of social, economic and environmental resources among citizens as well as new spatial inequalities. Aim of the GRAND Cities project has been to investigate the social implications of urban policies for sustainability, such as green urban renewal and new urban development areas lead by sustainable principles, in European Cities. It has aimed to answer to the following research questions. What are the impacts of the green urban renewal projects promoted by many European Cities on the socio-spatial configuration of the urban context? Are categories such as green gentrification and processes of self-segregation due to the construction of eco-district helpful to understand urban changes taking place in EU cities? Through this research project the Experienced Researcher (ER) has contributed to fill a gap in the literature, analyzing in a comparative perspective, the social implication of green urban renewal in Vienna and Copenhagen.

Цел на проекта

The need for more sustainable cities has been considered a key point of global strategy for the future and one of the most important aims of the EU strategy for the urban environment. However, sustainability can also be described as one piece of rhetoric; far from being an effective paradigm, being too broad, vague and economically-centred, and with no specific social dimensions clearly set out. Although the attention to social inclusion, especially in the most deprived urban areas, is an important pillar of urban sustainability, a clear evaluation of the social impacts of sustainability programs in EU Cities is still missing. This investigation aims to fill this gap, by analysing, in comparative perspective, the social impacts of green renewal and development in Europe. By selecting as case studies Vienna and Copenhagen, two cities that have been particularly successful in implementing policies of environmental sustainability, the research project aims to identify intended and unintended impacts of these strategies in terms of social and spatial inequality among social groups. The project will adopt the following research strategies: quantitative data gathering; interviews with key informants in cities; ethnographic research in areas of the cities affected by green urban renewal and programs for sustainability; comparative analysis of data and information.As far as the results expected for the ER by this period of training, they are primarily the following: to acquire specialized knowledge on Comparative Urban sociology; to consolidate the ER’s methodological skills in regards to mixed methods of analysis; to develop the ER’s multicultural communication skills by conducting empirical research in German; to publish two scientific articles and a volume with an international publisher. The MSCA fellowship will give her the opportunity to further consolidate her professional maturity in order to enter the EU academic job market with a tenure-track position.
