Principles of the Programme
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
Pan-regional not spatially targeted, linking instances of good practice
between weak and strong areas
Linked to RES (and CSG; NSRF)
Sustainability is the key theme: sustainable production and
consumption; sustainable communities
Innovation runs through programme as a “golden thread”
Weighting system to apply after projects reach quality threshold to
help achieve specific objectives, eg soft landing for current Objective 2
areas; build-up maximum impact in Assisted Areas; promote intraregional linkages; promote innovative actions
Competitiveness & sustainability applies to all sectors including public/
ngo
Avoid proliferation of projects (small programme: €21m over 7 years)
Avoid proliferation of business support projects (in line with national
drive)

THREE FIELDS OF ACTIVITY
Windsor, 30 November 2006
„MAŁOPOLSKA 2015”
Małopolska’s challenges:
1. Competence-related challenges– how to become a partner and a true participant in the
international race of skills and competence?
2. Technological challenges – how to catch up with the most developed and technologically
advanced regions?
3. Social advancement related challenges – how to ensure relative equality and high quality
of public services and standards of living addressing the aspirations of inhabitants?
4. Environmental challenges – how to ensure sustainability of the natural environment and the
high quality of the spatial environment in the face of strong development pressure and
economic aspirations?
5. Symbolical challenges – how to build a modern image of the region, convincing for the
developed world, and at the same time to retain and cherish one's own unique identity?
6. Political challenges – how to ensure the high quality and autonomy of regional development
policy which would permit the implementation of the strategy adopted, how to best involve the
social partners and civil society?

Questions about development
 Will we have enough time to support competitiveness focusing our
resources and time on pro-cohesion activities ?
 Does Małopolska and other Polish regions have time to follow
traditional path of development (first infrastructure, and then
innovations)?
 Is it possible to choose a „short-cut” on the way of achieving
competitiveness, skipping cohesion phase?

POLICY IMPACT IN
THE GROW REGIONS
EMILIA-ROMAGNA, ITALY
The sustainability concept of the EmiliaRomagna Region
Competitiveness, environment protection and social inclusion in
Emilia Romagna
Windsor, November 30, 2006
Stefano Marani
Senior advisor for Spatial Economy
& Regional Development Programmes
Some Emilia-Romagna development
descriptors
From being one of the poorest italian regions
(beginning of XXth century), E-R achieved
 a per capita income higher than italian/european
average;
 the best service network for persons and families;
 the highest % of students, attracting young people
from all Italy;
 the location of a number of well
developed/advanced industrial districts in different
sectors (from machinery to biomedicals).
Urban sprawl, a development
“collateral damage”..
1976-2001: aprox. + 100% in
urbanised land, esp. in
Municipalities
from 5.000 to 20.000 inhab.
A governance for
sustainability
the development of towns and regions is
more and more dependent from globalization
of economic and social relationships;
 spatial issues of development can be better
faced through cooperation between different
administrative/government levels
(governance);
 spatial approach overcomes sectoral
approach of development policies, through
cooperation between institutions and sectors
operating on the same territory.
The Regional Territorial Plan
Socio-cultural System

Quality
(ESDP)
Economic

Environmental System
Identity
Sustainability concepts, goals
for territorial competitiveness
Quality: building contexts rich in opportunities, wellpreserved landscapes, social and environmental resources
sustainable use
Efficiency: compact settlements to reduce sprawl, social
services cost minimization, cost reduction for
technological/environmental infrastructures
Identity of local communities: belonging sense to the “real
town” beyond administrative boundaries, to cultural and work
relationships of the community, the region, the global
economic and cultural networks
Core strategic issues
Urban centers networking: settlements common planning to manage
“real town”, cost/benefit equitable; networking of utilities infrastructures and
of high level services, re-qualification of the central Emilia and the coast,
recovery of the Apennines and Po river lowlands from its marginal position;
Ecological networks re-construction: “to besiege” urban spaces with
“ecosystemic infrastructure”, renewable energy promotion, water and
materials sustainable use, environmental quality and safety;
Knowledge economy promotion: against competitiveness loss,
promoting change from material to non-material economy, based on
research and innovation, broadband for local systems’ public and private
actors, logistics (vs. transportation infrastructure), continuing education,
culture;
A new welfare: health and advanced services for citizens, targeting in
particular non-self sufficient elderly people, immigrants skills qualification;
multicultural integration.
From a governance perspective,
this means..
presently, no institutional level can manage by itself
development and social cohesion issues: integration in
economic, social and environmental planning strategies
is a must;
institutional partnership need to be promoted and enforced
in a contractual way, with clear commitments among partners
(participation and cooperation);
development actions need a proper territorial scale
(subsidiarity);
evaluation (ex-ante, in itinere, ex-post) must become the
“communication language” of institutional partnership.
The Special Area Programs
SAP are integrated investiment plans,
pubblic and public/private;
 proposed by a local system to solve
problems/catch opportunities;
 limited time and budget;
 subsidiarity principle-based;
 useful to implement local multi-actor
strategies, multi-fund investment, networking
for local resources development;
 aimed at creating administrative, social and
entrepreneurial environement to attract
investments.
The Priority axis 2 of the Ob.
2 SPD
Priority axis 2 deals with territorial dev.;
 aimed at “distance reduction” from the
most advanced regional areas;
 subdivided into 3 territorial measures (Po
river lowlands, Appenines and Central plain
(phasing out);
 different context and objectives;
based on negotaited programming among
institution, social and economic actors;
 “Program Conferences”, to decide project
to be realized and define Local Dev. Plans;
 two 3-years program periods
Rural Dev. Plan - Priority III – integrated
dev. actions
Mountain area
• Rural roads/afforestation
• Water network improvement
• Support to farmers for land conservation
•Rural villages recovery
• Renewable energy
• Hydrogeological risk prevention
Negotiated rural development
plans at province level
Po river plain
•Modernisation of rural infrastructures
• Landscape conservation
•Rural/naturalistic tourism promotion
•Ecological network reconstruction
•Integrated territorial marketing projects for
traditional productions
Plans and programs sustainability is
assessed by..
Eco-industrial development projects, shared among Local
Authorities, for greening local industrial estates;
Accountability to citizens on social and environmental of
choices, through Agenda XXI processes presently and/or
EMS of Local Authorities;
Strategic Impact Assessment of european and
regional/local plans and programs:
– SEA to SPD and Rural dev. Plan;
– ValSAT (TIA-sound) to territorial/spatial planning tools (e.g. urban
dev., environmental management plans, ect.)
