Moreover, the walkability and transit accessibility of a CBD is crucial to its vibrancy. The study uses methodology derived from existing literature on walkability, urban marketing approaches (Ashworth, G. J. – Voogd, H. 1990), to assess and compare the image and nation branding of Central and Kwun Tong. It is found that Kwun Tong’s urban fabric, inherited from its industrial past, is a factor leading to the lower walkability of the CBD. Moreover, the transit accessibility of Kwun Tong is found to be far behind Central.

An important finding of the case study is that the Tokaj TAK addressed not only those who wanted to build properties in Tokaj, i.e. architects and contractors, but tourists, too. The Tokaj TAK therefore is an example how a city image manual designated for investors and builders can serve as a tool of urban marketing as well.

Edited by Salamin, Géza – Jeney, László AB - Based on the facts that financial intermediary system has crucial impacts on national economic growth, territorial cohesion and local economic development as well, financial instruments and their intermediary institutions could play a greater role in territorial development. This paper aims to give a brief overview about the financial instruments’ role in development policy in the EU and in Hungary, to highlight the special features of the Hungarian delivery system (2007–2013), and to identify the risks and challenges on local economic development in the current development period (2014–2020). The background research was based on the analyses of the Hungarian strategic development policy documents (Partnership Agreement, operational programmes) and the activity data of the institutional system, which managed the repayable funds between 2007–2013.

Edited by Salamin, Géza – Jeney, László AB - The paper addresses the challenges that Bulgarian cities of today face in developing strategic planning instruments for sustainable mobility. Large Bulgarian cities have been developing integrated urban transport projects (IUTP) since the previous programming period (2007–2013); the plans should be upgraded during the current programming period (2014–2020). The sustainable urban mobility plans (SUMP), developed as strategic instruments of EU urban policy, have been already acknowledged by many cities in the country as part of the overall strategic development framework. Yet, the efforts of local authorities in taking action for mobility improvement have in some cases faced lack of awareness on urgent local imperatives and contradictory views among different stakeholders on the way to overcome difficulties. The analysis undertaken by the authors aims to outline: (a) the effectiveness of the policy measures already introduced in the country; (b) the opportunities for a more effective implementation of EU urban policy instruments; and (c) the degree to which local public authorities appreciate citizens’ involvement in the process as an important success factor. Conclusions are drawn about the importance of lessons learned on both sides – by Bulgarian urban authorities and experts, in developing current mobility development framework; and by EU policies in supportively addressing the spatial, economic and socio–cultural context of urban mobility policy implementation in Bulgaria.

Edited by Salamin, Géza – Jeney, László AB - The focus of this article is about challenges and experiences with dialogue oriented civic participation in urban development processes in Germany. The article builds on the implementation and evaluation of several participatory processes, which were realised in eleven German cities since 2012. In Germany, civic participation has become an integral part of planning practice in most communal authorities in the past decades and especially in the last fifteen years. Many methods for participatory planning processes have been developed and municipal authorities set up their own guidelines for good participation. Unfortunately, within the context of post-democratic trends, public participation in local politics has received the same criticism from political scientists, as has the representative democracy. In many cases, instead of being an effective instrument for feedback between state and citizens, it reproduces social injustice. The article analyses the challenges for civic participation regarding its democratic legitimization and implementation practice within urban planning processes between top-down oriented governmental actions and local bottom-up contexts. It ends with a proposal of how civic participation could be improved and societal inclusion strengthened in local democratic processes, and to increase the effectivity and acceptance of public planning.

Edited by Salamin, Géza – Jeney, László AB - The paper takes the first steps to analyse changes concerning Hungarian urban planning in the recent years, focussing on the implementation and challenges of the integrated urban planning in Hungary in the light of planning traditions, arguing for the need of a better understanding of such traditions to understand current planning practices. It provides a sociological analysis on the effects of the political and economic context on urban planning, with specific regard to public participation, in different eras, like the state socialism, the period following the 1989/1990 transition and recent years. It presents how urban planning operated in very different and changing ‘faces of power’, under continuously strong external resource-dependency with varying key agents. It discusses the constraints of public participation rooted in contextual factors and in planning traditions. Finally, it also summarises existing research and presents hypotheses for a recently launched new research project.

Edited by Salamin, Géza – Jeney, László AB - During the past twenty years all over Europe the proliferation of networked governance forms can be experienced, which do not harmonise with statutory state spaces. Parallel with this, in the planning theory, there is a discussion about the modernisation of planning and the birth of new spatial categories. ‘Soft spaces’, make state boundaries fuzzy and allow the space construction for public–private networks. The precondition of this process has been the rescaling of the state territories and the decentralisation or devolution of state power to new, multi-scalar spatial entities. This also means that sub-national governments, city-regions have been mobilised and were given new fields of action for the assertion of their interests, while national governments have kept their control over them. The paper will reveal the different characteristics of territorial governance efforts in CEE, especially in Hungary compared to highly developed countries. Significant hindrances in adaptation of governance structures can be recognised horizontally on the one hand, and weak vertical connections between the different political levels, owing to the rejection of decentralisation by the state, on the other hand. The analysis based on the institutional and regulatory environment proves the lack of desired authorisation of the local and subnational levels for network-building and taking part in the national planning scheme.

Edited by Salamin, Géza – Jeney, László AB - The paper analyses the Hungarian efforts towards the approach of territorial cohesion from a spatial planning perspective. Since 2009 territorial cohesion is not only a new legitimate priority of the EU policies, especially that of Cohesion Policy, but also an important impetus of European spatial planning and thus the key driving force of the Europeanisation process of domestic spatial planning of member states. Although Hungary, just like the other Eastern and Central European Member States, had not had a significant role for a long time before 2011 in the elaboration and discourse of territorial cohesion and European spatial planning, some of its related policy innovations had a pioneer character in the European scale. In 2011, Hungarian took a coordinator role in the preparation of the definitive strategic document of the European spatial planning and territorial cohesion, that is, the Territorial Agenda 2020 (TA2020). The paper collects and reviews the main Hungarian policy initiatives, which directly connect to notion of territorial cohesion in a European understanding of spatial planning and development. Early formation of legislative framework for the EU oriented regional development in the 1990s; the emerging approaches in national level spatial planning, spatial strategies, and the pioneer introduction of integrated urban development strategies and methodological innovations of development system to implement territorial cohesion are the main steps in this process. Several relevant Hungarian innovations emerged during or even before the explicit EU level discussion and political acceptance of territorial cohesion.

Edited by Salamin, Géza – Jeney, László AB - City regions require spatial planning over their whole territory in order to achieve better development outcomes for people. However, city regions are usually characterised by fragmented local governance, and there is a need to overcome this through cooperation. This paper highlights some elements of good practice to achieve this improvement, including the use of digital technology. LA - English DB - MTMT ER -
