European development goals: sustainable cities and public regeneration perspectives

Abstract

Abstract: I c.d. “obiettivi di sviluppo sostenibile” dell’UE: città inclusive e prospettive di rigenerazione urbana – The so called “Goal 11” of the Sustainable Development Agenda 2030 aims to make cities and human settlements inclusive, safe, durable, and sustainable. The Goal draws the countries’ attention, among others, to the unstoppable process of urbanization that is affecting the population of the entire planet. In this regard, Public Administration is called to include among its main objectives the implementation of liveability, attractiveness, competitiveness, and sustainability of existing neighbourhoods through the choice of eco-efficient strategies, the creation of an adequate supply of public spaces, the diversification of housing types and access to better financing, legislation and knowledge. This approach undoubtedly calls for the need to connect timely interventions, local policies, and global strategies in a continuous and recursive relationship.
