| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
The key research objectives of this project were to (1) identify the actual issues concerning social sustainability in European cities, (2) review the planning practices in Catalonia Region, Spain, where the Neighbourhood Act (Llei de Barris) was implemented from 2004 seeking to improve living condition and deliver social cohesion in urban areas as well as rural areas, and (3) examine how social sustainability dimension would be integrated into contemporary planning theory and technique.
The Neighborhood Act targeted the declining areas. During 2004-2008, the Parliament of Catalonia approved subsidies for 92 projects of comprehensive intervention. Social sustainability has been a rational to integrate socially vulnerable groups through improvement and management of local public space. As a result of the study, it is found that the key policy concepts of the Act are multidimensionality, multilevel cooperation and intersection or traverse between administrations.
