“…However, bridging capital is not limited by space [98,108]. Thus, some spatial boundaries are accepted based on trust in institutional limits [109]. Pretty and Ward [97] classify the relationships among individuals, internal organizations, and external organizations into five types: (i) intra-local connections; (ii) local-local connections; (iii) local-external connections; (iv) external-external connections; and (v) intra-external connections.…”

This study aims to present an integrated theoretical framework of sustainable local and regional development with an emphasis on social economy theory. The theoretical literature on social economy and sustainable local and regional development are reviewed and integrated focusing on the obstacles of sustainability and the function of social economy in local and regional development. Conflict and competition among sustainability values necessitates agreement and cooperation among those who embrace such values. Social enterprises are the core components of a social economy that reflects local and regional needs and pursues complex goals. In the social innovation process, social enterprises collaborate with various stakeholders regarding their business and social goals. Social enterprises have positive effects that influence local and regional development by satisfying local and regional needs, creating jobs in the community, developing relational assets in business processes, and restoring community solidarity. In social economy theory, social enterprises can facilitate sustainable local and regional development by including relational assets which embody social capital in social innovation processes. In the context of local and regional development, relational assets are important reinforcements of institutional capabilities, networks, and community or regional cooperation. Although social enterprises are not the dominant resources in traditional local and regional development, they can solve problems related to collective actions by networking and applying social norms to the situation.

“…Thomas and Thomas (2005), building on Healey et al's (2003) discussion of urban policy initiatives, argue that three different kinds of resources need to be drawn upon: knowledge resources (including the ability to recognize, operate within, and perhaps alter and subvert, key frames of reference and hegemonic discourses); relational resources (including establishing relationships of the right kind with the right interests/actors at the right time) and a mobilization capacity.…”

Tourism Partnerships and Small Firms

Partnerships have been a central feature of the tourism public policy landscape in advanced capitalist countries for some time. The intuitively appealing argument is that, by sharing expertise and decision making, commitment to the local tourism project is ensured. By participating in partnership working, small firms – which are almost universally characteristic of the sector – are said to contribute to the form and competitiveness of the tourism offer. Drawing on a variety of sources, this paper argues that in most cases such assertions are misplaced because ‘partnerships’ organized by the public sector are often predicated on an inadequate conceptualization of small firms in tourism, fail to appreciate the importance and complexity of informal economic relations, and usually ignore the particular power relations at play in local tourism policy formation and change.

“…The gap here is, among others, the assumption that the (Asiatic) traditional irregular small scale urban pattern and cultural heritage could inhibit future development. However, European cases teach how urban regeneration has not to be only framed through demolition and reconstruction practices, but recognizing the key role of places, culture, and identities [57,58]. Aware that also European regeneration policies presented gaps and social stigma because of their market driven approaches [59,60], the challenges posed decades ago from (urban) sustainability have to be addressed not only through new green design, but retrofitting existing cities and urban patterns.…”

Urban Sustainability Versus Green-Washing—Fallacy and Reality of Urban Regeneration in Downtown Seoul

This paper examines the planning paradigm shift related to the contested "urban renaissance" mega-project in Downtown Seoul (Korea). Similar to other global cities, over the last few decades, different mega-projects have been successfully implemented in Seoul. These projects have been considered engines for urban renewals and transformation. This paper builds on the analysis of the failure and re-framing planning strategy for the Green Corridor (GC) mega-project, part of the "Urban Renaissance Master Plan for Downtown Seoul". The GC case reveals various critical insights for urban sustainability: (i) the current mega-projects' sustainability fallacy, related to top-down, technocratic densification, and greening practices; and (ii) the untapped potential of Asian traditional and irregular small scale urban patterns, and their related socio-cultural value in addressing the renaissance of the long term urban sustainability. In particular, the discussed research findings point out that urban renaissance enabling sustainability principles requires integrated, small scale, incremental, and adaptive (stepwise) urban planning and design processes that go well beyond general strategies following the so-called "green growth" paradigm.
