“…There are several viable options for urban governments to provide economic incentives for private sector participation, such as different property tax exemptions; or the transfer of development rights from protected areas to new developments, which represent the transfer of floor space indexes that promote the efficient reuse of historic buildings; or as in-kind subsidies of the public sector as a reduction in building land development fees for land uses enabling tourism, cultural tourism, or adaptive reuse of protected buildings [23].…”

Strategic Planning and Management Model for the Regeneration of Historic Urban Landscapes: The Case of Historic Center of Novi Pazar in Serbia

2020

The purpose of this paper is to identify the role of strategic planning as a sustainable tool for regulating both the protection and development of historic urban landscapes, as well as developing an adequate and effective strategic model and management instruments for implementation. The role and importance of strategic planning are examined in the context of global transformative actions in the urban governance of community and private sector engagement and sustainable development on the local level. We argue that a specific—tailor-made—integrated strategic urban planning approach could be a useful model, both for development and urban regeneration and for the preservation of protected valuable historic urban landscapes, thus contributing to a sustainable urban revival of wider surrounding territories including cultural, social and economic development. We stand on the position that the sustainable approach to the protection and revitalization of the historic urban landscapes has to be in line with the acknowledgment of specific local community values, contemporary needs, their involvement, and, eventually, their satisfaction. The case study method was based on the example of a protected historic center of Novi Pazar in Serbia to test the possibilities of applying strategic planning model and management for the implementation tailored to the local context. Eventually, the scenario method was applied to test the possibilities of a simulation of the strategic planning model and management instruments for a protected historic center. We found that the appropriate combination and utilization of regulatory, economic and informational management instruments have to be in place in the specific context. We conclude and draw out theoretical and practical remarks from our research that integrated strategic urban planning model should consider the logic and the functioning of the competitive real estate markets, and the sustainable environmental, economic and social effects, potentials and benefits for the locality where they originate, in order to be utilized as the new generative value both for the protection and for the revival of historic city centers. The paper develops a conceptual strategic planning and management model for the regeneration of historic urban landscapes that capture the physical, environmental, economic, and social effects and indicators of a given space. Based on this input, an adequate initial stage of the conceptual strategy by the authors of the paper was developed for the regeneration of the historic urban city center.

“…Policy narratives and blueprints, often produced by supranational development agencies and networks of global consultants, have encouraged city (and national) authorities to adopt more flexible and open planning and governance arrangements to boost supply-side delivery and accommodate the needs of international investors looking for new opportunities. Development agencies are encouraged to form local action plans, explaining how they will move away from top-down, bureaucratic modes of deliberation to flexible, adaptive, and more market-oriented arrangements and instruments (Amirtahmasebi et al, 2019). The shift is part of wider trend in which traditional modes of authority and regulation are viewed as a barrier to the adoption of progressive economic support measurers and more flexible social policies (Du Gay & Lopdrup-Hjorth, 2016).…”

Relational regulation and Chinese real estate investment in London: moving beyond the territorial trap

National governments, urban authorities and supra-national bodies increasingly see the provision of new housing as a core priority. There has been a strong emphasis on reforming the regulatory environments that exist within geographical territories and making them more welcoming to inward investment. However, such outlooks we claim often fall into a territorial trap and give too much prominence to the regulations and policy environments found in recipient destinations. The paper argues instead for a more recursive focus on the ways in which decisions taken in 'source' and 'host' locations need to be understood as part of a mutually constitutive system of governance. Using the example of Chinese residential investment into London, it argues that investment trends, processes and outcomes reflect a recursive combination of regulatory and political changes in both the city and within China, with the latter becoming increasingly influential. As we show, the Chinese Communist Party has been exerting greater control over the activities of Chinese real estate enterprises and what products are 'permitted' for investment and how this should be done. The paper reflects on the implications for recent academic and policy writings on urban territorial competition.

“…Sin embargo, los proyectos suelen al mismo tiempo, involucrar de manera estrecha a inversionistas privados. De hecho, el carácter multi-actoral y la asociación público-privado en particular, casi parece ser parte integral de la definición implícita de la Regeneración Urbana: debido a la envergadura de los proyectos, se requiere de importantes recursos financieros que los gobiernos locales no poseen (Amirtahmasebi, Orloff, Wahba y Altman, 2016). Resulta interesante observar que esta última característica de la regeneración urbana es la que mayor crítica genera hacia este proceso en América Latina.…”

“…Las dos experiencias difirieron de manera importante. En el caso de Santiago de Chile, la autoridad municipal jugó un papel muy proactivo durante la primera fase del Programa (primera década), impulsando el regreso de la construcción habitacional nueva a través de la Corporación para el desarrollo de Santiago (entidad mixta público-privada), identificando las propiedades potenciales de recuperar, relacionando sus dueños con desarrolladores y convenciendo, además (y sobre todo), al Ministerio de la Vivienda y Urbanismo de crear, dentro del marco de la política habitacional nacional vigente, un Subsidio de Renovación Urbana que resultó ser decisivo para subsidiar la demanda (Amirtahmasebi et al, 2016). En cambio, el Gobierno del Distrito Federal no demostró tanto protagonismo para detonar el proceso de redensificación: la estrategia consistió más bien, mediante un "bando" de Gobierno (el llamado Bando 2), en dejar de autorizar las construcciones nuevas de viviendas en edificios en las demarcaciones periféricas de la ciudad, hasta entonces las más atractivas, y al contrario, en agilizar los trámites legales para la realización de proyectos inmobiliarios en la Ciudad Central, gracias a la creación de una ventanilla única (Tamayo, 2007).…”

Tradicionalmente, en el campo del urbanismo, el término regeneración urbana refiere al proceso de producción urbana que se ha vuelto predominante en las ciudades de Europa y América del norte desde hace ya varias décadas: la implementación de grandes proyectos urbanos de recuperación, tanto física como socio-económica, de áreas intra-urbanas, generalmente en desuso. Esto se está dando todavía poco en las ciudades latinoamericanas, a pesar de la existencia de un alto potencial de suelo posible de reciclar. Los proyectos realizados, escasos, son cuestionados.
