“…They favour and narrow involvement down to those actors willing and able to cope with limited consultation and deliberation, and 'compressed time scales' (Jessop, 2008: 194). Such governance differs from the more formalised and structured agreements set within clear constitutional frameworks with demarcated separation of powers characteristic of managerialism and practised between city, state and national tiers in federal systems such as Canada (Donald, 2005) and centralised systems such as France (Green and Booth, 1996). This UK version of city deal-making has emerged and flourished amidst the administrative bureaucracy, formalised policymaking protocols, institutional constraints, political accountability and scrutiny characteristic of narrower conceptions of urban managerialism (Leonard, 1982).…”

How urban infrastructure is funded, financed and governed is a central issue for states at the national, city-regional and city scales. Urban infrastructure is being financialised by financial and state actors and transformed into an asset in the international investment landscape. Local governments are being compelled by national state and financial institutions to be more entrepreneurial in their infrastructure funding and financing and to reorganise their governance arrangements. This article explains the socially and spatially uneven unfolding and implications of urban infrastructure financialisation and local government attempts to implement more entrepreneurial practices and governance forms. The empirical focus is the City Deals in the UK: a new form of urban governance and infrastructure investment based upon negotiated central–local government agreements on decentralised powers, responsibilities and resources. The continued authority of the highly centralised UK national state, its managerialist institutions and conservative/risk-averse administrative culture have constrained urban infrastructure financialisation and entrepreneurial urban governance in the UK City Deals. Situated in their particular spatial, temporal, political-economic and institutional settings, financialisation is understood as a socially and spatially variegated process and urban governance is interpreted as the articulation and mixing of new entrepreneurial and enduring managerialist forms.

“…This initiative has not been without a precedent, given that it has taken its inspiration from other experiences across the world, such as the Contrat de Ville 2000-06 programme in France (Green and Booth, 1996). However, most urban development strategies have traditionally been designed and implemented at the national and sectoral levels, whereas the originality and advantage of the RUI lays in their inter-sectoral character and the fact that they are anchored to the territory at the municipal and local scales.…”

-This paper reflects upon an integrated territorial initiative known as RUI (Integrated Urban Revitalization), which has been implemented in a number of Montreal neighbourhoods that have been particularly afflicted by poverty and social exclusion. In these areas, a series of Integrated Urban Revitalization pilot-projects have been implemented with a view to creating new development opportunities. The inter-sectoral RUI approach (health, education, crime prevention, housing, employment, transportation, environment...) advances governance, gives rise to a new generation of networks and partnerships and exposes structures to participative democracy. The RUI initiative also purports to contribute to rebuilding the identity and culture of disadvantaged people, strengthening territorial bonds (the neighbourhood as a place of belonging and social interaction) and reinforcing territorial cohesion. The RUI incorporates a bottom-up logic and constitutes a stimulus to the social economy by reinforcing the networks and institutional capacity of Montreal's society and economy, but the State cannot afford not to participate in the quest for a fairer and more sustainable urban development model. Some of the lessons from this experience can be usefully transferred and adapted to other territories subject to exclusion and poverty. 48Margarida Queirós local alavancaram novas oportunidades para o desenvolvimento. Estas iniciativas intersectoriais (saúde, educação, segurança, habitação, emprego, transportes, ambiente…), conhecidas por "Revitalização Urbana Integrada" ou RUI, onde uma nova geração de redes e parcerias evidenciam estruturas apelativas de democracia participativa, elementos-chave de reconstrução cultural e identitária das populações estigmatizadas e dos territórios locais (o bairro como um espaço de pertença e reconhecimento, de interacção social e de participação cívica) e parecem contribuir para o reforço da coesão territorial. Apesar das RUI protagonizarem uma abordagem integrada de base territorial e adoptarem um modelo de gestão bottom-up, e terem estimulado a economia social, incrementado as redes, a capacitação das populações e o seu nível de integração na sociedade, na economia e no território de Montreal, o Estado não pode deixar de se assumir como um actor-chave nesta demanda do desenvolvimento urbano equitativo e sustentável. Acresce que há lições desta experiência que podem ser incorporadas noutras realidades urbanas de exclusão e pobreza.
