“…The following article by Stryjakiewicz, Kudłak, Ciesiółka, Kołsut and Motek (2017) describes the challenges and limitations for local policy-making, which are located in the inherent trade-offs between top-down programmes and their translation and adaptation to local conditions. The authors explore urban development strategies in Poland in the past (1999-2014), present (2014-2015) and future (2014)(2015)(2016)(2017)(2018)(2019)(2020), describing the planning practice as being to some extent trapped between EU programme requirements on the one hand and local planning needs on the other hand.…”

Re-thinking non-core regions: planning strategies and practices beyond growth

Periods of ongoing growth in the economy and demographics have come to a halt for many European regions for various reasons, challenging their economic development prospects. Despite the heterogeneous nature of stagnation, decline, peripheralization or even stigmatization to be found there, these configurations 'beyond growth' have in common that short-term 'fire-fighting' policy approaches aiming to foster regional economic growth face some important limitations. We argue that this has to do, among other things, with the overall direction of established and orthodox planning approaches that are predominantly based on growth-oriented paradigms and implicitly or explicitly work with dichotomous categories such as core-periphery and metropolitan versus non-metropolitan spaces; these do, however, not capture local realities in these cases. Using the notion of non-core regions, we plead for conceptualizing non-core regions and their regional economic development trajectories in different ways: thinking 'beyond growth'. Such alternative ideas should be informed by alternative understandings of growth, development and sustainability in order to influence theories and concepts, but also to support new approaches to planning practice. To this aim, we discuss non-core regions from a social constructivist perspective, elaborating some points of departure for conceptualizing and practising regional planning 'beyond growth'.

“…The issue of urban regeneration is still a valid challenge, especially for places with a rich industrial heritage (Lehmann 2019a;Kostešić, Vukić, and Vukić 2019), where public spaces play an important role (Mussinelli et al 2020;Lehmann 2019b). This approach has also been followed in Polish writing on the subject (Szafrańska, Coudroy de Lille, and Kazimierczak 2019; Kazimierczak and Szafrańska 2019;Stryjakiewicz et al 2018;Skalski 2007;Jarczewski and Dej 2015;Stryjakiewicz 2014) and in French (Darchen 2019;Kazimierczak 2014) where the urban regeneration context has been applied.…”

Walking should be one of the primary modes of transportation in sustainable cities, being more environmentally friendly, sociable, and health conscious. The principles of New Urbanism (NU) promote walkability, creating urban patterns that support the needs of pedestrians. With that in mind, this study aims to define the relationship between walkability and NU in the context of urban regeneration, establishing the urban attributes that influence walkability in the revival of post-industrial areas. The research comes from a statistical analysis of the flow of people in Księży Młyn (Poland) and a field study from Carré de Soie (France) where urban attributes potentially determining walkability were evaluated. The study confirms that pedestrian traffic and urban form can be optimised through a holistic approach. It sets out the relationship between walkability and various phenomena, including i) social-how users behave in public spaces (the role of pedestrians and cars), and to whom the space is dedicated; ii) economic-how the attractiveness of the service and commercial offer are improving, and how real estate prices are changing; and iii) environmental-how the visual attractiveness of the place and the convenience of the space for pedestrians has improved (shop frontage and accessibility).

“…These regions are mountainous regions what might be a development challenge (CEC, 2008) but this factor is partially compensated by intensive tourism. Similarly, in Poland the disparities among regions even intensified in the post-socialist transition and they have not been diminished by the regional policy of the EU (Stryjakiewicz, 2017). Other regions of the cluster are on the border with Slovakia.…”

The article deals with the economically weak regions in the border areas of the Czech Republic (CR). The main goal is the selection and application of the most important variables, as the methodology of selection and evaluation of economically weak regions is not united. The following research question was formulated as whether the border regions are economically weaker when compared with the Czech Republic average of selected indicators. Two working hypotheses were set: whether the situation of the border regions is different from each other among the border regions and whether the economy of the neighbouring country impacts these disparities in border regions. The secondary goal of this article is to find homogenous clusters and describe these clusters of border regions. The result of the principal component analysis was determination of three components Labour market, Transnational commuters and Population migration. The variables that set up the component Labour Market was found to be the most important for economically weak border regions. The three components were used for cluster analysis and the territories were broken up into four clusters, none of which is above average of the CR with the result that the situation in the border region is dependent on the neighbouring country.
