Integrated Urban Development: seminar with practitioners Jean Monnet Chair on European Urban Policies

Integrated Urban Development in the European Union: analysis and evaluation of initiatives developed in Spain (1994-2013).

Sevilla, 10 December 2019. Pablo de Olavide University.

Practitioners and researchers met to discuss about the analysis and evaluation of integrated urban development initiatives as an activity of the Jean Monnet Chair on European Urban Policies. The activity was centred on methodological issues about the design and evaluation of integrated urban projects developed in the framework of European initiatives. Strategies to measure main elements of this kind of projects from a comparative perspective (policy frame, contents, design quality, integrated strategy,…), and impact assessment strategies applying quasi-experimental designs and comparative case studies were discussed.

Empirical results about projects developed in the framework of URBAN and URBANA Initiatives were presented. These evidences have been produced in the framework of the URBAN IMPACTS project funded by MINECO (Government of Spain) and ERDF (European Union) (CSO2015-70048-R). This project has been developed by members of the Jean Monnet Chair on European Urban Policies and other researchers of the Urban Governance Lab at the Pablo de Olavide University.
