The City

Based on the analyses of sociologists, historians, economists, demographers, anthropologists, and based on author?s own research, the aim of the paper is to point to the complex and dynamic sociospatial identity of contemporary Belgrade in the context of urban and regional development of post-socialist Serbia. The analytical framework includes, first of all, the definition of the city?s identity in terms of self-awareness of a city as sociospatial collectivity, which historically originates and develops in dependency which the city and the individuals in it establish in relationships with other cities. It then cites the various concepts by means of which identity of the modern city is constructed: the entrepreneurial city (Harvey), the creative city (Florida and Landry), the exciting city (Richards and Palmer), the city as a text (Radovic), a competitive identity of the city (Anholt) and so on. In particular, Belgradization as a process of concentration of money and power in the capital is analyzed and it is concluded that the network of Serbian cities is pyramidal, that the regionalization of Serbia is asymmetric, and that Belgrade is a primate city, too big and too powerful for Serbia i.e. that Belgradization increases regional imbalance in Serbia. The paper concludes with an optimistic assessment that Belgrade, despite numerous problems in its development, has the potential to become the ?European Capital of Culture? in 2020.

Purpose. The aim of the article is the development of the inclusive regional development concept, which is seen as the response to the opportunities and threats that the decentralization of power and the financial decentralization of formed territorial communities. Methodology of research. Conventional economic methods are used in the study, in particular: monographic and system-structural, which are used in the development of the inclusive regional development concept in the conditions of decentralization. Findings. It is determined that global trends are oriented towards achieving the prospects of sustainable and inclusive development. The suggested concept of inclusive regional development is adapted to the new conditions taking this into consideration, and taking into account the current processes of financial decentralization taking place in Ukraine. The suggested definition of inclusive development reveals its content and ways of achieving social and economic growth, improving the quality of life of the population. The basic conceptual idea of inclusive regional development is formed and to define the goals, objectives and ways of its implementation. The essence and the author`s vision of financial decentralization as a process of transfer from the central to the local self-government bodies of financial resources, powers, making decision rights in order to better meet the needs of the population in obtaining public goods, intensify the economic growth of the respective territories are disclosed. The main components of the financial decentralization mechanism (methods, tools, principles, forms and factors) are characterized. The definition of the regional self-development mechanism in the conditions of financial decentralization is given and the imperatives of regional self-development mechanism functioning in the conditions of financial decentralization are revealed. Determinants of inclusive regional development are identified, which in their interaction create a synergistic effect for the sustainable development goals achieving. The article proves the necessity of further investigation of theoretical and institutional foundations of regional development with a view to implementing the decentralization of power policy and the necessity of adequate financial support of these processes. Originality.The concept of inclusive regional development under the conditions of financial decentralization is substantiated, which provides for optimal allocation of the financial resources of local self-government bodies accumulated in the local budget due to the effective use of opportunities from financial decentralization and minimizing its potential threats, in order to achieve sustainable development of the region with maximizing the share of the community social product and ensuring a fair distribution of the benefits received on the basis of inclusive growth. Practical value. The obtained results of the study are the basis for solving practical problems of regional development in the context of decentralization in Ukraine. Key words: inclusive regional development concept; financial decentralization; financial decentralization mechanism; financial decentralization factors; inclusive development; region`s self-development mechanism.

Today one of the important concerns of cities is growth by sustainable development. However sustainable urban development has been used in various forms and explained by various definitions, this subject is accompanied by uncertainty. New approaches in urban planning have attempted to achieve sustainable development. One of these is City Development Strategies (CDS), a new strategic planning approach that has been employed in more than 200 cities worldwide to achieve sustainable growth. However, CDS achieve different levels of success in sustainability. This paper takes the initiative to investigate the contribution of CDS toward sustainable urban development by looking for inclusion of principle of sustainable urban development in CDS themes. However CDS themes are various such as sustainable urban development definitions, therefore this inclusion is different. This paper highlights this relationship and inclusion for one the latest definition of CDS presented by Cities Alliance in 2006. This definition can succeed to achieve sustainability on some aspects, especially environmental and economic sustainability and fail to achieve some ones. This output is discussed in relation to CDS themes that have been applied in developing countries.

Effective use of the potential of both an individual country and its regions in order to ensure sustainable development is possible only on the basis of conscious, purposeful, scientifically grounded actions on the transformation of regional systems. That is why, the aim of the paper is to provide an analysis of the theoretical aspects of regional sustainable development in the EU and Ukraine, which will create a methodological basis for the further development of practical mechanisms for ensuring balanced regional development. As a main method of research, we use the critical analysis and comparison of normative documents, analytical reports, regional development strategies and scientific publications on the issues of sustainable development. As a result, the authors substantiate the essence of sustainable development and clarified the concept of regional sustainable development. This made it possible to determine its features. The paper also summarizes the institutional framework for ensuring regional sustainable development, including the justification of informal constraints, formal rules and coercive mechanisms. The authors identify vectors for ensuring the regional sustainable development in Ukraine. However, for the effective implementation of certain strategic priorities, a change in the public consciousness is needed in order to understand the importance of regional sustainable development, as well as the definition of clear criteria for the achievement of sustainable development and continuous monitoring of its level. We consider education as one of the most effective tools that will allow the formation of a system of knowledge, skills and competences necessary for the formation of citizens responsible for the future of the country.

Currently, at the end of the programming period 2014–2020 and in the view of the new programming exercise, 2021–2027, knowing where South-Muntenia is positioned on the path to sustainable regional development and how the main determinants can be integrated in regional development policies in order to continuously support the development of the Romanian regions becomes even more important. In this context, the paper aims to evaluate the progress made by the South-Muntenia region towards sustainable regional development for the period 2010–2017 highlighting the main implications for regional development strategies and revealing local initiatives promoting broader sustainable regional development. Thus, more in depth, the paper aims to identify the main determinants of sustainable regional development at the level of South-Muntenia counties using multiple principal component analysis (MPCA), to build an advancement sustainable development index based on panel data for the period 2010–2017 and to reveal the main sustainable development poles at the county level for the year 2017 using hierarchical clustering technique. The empirical results revealed the importance of business environment, public services infrastructure, education, and social protection as main determinants of South-Muntenia sustainable regional development. The advancement composite index pointed out that South-Muntenia recorded a slow but continuous advancement in terms of sustainable regional development, almost doubling its performance in these seven years. At the county level, if Prahova, Argeș, and Dâmbovița exhibited a so-called stagnation, Ialomița and Teleorman were still behind, registering an advancement over the period but remained only halfway on the path to sustainable development, while Calarasi and Giurgiu tried to recover the huge gap, registering very low rates of sustainable development index. On the path to regional economic development, the relevance of two main sustainable regional development drivers can be highlighted—a better allocation for active measures with the reduction of unemployment as a target together with a better infrastructure of public services. National, regional, and local administrations play an important role in promoting sustainability in the economic, social, and environmental activities, in a coherent manner. Regardless of the level at which development policies are designed, local, county, or regional, they must take into account and monitor the sustainable development determinants if the ultimate goal is the overall regional development of South-Muntenia.

New Urban Agenda

Abstract Resilience ranks high on the environmentally oriented research agenda on sustainable urban and regional development. The annual “Global Forum on Urban Resilience and Adaptation” has become a meeting point for academia and practice. The United Nations 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development uses the term in two of their 17 Sustainable Development Goals, i.e., in Goal No. 9 on infrastructure as a basis for economic development and No. 11 on cities and human settlements. Moreover, resilience has become a prominent topic in the New Urban Agenda. Against this background, the article provides an overview of recent discussion on resilience. It scrutinizes how the concept has been used by different researchers from diverse disciplines with special reference to urban, regional and environmental studies. A systematic literature review on resilience was carried out in order to shed light on recent developments of thought and practice. All in all, 650 articles were reviewed. Following an introduction into the topic and description of the applied methodological approach, different facets of the debate on resilience are presented, and conclusions are drawn. It can be seen that the discussion of resilience needs more specificity, transdisciplinary approaches, and regional contextualization, especially in urban and regional development studies in the countries of the global south.
