Roberta Capuis, Head of the Urban Planning and Regeneration Sector of Confcommercio-Imprese per l’Italia
The European Union has always supported the development of urban areas as engines of change to achieve a new era of environmental respect, resilience and inclusiveness, and is doing even more during this dramatic crisis so that the pandemic can become an opportunity to improve the quality of life of citizens and the activities of entrepreneurs.
The new European Cohesion Policy 2021-2027 offers territories the opportunity to define and directly manage urban regeneration projects and actions for the economic, social and environmental regeneration of cities, including for the benefit of trade and services businesses.
Similarly, the measures and resources of the National Recovery and Resilience Plan are often focused on the urban and territorial challenges of our country, such as the Innovative Housing Quality Programme, dedicated to city housing policies and the regeneration of the socio-economic fabric, and the National Small Towns Plan, based on the cultural regeneration of small towns and their tourist revival.
At the centre of the debate, promoted this year by Confcommercio-Imprese per l’Italia, are the huge resources available to cities, territories and urban economies. They represent a unique opportunity to develop, in the coming years, shared and integrated projects and consolidate the results achieved so far. This is in continuity with what has already been experimented by the territorial Confcommercios, in collaboration with the reference municipal administrations and local partnerships.
