 Obiettivo del progetto (Objective)

'This program aims at developing joint research and higher education on urban and regional development and planning, bringing together European and Chinese Universities. On the one hand Chinese cities and society are evolving at a very quick pace and Chinese responsible decision makers are aware of the challenge and new issues they are facing. They pay a particular attention to the approaches developed in Europe. On the other hand, European academics traditionally compare their views between themselves and with specialists from all over the world. Obviously, the exceptional experience and the growing importance of China in the global economics and politics gives to cooperation with Chinese universities a particular interest. This exchange programme focuses on spatial planning concept which is gaining in resonance within the EU. In China, spatial planning is among the most important policy means for the government to guide the environmental and social evolution of the world’s biggest and fastest growing country. Within Europe there are very different approaches to managing change within different urban and regional contexts and the same is true within China, where the open door policy has unleashed an unprecedented urban transformation. The role of the project is to explore how policy makers in both Europe and China are managing the rapid transformation of our territories, primarily in urban areas and also in the rural one. The implementation of the programme is based on a networking of four EU universities (Paris 12, Liverpool, Manchester and Utrecht) and one university in China (Nanjing University), which all hold the leading positions in planning education, training and research in their countries. Partners will exchange staff members, junior and PhD researchers around yearly seminars, summer schools or workshops, and symposiums. The core of this network activity is an annual summer school in China and an autumn symposium in China or the EU.'

Introduzione (Teaser)

China and Europe are taking different routes to managing how their cities grow and change over time. An EU initiative explored the two approaches through academic and scientific exchanges.

Descrizione progetto (Article)

High-level Chinese authorities are aware of the demands and fresh concerns that lie ahead as their urban centres and society as a whole continue to evolve at a rapid rate. The Chinese government's spatial planning policy plays a key role in leading its social evolution.

As such, they are taking an active interest in the way their European counterparts approach urbanisation and spatial planning. Conversely, European scholars have taken a more holistic view to both issues. They have been contrasting notions and methodologies with those of their peers from around the globe.

The EU-funded 'Euro-Chinese urban and regional bi-continental research scheme' (ECURBS) project set out to examine how Chinese and European policymakers are dealing with the hurried urban transformation. The academic and research staff mobility scheme brought together a number of universities from the two regions to look into urban and regional development and planning.

During the project lifetime, several international activities were carried out, namely scientific workshops and conferences, research and planning cooperation, teaching cooperation and academic exchanges.

Scholars analysed the unparalleled urban transformation taking place in China, as well as the design of capable planning methods and implementation.

By exploring two vastly different approaches to managing urban transformation, ECURBS reinforced academic and scientific cooperation and relations between China and Europe. By doing so, it helped boost the profile and legitimacy of the urban planning domain for both.
