‘With the help of the ERDF, the municipality of Cernika is developing a business zone on a former Yugoslav Army military site.
Na tem območju živi 850 000 prebivalcev. Projekt, ki bo znatno izboljšal kakovost vode v reki Donavi, je razdeljen na pet faz:
This involved demolishing the barracks, levelling the ground and providing both basic infrastructure (access road, water supply, drains, lighting, etc.) and the particular infrastructure needed for companies (high-voltage networks, cables for rapid Internet connection, etc.).
V tej fazi so podrli barake, zravnali zemljišče, uredili komunalne priključke (cesta, vodovod, kanalizacija, razsvetljava …) in zemljišče opremili z vsemi infrastrukturami, ki jih za svoje delovanje potrebujejo podjetja (električni tok visoke napetosti, visoko zmogljivi internetni kabli itd.).
The 11 000 m³ site is now ready to welcome, at a reasonable cost, offices, workshops and other buildings that have still to be constructed.
Zemljišče v izmeri 11 000 m2 je pripravljeno za gradnjo pisarn, delavnic in drugih zgradb. Projekt je del razvojne strategije notranjsko-kraške regije.“
The project is part of the development strategy of the Notranjsko Kraška region.’

‘The opening of the Araena Stadium in 1996 failed to produce the permanent jobs we were hoping for in the Zuid-Oost district of south-east Amsterdam.
„Odprtje stadiona Araena leta 1996 ni prineslo trajnostnih zaposlitev, ki so jih pričakovali v Zuid-Oost, jugovzhodnih četrtih Amsterdama.
As a result, the City of Amsterdam decided to set up a partnership for employment bringing together all the local players: public authorities, entrepreneurs, professional organisations, educational institutions, associations, etc.
Zato je, na pobudo mesta, nastalo partnerstvo za zaposlovanje, ki je združilo vse lokalne sile: oblasti, podjetnike, poklicne organizacije, izobraževalne ustanove, združenja itd.
A total of 80 bodies are represented within the ArenA Initiative that networks all the local socioeconomic actors in the service of jobs and training.
V Are-nA Initiatief je zastopanih 80 organizacij. Omrežje združuje vse lokalne socialno-ekonomske akterje s področja zaposlovanja in izobraževanja.
Psychologically, there was also a need to bridge the divide that separates the east of the city (where people live) and the west of the city (where people work).
S psihološkega vidika gre za povezovanje vzhodnega dela mesta (kjer ljudje živijo) z zahodnim (kjer ljudje delajo). Formula je uspešna.
Between 1996 and 2003 the number of job-seek-ers fell from 15 000 to 5 000.’

‘Integration is the strength of the URBAN project in Gijón’
„Integracija je najtrdnejši člen projekta URBAN v Gijónu“
Unfortunately, local residents opposed siting this in their neighbourhood. By placing the action in the URBAN context, however, it was not difficult to generate an awareness of the issue among a large section of the population by holding about 100 information meetings on selective waste collection at learning centres, youth clubs, senior citizens clubs, telecentres, etc.
Blanca Cañal García, direktorica programa URBAN II Gijón (Asturija) zlahka pridobili velik del prebivalcev, in sicer preko številnih informativnih sestankov o ločenem zbiranju odpadkov, ki smo jih organizirali v šolskih centrih, mladinskih klubih, društvih za tretje življenjsko obdobje, telecentrih itd.
Fourteen local associations also helped organise an exhibition on the subject.
Pri organizaciji razstave na to temo je sodelovalo štirinajst lokalnih združenj.
An estimated 800 persons attended this event over a five-day period.
Ocenjujemo, da je petdnevno razstavo obiskalo več kot 800 oseb.
Today, the Clean Point is an attractive facility that residents are proud of.
Danes je čisti otok privlačna instalacija, na katero so okoliški prebivalci ponosni.
It is located in the most working class neighbourhood in the URBAN zone, close to schools, health centres and a major sports complex where instruction on good environmental practices continues to be made available.
Nahaja se v najbolj priljubljeni četrti območja URBAN, v bližini šol, zdravstvenega doma in velikega športnega centra. Kljub temu nadaljujemo z ekološkim izobraževanjem.
Also significant is that all the URBAN actions are accompanied by information campaigns to increase awareness of energy savings, household waste management, etc.
Povedati je treba še, da pri izvajanju ukrepov iz programa URBAN prebivalce seznanjamo tudi s tematiko varčevanja z energijo, ravnanja z gospodinjskimi odpadki itd.
‘Outlying industrial sector in crisis’ is the label perhaps best applied to the URBAN action zone in Gijón.
„Kriza industrijske cone“ je izraz, ki najbolj nazorno opredeljuje območje, ki sodi v program URBAN v Gijónu.
With a population of 26 519 at the time of drawing up the programme, which is 10% of the population of Gijón, the URBAN zone lies in the west of the city and includes a number of areas: Jove (where some neighbourhoods such as El Muselín, Portuarios and Pescadores extend to the sea), Tremañes (industrial zone) and a part of the neighbourhoods of Calzada and Natahoyo, which are densely populated and include many abandoned industrial sites due to the closure of a number of large companies.
Območje, ki je ob nastanku programa štelo 26 519 prebivalcev oziroma 10 % prebivalstva Gijóna, se nahaja na zahodnem delu mesta in je razdeljeno na več sektorjev: Jove (nekatere četrti kot El Muselín, Portuarios in Pescadores segajo vse do morja), Tremañes (industrijsko območje) in del gosto poseljenih četrti Calzada in Natahoyo, kjer se, po zaprtju več velikih podjetij, nahajajo zapuščena industrijska poslopja.
Throughout the URBAN zone, residential areas lie in close proximity to an intensive industrial activity and major transport infrastructures, such as the port of Musel and a number of railway lines running through these areas.
Bivalna naselja sobivajo z intenzivnimi industrijskimi aktivnostmi in velikimi transportnimi infrastrukturami na celotnem območju programa URBAN. Tukaj se nahaja pristanišče Musel in več železniških linij.
Unemployment and social problems are much more serious in the URBAN zone than in other parts of the city.
Nezaposlenost in socialni problemi so mnogo večji na območju programa URBAN, kot v drugih delih naselja.
The partnership with business
Partnerstvo s podjetji
Managed by the City of Gijón, the URBAN project receives 75% of its funding from the ERDF.
Nosilec projekta URBAN je mesto Gijón, Evropski sklad za regionalni razvoj pa prispeva 75 % od skupno 14,2 milijona evrov sredstev.
The total eligible cost is EUR 14.2 million, spread over five main actions: the renovation of abandoned sites and the creation of plots to be offered for sale; improvements to the economic fabric; the integration of disadvantaged populations; waste processing; the promotion of new technologies.
Porazdelili smo jih na pet ciljev: obnova zapuščenih zemljišč, njihovo parceliranje ter prodaja; izboljšanje ekonomskega tkiva; vpletanje prikrajšanih skupin prebivalstva; predelava odpadkov; promocija novih tehnologij.
The URBAN zone is home to some of the city’s oldest and most poorly equipped industrial sites.
Na območju programa URBAN se nahajajo najstarejše in najslabše opremljene industrijske cone.
The job of improving rundown sites has mobilised associations of companies situated in three business zones.
Ponovna oživitev degradiranih zemljišč je spodbudila združenja podjetij, ki se nahajajo na treh različnih industrijskih conah.
Industrial wasteland and abandoned sites, which were often used illegally, have been converted into car parks or have now been built on.
Stara industrijska poslopja in zapuščena zemljišča, kjer se pogosto odvijajo tudi nelegalne dejavnosti, smo preoblikovali v parkirišča, ki so že zgrajena.
The involvement of the two companies (ADIF and FEVE) that have railway lines running through these sites was particularly significant.
Pri delih sta sodelovali dve družbi (ADIF in FEVE). Njune železniške proge namreč prečkajo to območje.
Following the positive results of this action, it was much easier to present to companies – most of them small businesses – other possible actions to improve the environment or encourage new technologies.
Na podlagi pozitivnih rezultatov smo lahko lažje prepričali druga podjetja, večinoma zelo majhna, da obstajajo tudi drugačni ukrepi v korist okolja oziroma novih tehnologij.
Thus, one of the associations of companies has planted 100 trees in its business zone.
Tako je eno od podjetniških združenj v svoji industrijsko-obrtni coni posadilo 100 dreves.
Elsewhere, a company recently concluded an agreement to develop websites for 150 companies in the URBAN zone.
Neko drugo podjetje je pred kratkim sklenilo dogovor, da oblikuje spletne strani za 150 podjetij iz območja programa URBAN.
The “Clean Point” in Gijón.
V ta namen izobražuje mlade in zaposlili jih bodo najmanj šest.
In transforming these priorities into action, certain major principles have been respected that create a leverage effect and generate added value, in particular an integrated approach and the search for synergies with other public and private actions.
Pri izvajanju prednostnih nalog smo upoštevali nekatera pomembna načela, ki spodbujajo učinek vzvoda in dodane vrednosti, zlasti integrirani pristop in prizadevanje za sinergijo z drugimi javnimi in zasebnimi ukrepi, kot ponazarjata spodnja primera.
The ‘Clean Point’
„Čisti otok“
With 10 years’ experience of developing projects of this kind, I think I can confirm that these integrated programmes concentrated in very precise areas and involving actors in the field, go far beyond a simple budget execution: they have an added value and visibility for citizens far superior than would be the case if they were implemented by the various services individually without any genuine coordination or integration.
Na podlagi več desetletnih izkušenj s tovrstnimi projekti lahko zatrdim, da integrirani programi, ki so osredotočeni na natančno opredeljena območja in ki zahtevajo tesno sodelovanje akterjev na terenu, zagotovo niso samo preprost način porabe proračunskih sredstev. Imajo namreč dodano vrednost in njihova prepoznavnost je veliko večja, kot bi bila, če bi jih izvajale posamezne specializirane službe, ločeno in brez prave usklajenosti oziroma integracije.
The original idea was to set up a ‘Clean Point’ (container park for the selective collection of household waste) on an area of wasteland behind the railway
Najprej smo želeli postaviti „čisti otok“ (park z zabojniki za ločeno zbiranje gospodinjskih odpadkov) na zapuščenem zemljišču za železniško progo.

URBAN II in action in Leipzig and Dortmund (Germany)
URBAN II v praksi v Leipzigu in Dortmundu (Nemčija)
Neighbourhoods on the up
Mestne četrti, kjer se stvari premikajo
The twelve German URBAN II programmes are financed by a mix of European funds and development aid from the federal state, the Länder and the cities.
Zvezna vlada, dežele in mesta, skupaj z evropskimi skladi, financirajo 12 programov URBAN II v Nemčiji.
Their participatory, integrated and innovative approach is helping make the neighbourhoods in question more attractive and dynamic, whilst restoring pride and hope to residents.
S pristopom udeležbe, integracije in inovativnoti vračajo mestnim četrtem privlačnost in živahnost, njihovim prebivalcem pa ponos in upanje. Dokaz sta Leipzig in Dortmund.
This giant earthworm, symbol of vitality, winds its way up the side of the building which houses the offices of Wege e.V, an association for parents of children with psychological difficulties, supported by URBAN in Leipzig.

almost impossible dream under the East German regime.
nemškega režima težko uresničljiva želja, in se preselilo v predmestja ali na bližnje podeželje.
Karsten Gerkens, head of town planning with the City of Leipzig, shows the photo of a little girl dressed in a coat that is clearly much too big for her: ‘For us, urban development is about trying to adjust a coat that is very expensive but too big so that it can fit a growing body’.
Karsten Gerkens, vodja Oddelka za urbanizem mesta Leipzig kaže fotografijo majhne deklice, ki nosi zanjo prevelik plašč: „Z urbanističnim razvojem poskušamo drag, a prevelik plašč prilagoditi telesu, ki se še razvija.“
In the 1990s alone, Leipzig lost 100 000 inhabitants.
Samo v devetdesetih letih je Leipzig izgubil 100 000 prebivalcev.
The causes were many: the very low birth rate accounted for a population decline of 25 000, whilst reunification led to the loss of 60 000 industrial jobs, prompting 25 000 inhabitants to move to Western Germany.
Nizka stopnja rodnosti je prikrajšala mesto za 25 000 prebivalcev. Po združitvi Nemčije je Leipzig izgubil 60 000 delovnih mest v industriji in 25 000 prebivalcev se je preselilo na zahod. Istočasno je 50 000 meščanov Leipziga podleglo čarom lastne hišice, ki je bila v času vzhodno-
The net result was empty buildings, 60 000 vacant homes and a punctured urban fabric.
Rezultat je bil veliko število praznih stavb, 60 000 prostih stanovanj in zelo zrahljano mestno tkivo.
On certain major streets in some neighbourhoods as many as one building in four is empty.
Na večjih ulicah je prazna vsaka četrta zgradba.
But the overall impression is not the same as in an industrial city in crisis where one usually finds whole neighbourhoods that have become rundown and dilapidated.
Toda podoba kljub temu ni takšna kot v industrijskih mestih v krizi, kjer se degradacija razširi na celotno četrt.
In Leipzig, smart newly refurbished houses are found alongside abandoned buildings with their faded facades.
V Leipzigu se elegantne, obnovljene zgradbe dotikajo zapuščenih stavb z dotrajanimi fasadami.
This can be very sad to see as many of them are beautiful buildings in the ‘Gründerzeit’ style of the period of intense growth and urbanisation witnessed in Germany between 1870 and 1914.
Pogosto gre za prelepe stavbe v stilu „Gründerzeita“, obdobja intenzivne širitve in urbanizacije, ki ga je Nemčija živela v letih 1870 in 1914.
The ultimate aim of the URBAN II ‘Leipziger Westen’ programme implemented in the four western areas of the city (8 km², 32 000 inhabitants) is therefore very simple: ‘To keep the people who are already in the city and attract others,’ explains programme manager Norbert Raschke.
Končni cilj programa URBAN II „Leipziger Westen“, ki ga izvajamo v štirih naseljih na zahodu mesta (8 km², 32 000 stanovalcev), je torej preprost: „Prepričati ljudi, da ostanejo v mestu in privabiti nove prebivalce,“ pojasnjuje Norbert Raschke, ki vodi program.
) Leipzig and the neighbouring Halle are members of the ‘Shrinking Cities’ network (http://www.shrinkingcities.com/), a project man- aged between 2002 and 2006 by the Kulturstiftung des Bundes (Federal Cultural Foundation) and involving architects, scientists and artists in studies that also relate to Detroit (USA), Ivanovo (Russia), Manchester and Liverpool (United Kingdom).
) Leipzig in sosednje mesto Halle sta del omrežja „Shrinking Cities“ (http://www.shrinkingcities.com/), projekta, ki ga od 2002 do
Access to ownership... and to jobs around EUR 7.3 million to the ‘Quality of the urban area’ measure.
Dostopnost nepremičnin ... in delovnih mest
Various sources of funding made it possible to improve the Karl-Heine canal and convert former industrial sites into green areas and also permitted less material measures such as an innovative system of letting out land.
„Na vzhodu imajo ljudje zelo malo bogastva. Mnogi si želijo nepremičnino, a nimajo sredstev za nakup in obnovo,“ razlaga Christoph Scheffen, koordinator v agenciji Immothek, ki se ukvarja s socialnimi stanovanji.
Even more than the largest areas of abandoned industrial sites, Leipzig has many small areas of wasteland that need no more than a cleaning and planting operation to become gardens or play areas.
Agencijo podpirata program URBAN in mesto Leipzig. „Naša vloga je s pomočjo arhitektov prostovoljcev poiskati proste nepremičnine, ki jih je mogoče obnoviti za razumno ceno, in jih ponuditi družinam, ki želijo kupiti stanovanje.
‘We bring together and help establish trust between the site owners and the individual or organisation that wants to use the site and try to get them to enter into a free loan agreement or a temporary leasing contract,’ explains Tobias Habermann, one of the two ‘neighbourhood managers’ in the URBAN zone.
Potencialnim kupcem, v povprečju šestim gospodinjstvom na zgradbo, omogočimo, da se spoznajo in ugotovijo, ali lahko shajajo in živijo v solastništvu.“ V zadnjih treh letih je na ta način dobilo lastnike 212 stanovanj, in sicer po nakupni ceni.
‘Everybody benefits and we get rid of many urban eyesores.
Leipzig je prvo nemško mesto, kjer smo preizkusili ta model, ki ga je subvencioniral program URBAN v višini 500 000 evrov.
We apply the same principle to certain empty shops on major roads.
Ocenjujemo, da je bilo mesto, po zaslugi programa, deležno 40 milijonov evrov investicij.
‘In the east, people have very limited assets.
Če želimo v mesto privabiti nove stanovalce, moramo polepšati naselja.
Although a lot of them would like to own their own homes, few of them have the means to buy and renovate a house,’ explains Christoph Scheffen, coordinator of the Immothek social housing agency that is supported by URBAN and the City of Leipzig.
S tem se ukvarja ukrep „Kakovost urbanega prostora“, ki ga s 7,3 milijona evrov podpira program URBAN.
‘Our role, with the aid of architects who provide their services free of charge, is to seek available buildings that can be renovated at a reasonable cost and propose them to families who are seeking to buy.
Z združevanjem različnih virov financiranja so lahko bolje izkoristili kanal Karl-Heine in preoblikovali zapuščena industrijska zemljišča v zelene površine.
We then bring together these potential buyers – an average of six households per building – so they can get to know one another and see whether they think they get on well enough to buy the building together on a joint ownership basis.’
Z nematerialnimi ukrepi so vzpostavili inovativen sistem oddajanja zemljišč.
Between 2002 and 2005, 212 houses found buyers in this way.
Leipzig ima vse polno majhnih neizkoriščenih parcel, ki jih je treba le očistiti in spremeniti v park ali igrišče.
Leipzig is the first city in Germany to support this type of operation, the model for which was developed thanks to an URBAN grant of €500 000 euros.
„Navezujemo stike oziroma omogočamo anonimne odnose med lastniki zemljišč in osebami oziroma organizacijami, ki želijo uporabljati te površine.
The operation is believed to have generated €40 million in investments and about 200 new jobs.
Poskrbimo, da sklenejo brezplačno najemno pogodbo oziroma začasno najemno pogodbo,“ pojasnjuje Tobias Habermann, eden od dveh „menedžerjev soseske“ območja URBAN.
A study carried out by The German Planning Institute (Deutsches Institut für Urbanistik / DIFU) found that the budget of around EUR 20 million available to URBAN Leipziger Westen generated EUR 280 million in private capital.
Študija nemškega urbanističnega instituta (Deutsches Institut für Urbanistik) je pokazala, da je 20 milijonov evrov proračunskih sredstev iz programa URBAN Leipziger Western spodbudilo 280 milijonov evrov zasebnih sredstev.
‘This is certainly an excellent result,’ confirms Bertram Plate, coordinator of the programme’s social projects, ‘but what I find even more impressive is that we found in our neighbourhoods the same enthusiasm that prevailed in the early days of reunification but that had evaporated in the face of the harsh realities of restructuring.’
„To je nedvomno odličen rezultat,“ ugotavlja Bertram Plate, koordinator socialnih projektov programa, „a še bolj čudovito se mi zdi to, da smo v soseskah naleteli na navdušenje, ki je zavladalo v trenutku padca železne zavese, in ki je kasneje, ob soočenju s sivo stvarnostjo prenove, zbledelo.“

The same regained enthusiasm and pride is also found in a region far from Leipzig that does not share the experiences of its recent past because it is in Western Germany.
Preporod navdušenja in ponos sta še posebej vidna v regiji, ki je precej oddaljena od Leipziga in ima popolnoma drugačno sodobno zgodovino, saj se nahaja v zahodni Nemčiji.
