PERCEIVE Work Package 4
Spatial determinants of policy performance and synergies
How different EU policies interact both each other and with structural characteristics of territories?
Rural vs Urban.
To what extent differences and synergies between urban and rural areas impact on Cohesion Policy?
What is the role of national cultures?
Objectives:
The WP’s objectives are threefold. First, it aims to identify possible complementarities and synergies between EU Cohesion Policy, rural and urban policies supported by EU funds in order to improve the EU citizens’ perceptions of European Policy performance. Second, it aims to explore the interplay between EU Urban Policy and the implementation of ‘smart cities’ and define an innovative index of city’s ‘smartness’. Third, it aims to develop an in-depth analysis of discrepancies between regional policies implemented in each case study area and the “real problems” perceived by regional actors/population to allow the better understanding of spatial discrepancies between the EU citizens’ perceptions of European Policy performance.
Milestones:
- M10: Paper on smartness index, month 6;
- M11: Policy reccomendations, month 14;
- M12: Comparison between citizens and practitioners’ perception, month 15.
