20.500.12556/DiRROS-21469 Ljubljana - European green capital 2016 from strategic spatial planning to governance Ljubljana was the first post-socialist city awarded with the title European Green Capital. The title awarded by the European Commission is given to a city that is achieving high environmental standards, is setting ambitious goals for further environmental improvement and sustainable development, and can act as a role model to inspire other cities and promote best practices to all other European cities. The article is based on a hypothesis that at the moment when Ljubljana applied for (and was awarded) the European Green Capital title, it had strong strategic spatial planning and successful territorial governance, as well as the interweaving of both. To prove the hypothesis, the timetable and characteristics of the strategic spatial planning and territorial governance in Ljubljana are presented in this article and critically evaluated. Critical evaluation and analyses are also assessed using a qualitative research method, i.e., semi-structured in-depth interviews among experts from four professional fields including spatial planning, urbanism, architecture, and management. The results confirmed the hypothesis: Ljubljana’s sustainability-oriented strategic spatial plan prepared by a variety of stakeholders, experts, and citizens, as well as the effective governance system established by the mayor, a manager by profession, were two factors that coincided at a crucial moment. This was recognized by the European Commission and Ljubljana was awarded a prestigious title. Ljubljana can therefore serve as an excellent sustainable example for other post-socialist cities in terms of strategic spatial planning and governance. sustainable city development urban planning post-socialist city sustainable innovation trajnostno mesto trajnostno načrtovanje mest postsocialistično mesto urbanistično načrtovanje urejanje krajine true false false Angleški jezik Slovenski jezik Neznano 2025-02-10 14:22:46 2025-02-10 14:22:46 2025-02-11 03:36:32 0000-00-00 00:00:00 2024 0 0 Nasl. z nasl. zaslona; Opis vira z dne: 16. 4. 2024; Abstract; str. 1-25 iss. 8 Vol. 16 2024 0000-00-00 NiDoloceno NiDoloceno apc 0000-00-00 0000-00-00 2024-01-01 712 2071-1050 10.3390/su16083332 192756995 RAZ_Dimitrovska_Andrews_Kaliopa_2024.pdf RAZ_Dimitrovska_Andrews_Kaliopa_2024.pdf 1 923C0591ADD6A14E75AD12D9C8522DDE 3a3f10aa9789dfe3b0c628f02b4cd71387536fef8542c76737b03a0ca4ae3be4 c19c3c31-e7b3-11ef-9f1e-001a4af901a5 https://dirros.openscience.si/Dokument.php?lang=slv&id=30645 https://www.mdpi.com/2071-1050/16/8/3332 0 01cc408b-e7b4-11ef-9f1e-001a4af901a5 https://dirros.openscience.si/Dokument.php?lang=slv&id=30646 Urbanistični inštitut Republike Slovenije 0 0 0
