Urban Development Policy

Many countries are moving to a new technological structure, caused by the 4th industrial and technological revolution. This transition is accompanied by the transformation of the previously existing territorial organization of the economy, infrastructure and resettlement, which relates to issues of urban development policy. In this case, coordination of the interests of the state and business is required. An effective tool in this area is public-private partnership (PPP). The main goal is the development of tools for the implementation of innovative urban development policy in the technological and social transformation of the economy. The methodological basis is the methodologies, approaches in the works of foreign and Russian scientists in the field of PPP research in the implementation of innovative urban policy. The main results of the study are following: 1.The modern task of urban development policy is the formation of a comfortable environment that will ensure a high standard of living for the population. 2. For the implementation of this task, the “adaptive territory” approach is suggested. 3. The modern tool for this approach is PPP. The main conclusions and recommendations can be used to justify the mechanisms for implementing innovative urban development policy in order to harmonize the interests of the state and business in the implementation of the “adaptive territory” approach, which meets the modern development paths of the global economy.

The City

The purpose of this article is to assess the quality of life of the residents of a degraded satellite area of a city. It is considered in the context of urban development policy – as the result of decisions and as a challenge for long-term development. The research was based on a case study, which is the district of Opole referred to as Metalchem. It is characterized by an isolated location in the city structure as well as economic transformations. The study was based primarily on an analysis of source materials and results of a survey. The results show that the assessment of the quality of life is inconsistent. The living conditions are good, but satisfactory fulfilment of social needs is lacking. The residents of the studied area feel that their quality of life is lower than that of other residents of the city. This situation is the result of three main factors: insufficient access to public services, an ingrained negative image of the quarter, and a lack of coherence and continuity of the policy regarding this area. Research shows that the quality of life of the residents of degraded and satellite districts depends on the management and investments in the area, on the area’s perceived status within the city, but primarily on a consistent implementation of spatial and economic policies. Ensuring cohesion and integration between the satellite districts and the city center as well as other districts is also important.
