Abstract
CRISALIDE is one of the very few projects financed between EU and Russian Federation through the ERA NET-RUS PLUS programme. The change, as the catalyser of innovation, is embedded in urban life. The change covers different fields; for instance, the demography, the citizens’ behaviours, the working patterns, the use and extension of both public space and sphere the modes/means of production and so on. Urbanisation is a great opportunity for supporting innovative choices and urban solutions. CRISALIDE aims at experimenting an innovative methodology looking at linking the decision to different factors both connected to horizontal and vertical governance. A participatory planning approach concretely looks for a multi-level governance dialogue and relies on state-of-the-art technology to design an e-platform facilitating the decision-making process. The platform is abstracting, digitalising and finally creating a replicable and user-friendly tool based on an enlarged participatory planning process grounded on public–private–people partnership (PPPP) principle. The platform is harmonising the contribution of stakeholders in diverse planning domains and formalise them through key performance indicators (KPIs) providing values at disposal to decision makers linked to grade of smartness and comprehensive quality of life generated by the triggered regenerative/transformative planning process. Strategic, smart and integrated urban management is a key tool to promote stable growth and effective processes of innovation. New efforts to modernise the Russian economy and face global issues as well have taken on an even greater significance since the implementation of Western sanctions. Cities can be the natural catalyser for promoting innovation, as they contain all strategic elements, at a scale of proximity. This paper will show the state of play on discussions related to urban planning and innovation; it will focus on the Russian case and provide evidence of first achieved results in the testbed area situated in Rostov-on-Don.
