Strategies of Integrated Interventions in Greece: Tools and Governance Schemes

Abstract

The integrated approach to urban development consists is an EU policy direction, which was incorporated into the institutional framework by many Member States. This paper aspires to explore, through a critical presentation, the principles and aspects of spatial governance practices of the main tools of Integrated Urban Intervention in Greece. The research concerns governance synergies, both horizontally and vertically, and more specifically, the schemes, mechanisms and tools through which the coordination of the implementation and funding of actions may be achieved. The critical presentation of the governance of a relevant program applied in Germany for nearly two decades is expected to contribute to this effort. © 2020, © 2020 Informa UK Limited, trading as Taylor & Francis Group.
