Summary
As a dedicated urban and regional development expert with more than 25 years of experience, I believe that cooperation, dialogue and mutual learning can help to create innovative, sustainable and inclusive complex solutions in urban regeneration and local or regional economic development. I have an understanding of the challenges that urban areas are facing, and I am committed to help to address these challenges, creating more equitable and resilient urban environments.
My involvement in a range of successful transnational initiatives capitalizing tangible and intangible cultural heritage elements taught me how to valorize these as drivers of innovation in a regional or local context and to create sustainable operational networks among cities, NGOs and public actors. These included several new European cultural routes, thematic tourism trails, network of urban archeological sites, etc.
Dialogue-based, integrated planning methods, sustainable tourism and mobility, urban design and urban-rural connections are among topics that I covered in recent years, mostly in the framework of INTERREG and URBACT projects.
