<strong>ENTER</strong>.<strong>HUB</strong> promotes the role of railway hubs/multimodal interfaces in medium cities as<br />
engines for integrated urban development and regeneration.<br />
The network of local actors will redefine the territorial and functional systems around<br />
these hubs, by exploiting these “agglomerates of flows” to strengthen connectivity at a<br />
local/regional/EU level for cities to become more competitive, to attract population and<br />
business in the face of the economic crisis.<br />
The project will be developed through the shaping of a framework composed by:<br />
“Territorial and urban actions”: 4 project macrothemes grouping the 9 project<br />
themes<br />
“Strategic and transversal policies”: 5 transversal themes.<br />
This composition was firstly established by a <strong>study</strong> of the state of the art at a European<br />
level, and then refined through the comparison of the knowledge/condition/needs of<br />
each partner, collected especially during the <strong>study</strong> visits.<br />
The difference between these 2 groups is basically:<br />
the Territorial and urban actions (themes and macrothemes) would be topics more<br />
linked to the object-hub and its territorial dimension (catchment area), having a<br />
territorial identity, being a sort of action on the territory and requiring further actions on<br />
the territory itself (projects, plans, interventions, actions etc both in the "adjacent zone”<br />
- like urban plans in the area and close to the hub, and at a wider level, e. g. the<br />
connecting (transport) system)<br />
The Strategic and transversal policies (transversal themes) would be more about the<br />
approaches, tools, strategies, policies etc. that we could use for developing these actions<br />
and as a consequence for exploiting these hubs. Developing these transversal policies<br />
could lead to cross-fertilization /mainstream integration with European Structural Funds.<br />
