Alba Iulia 2030 Strategy
Title: Integrated Strategic Urban Agenda Alba Iulia 2030
Acronym: Alba Iulia 2030
Beneficiary: Alba Iulia Association for Intercommunity Development through STATUS Project
A general strategy for the area has been developed before the STATUS project, the municipality (main associate) and the county capital - Alba Iulia -
lacked a strategic document to guide its development in the years to come. By entering the STATUS project, AIDA aims at developing a tool to
support Alba Iulia (the "other capital" of Romania) in shaping the integrated urban development agenda, in line with the current and current
realities for the 2014-2020 programming period.
The STATUS process is part of a higher concerted action aiming to modernize the city and its surroundings, which began in the last programming
period, when Alba Iulia has managed to attract nearly 150 million euros of structural funds, an amount , for a middle-sized city inhabited by 63500
people, was an important achievement in mitigating the effects of the financial crisis. As partners to develop participatory process local in Alba Iulia,
as well as the agenda of strategy building, we were commissioned to provide the city with a development agenda, STRATEGICS, commonly approved
and undertaken by all stakeholders, and to generate the following range of large scale cross-cutting projects to be implemented during the 2014-
2020 programming period. Our global vision was to: linking, integrating and capitalizing on previous point investments,improvement and
technical correlation, economic and social development through risk mitigation,change governance paradigm and participation by applying an EUwide
co-design methodology developed by STATUS.
