BrokeringSpaces 
Reviewing spatial governance instruments for integrated, practical transformation pathways, thereby prioritising ecosystem services and zero net land take

Outcomes

Overview

The lack of space in the Alps is causing challenges at the local level with significant socioeconomic impacts, specifically in the tourism, construction and environmental sectors. Since current approaches tackling this issue are scattered, BrokeringSpaces aims to explore the potential of integrating traditional local knowledge with regional spatial planning laws to create more specific and inclusive settlement areas. The project seeks to develop comprehensive transformation scenarios by assessing and combining legal and informal instruments.

    Outcomes


    • Compendium including decision-making tree for regions in need

      Compendium incl. decision-making tree showcasing exemplary success in practicable use of spatial instruments & constructive cooperation of legal framework & local instruments. As the main target group is the local level, it will be designed close-to-practice. Nevertheless, it will be a relevant document for further thinking & implementation for all other target groups as well (to be respected in the introductive chapters)(Draft in RP1 (D141), updated with feedback from mid-term conference)

    • Workable, practice oriented transformation scenario-scheme for local governance test regions that benefit from contributions from all governance levels and integrate land-taking sectors

      This seperated output will translate the compendium (O11) into applicable workable solutions, thereby focusing on - Stakeholder-driven, co-designed elaboration of a “Transformation scenario-scheme” for the governance landscape, including new stakeholders with impact on the governance level. - Preparation of concrete, place based implementation scenarios that would be ready for implementation. Main target groups of regional to transnational level. The D221 guidelines will be included.

    • Collective decision making processes to contribute to the multilevel governance of macroregional strategies

      All participating partners will operationalise their membership or liasion with EUSALP AG6, AG7, PlanAlp (Alpine Convention) to promote the elaborated concepts into the working groups: - for AG6 with focus on soil - for AG7 with focus on GI - for PlanAlp with focus on the general approach as a pathway towards more sustainable, climate-adaptive resilience.
