From Integrated Management of City Development to Urban Tourism
Keywords:
integrated development planning, sustainable urban development, creative economy, urban tourismAbstract
Parallel to the deindustrialisation processes of cities at the end of the last century, the positive and negative connotations of the globalisation process have caused cities and urban areas to deal with numerous challenges: unemployment, social stratification, overpopulation, loss of identity, and spatial, transport and environmental protection issues. Strategically integrated management of development improves competitiveness and creates new opportunities of sustainable development in urban centres. In 2015, the UN General Assembly confirmed that culture is a key element for the sustainable development of urban areas, as it unites the economic, spatial and social components. The cultural and creative industries are becoming the main drivers of development. Based on the Local Agenda 21, managing tourism and urban development is supported by strategic planning, management and realisation of sustainable urban development. Integrated urban tourism planning creates new opportunities for the local economy, while also preserves the cultural identity of cities as well as sustainable and inclusive development. In applying a sustainable planning approach, the City of Rijeka is on its way of transforming from an industrial port city to the European Capital of Culture in 2020.
