Nova Gorica – lessons so far • BARRIERS • difficulties with coordination body • limited cooperation • language barriers • different planning systems and cultures • PT is a main topic, though limited responsibilites
Nova Gorica – lessons so far • Joint/regional SUMP is a better solution for: • regions with polycentric structure of the region • smaller cities with capacity problems • strong influence from higher levels of governance
Conclusions • FUTURE PLANS • National SUMP platform • national SUMP audit scheme • SUMP implementation
Conclusions • GENERAL • SUMP works well on all scales • initial ownership is crucial • guidelines are only a framework • higher level support boosts the take up • lack of knowledge and expertise • unclear legal status of SUMPs • involvement from the national level
Conclusions • SMALLER CITIES • inclusive and productive SUMPs • no strategic mobility planning • changes in planning practice • limited capacities • influence from higher levels • regional SUMPs as solution
