Las disparidades pueden entenderse como el resultado de un fallo del mercado. Por lo tanto, es preciso llevar a cabo intervenciones que guarden relación con un proceso de regeneración. A fin de abordar este problema, la Comisión Europea decidió presentar la iniciativa de Ayuda Europea Conjunta en Apoyo de Inversiones Sostenibles en Zonas Urbanas (JESSICA), como parte de la política de cohesión ejecutada en el período comprendido entre 2007 y 2013. JESSICA es un instrumento financiero rotatorio que se centra en el desarrollo sostenible de las ciudades, y 11 Estados miembros decidieron poner a prueba la solución propuesta. El primer país en firmar el acuerdo fue Polonia, que implantó JESSICA en cinco regiones (Pomorskie, Mazowieckie, Śląskie, Wielkopolskie y Zachodniopomorskie). Este enfoque innovador entrañó numerosos desafíos para todas las partes interesadas (actores europeos, regionales y locales procedentes tanto del sectorpúblico como del privado) que participaron en la planificación y la implementación de la iniciativa. La metodología empleada se basa en el paradigma positivista, que examina las relaciones causales entre las intervenciones públicas (proyectos) y sus efectos. Se ha adoptado un enfoque realista en las técnicas de evaluación, así como en nuestra propia evaluación de todos los proyectos, realizada por expertos, que se han fundamentado a través de numerosas herramientas analíticas como el agrupamiento jerárquico y aglomerativo. De las principales conclusiones del estudio se desprende que los proyectos ejecutados en Polonia tan solo cumplen parcialmente los supuestos teóricos, y que las imensiones social y horizontal del desarrollo sostenible han estado infrarrepresentadas. Se observan ciertas divergencias a nivel regional en lo que respecta al enfoque modelo, y una región destaca en cuanto a la calidad de los proyectos (Zachodniopomorskie). Los proyectos relacionados con el patrimonio histórico o cultural, seguidos de los que se centran en la reconversión de los terrenos industriales abandonados, son los que mejor reflejan la complejidad del desarrollo urbano sostenible10aEU10aEU funds10afinancial engineering10aJESSICA10aPoland10asustainable development10aurban regeneration1 aMusiałkowska, Ida1 aIdczak, Piotr  uhttps://hdl.handle.net/11362/4868502358nam a2200253   4500008004100000020001800041245011800059210006900177260003100246300001000277520154600287653002001833653000701853653001301860653002601873653001201899653001101911653002201922653001701944653002301961100001801984700002302002856007902025       2022                        eng d  a978311076219800aFinancial Engineering in Sustainable Funding of Urban Development in the EU Reflections on the JESSICA Initiative0 aFinancial Engineering in Sustainable Funding of Urban Developmen  aBerlin/ BostonbDe Gruyter  a1-2433 aThis theoretically rooted and research-based book provides insights on the JESSICA funding model which – unlike the traditional non-repayable aid – focuses on supporting sustainable urban development projects in a repayable and recyclable way. Looking through the lens of the JESSICA financial engineering mechanism used in urban transformation, it examines the functioning and performance thereof and formulates policy recommendations for the future. The aim of this volume is to contribute to a deeper understanding of the JESSICA sustainable funding model by exploring its repayable assistance mechanism to support sustainable urban development projects. The authors make several noteworthy contributions to the literature on EU cohesion policy and shed light on the use of the repayable instruments within public interventions, while providing, for the first time, a critical analysis of the JESSICA sustainable funding model from the holistic perspective which is especially relevant for supporting sustainable urban development. Financial Engineering in Sustainable Funding of Urban Development in the EU provides policy-significant findings that are important for EU cohesion policy in the field of repayable assistance to be reinvested in the long term in urban and regional transformation. Includes an in-depth exploration of the particular aspects of EU cohesion policy Provides theoretical discussion and empirics illustrated by figures and maps.

The Case of Poland0 aUrban Regeneration as a Specific Type of Public Policy Response   c08/2021  a204-2180 v43 a<p style="text-align: justify;">The paper examines the issue of whether the process of policy formulation and implementation on urban regeneration in Poland is done pursuant to the rules of a cycle of public policy-making. This is carried out through the use of the functioning cycle of public policy in Poland proposed by Zybała (2015) that stresses the specificities of Polish conditions in the public policy-making. Hence, the aim of the study is to provide an overview of public policy-making on urban regeneration in the context of legislative and institutional-administrative practices. In the light of increasingly complex challenges faced by cities, there is a need for the necessary counter-balancing regeneration measures taking a form of state sponsored public policy. Therefore, the Act on Regeneration was adopted in 2015. The paper concludes that the adoption of this Act was dominated by the legislator which, with relatively little contribution from other stakeholders, resulted in a rather unambitious set of legal provisions on regeneration that have not substantially changed the instrumental approach of local authorities to urban regeneration.</p>10aAct on Regeneration10afunctioning cycle of public policy10aPoland10apublic policy10aurban regeneration1 aIdczak, Piotr1 aMusiałkowska, Ida  uhttps://www.degruyter.com/document/doi/10.1515/openps-2021-0019/html01982nas a2200217   4500008004100000022001400041245013700055210006900192300001200261490000600273520122500279653002501504653003201529653002301561653002901584653002301613100001801636700002301654700001801677856006901695       2019                        eng d  a0867-889800aEcosystem services in the appraisal of the economic performance of urban regeneration projects exemplified by the JESSICA initiative0 aEcosystem services in the appraisal of the economic performance   a214-2290 v33 aThe purpose of this paper is to indicate the valuation importance of externalities derived from the urban ecosystem services (UES) in terms of their applicability in the appraisal process of urban regeneration projects co-financed from European funds. Specifically, it examines the impact of UES on the project's economic performance, and thereby on human quality of life. Using the discounted cash flow method, this paper estimates the project's economic performance indicators including the identified UES upon their prior valuation. The valuation was carried out on the basis of the benefit analysis, contingent valuation method-"willingness to pay" and benefit transfer method, as recommended by Bernaciak, Wojcieszak (2014) and Zawojska et al. (2016). Results show that urban projects including UES are characterised by the higher values of the economic performance indicators and they should be assessed higher than projects with little or no UES because of their stronger contribution to the sustainable development of urban areas. In spite of the fact that there are limitations due to the UES valuation techniques used in the study, the presented approach could be an important tool for the project's appraisal.10aeconomic performance10aenvironmental externalities10aJESSICA initiative10aurban ecosystem services10aurban regeneration1 aIdczak, Piotr1 aMusiałkowska, Ida1 aMrozik, Karol  uhttp://ekonomiaisrodowisko.pl/uploads/Ei%C5%9A70/08%20idczak.pdfno socket
