ABSTRACT

Since the 1990s, sustainability agenda has dominated cities’ efforts to improve their environment; has been elaborated in European Commission documents, has been disseminated and funded through different mechanisms. The paper examines the way urban sustainability has been framed in Thessaloniki’s EU funded urban regeneration projects, focusing on projects that have been materialized or planned, since the outbreak of the financial crisis in Greece in 2010. It places emphasis on conceptual shifts in EU policies regarding sustainability and their reflection on specific urban projects. A critical light is shed on imaginaries pursued, and processes employed in these projects.

摘要

自 1990 年代以来，可持续发展议程一直主导着城市改善环境的努力；已在欧盟委员会的文件中详细阐述，并通过不同的机制进行传播和资助。本文考察了塞萨洛尼基欧盟资助的城市更新项目中城市可持续性的构建方式，重点关注自 2010 年希腊金融危机爆发以来已经实现或计划的项目。它强调欧盟政策在概念上的转变。可持续性及其对特定城市项目的反思。批判性地阐明了这些项目中所追求的想象和过程。
