An urban experiment in small town sustainability in the UK: the case of Cittaslow
Member towns of the international network of slow cities are recent examples of the working out of development approaches that aim to involve local communities in the maintenance of the unique environmental and cultural heritage of individual locations. Formalised as Cittaslow, over the last two dec...

Les villes membres du réseau international des villes lentes sont des exemples récents de l’élaboration d'approches de développement qui visent à impliquer les communautés locales dans la préservation du patrimoine environnemental et culturel unique à une ville. Formalisée sous le nom de Cittaslow au cours des deux dernières décennies, ces villes ont dû répondre à un éventail de problèmes provoqués par le rythme de vie croissant associé à la mondialisation et, inversement, à la stagnation et au désinvestissement. Les exigences de la charte de Cittaslow offrent aux petites villes un moyen d’aborder le développement durable. Après avoir adhéré aux idées d’action promues par Cittaslow International, dix villes du Royaume-Uni ont travaillé à développer le soutien de la communauté pour un ensemble de mesures techniques complexes et interconnectées. Ceci a été effectué dans une période marquée par un passage du gouvernement à la gouvernance, et dans un climat économique caractérisé par l’austérité. Les témoignages fournis par les fonctionnaires locaux mettent en évidence le défi de maintenir un soutien à une vision du développement durable formulée ailleurs et que beaucoup de gens ont du mal à saisir. La qualité de vie et l’unicité locale sont néanmoins des objectifs larges, autour desquels on peut s’attendre à ce que les communautés continuent à s'organiser pour le développement durable. |

Member towns of the international network of slow cities are recent examples of the working out of development approaches that aim to involve local communities in the maintenance of the unique environmental and cultural heritage of individual locations. Formalised as Cittaslow, over the last two decades these towns are having to respond to a range of issues brought on by the increasing pace of life associated with globalisation and, conversely, stagnation due to being by-passed by footloose capital. The charter requirements of Cittaslow offer a means by which third-tier towns may address sustainable development. Having bought into the ideas for action promoted by Cittaslow International, ten towns in the UK have worked towards developing support in the community for a package of complex, connected technical measures. They have done so over a period marked by a shift from government to governance, and in an economic climate characterised by austerity. Evidence from local government officers points to the challenges of maintaining support for a view of sustainable development formulated elsewhere and which many people find hard to grasp. Quality of life and local uniqueness are nonetheless broad goals, around which communities can be anticipated to continue to organise in processes of governance for sustainable development. |
