Urban-rural Hub of Transylvania .:. Cluj-Napoca, RO

The UrbanRural Hub of Transylvania initiative aims to develop an integrated local land-food-policy. By connecting metropolitan spatial planning with the economic and cultural aspects of food chains, it strives to diminish economic discrepancies between the urban and the rural areas in the County of Cluj, improve public and environmental health, and create awareness for the agro-craft heritage of Transylvania. Adrian Răulea (City administration) and Eugen Pănescu (Start-up) take on the issue of free land consumption and urban sprawl, by focusing on the importance of spatial planning for the undeveloped areas on the outskirts that are either considered valueless land or are heavily polluted by the type of land use (high intensive farming). Short-chain farming activities in these areas preserve natural resources and serve as climate protection measures. Moreover, the diversified economy improves social resilience and strengthens the local agri-food and -tourism sector.
