Integrated Territorial Investment in the UK journal article

A Tale of Two Regions

Stephen Miller, Arno van der Zwet

European Structural and Investment Funds Journal, Volume 6 (2018), Issue 1, Page 51 - 57

This article reviews how the UK is implementing Integrated Territorial Investment (ITI) as part of the Sustainable Urban Development (SUD) agenda in 2014-20, in line with ERDF Article 7 requirements and the use of ITI outwith the Article 7 requirements. This article provides an overview of the current status of these instruments in the UK and how they are being implemented. The specific case of London is used to provide a detailed example at local level of the operationalisation of SUD using the ITI instruments. This is compared with the ITI in Cornwall and the Isles of Scilly which is implemented as a non-SUD ITI. The article reflects on the main differences between the two approaches and their policy implications.


Emerging Trends and Challenges in Community-Led Local Development (CLLD) journal article

Stephen Miller

European Structural and Investment Funds Journal, Volume 2 (2014), Issue 4, Page 302 - 307

Community-Led Local Development (CLLD) is a new tool for delivering sub-regional interventions under the ESI Funds in the 2014-2020 period, which presents a range of opportunities and challenges to programming authorities. Whilst European Regional Development Fund (ERDF)- or European Social Fund (ESF)-supported CLLD is not being adopted by all Member States, those which are will be adopting a variety of approaches to design and implementation. Four questions of interest to CLLD stakeholders are identified through an overview of emerging approaches to CLLD design and implementation. These are: The extent of CLLD take-up; management and administration approaches; the extent of financial commitment; and territorial focus. The case study of Tyrol, Austria, provides an example of one region’s approach to addressing these questions. Making effective and forward-looking use of harmonisation and simplification options, as well as exploiting the versatility and innovative potential of CLLD, will encourage its success in the 2014-2020 period.
