| Sumario: | This document describes the research developed in the INSIGHT project sub-work package WP4.4 Public Services Models, which is framed in the WP4 Theoretical Modelling work package. WP4 also includes research on retail models, housing models and housing-retail-public services interaction models. In the landscape left by the economic crisis, Public Services policies are extremely important but at the same time are dramatically limited. On the one hand, significant negative socio-demographic changes and imbalances, such as the increasing social segregation or the rising economic inequality, must be tackled through policies oriented to fostering public services or improving the existing ones. On the other hand, the economic decline has reduced public resources limiting the launching of these new services and affecting the delivery of the existing ones. In this scenario, the delivery of efficient Public Services is fundamental and the location of public facilities becomes crucial. The research explores the application of different location models to the four project case studies (Barcelona, London, Madrid and Rotterdam), creating new approaches and methodologies oriented to assisting policy makers and urban planners at some of the Policy Cycle stages (defined in the INSIGHT document D2.2 Urban Planning and governance: current practices and new challenges), such as the analysis of the current scenario, the definition of policies and measures and the evaluation of future scenarios. |
