Abstract

The new tendency to have a competition of ideas and projects in the field of space management has captured the attention of the decision makers, especially at the level of Cluj-Napoca. The context of collaborative governance is put under pressure from investors who want to put their mark on the community and look for an administration with which to work together to benefit from both sides. The theoretical model, that of the framework for collaborative governance can provide a cross-cutting perspective on the projects analyzed in the case study. The model was based on a qualitative analysis of official documents (reports and studies) and interviews to highlight the elements that make up the framework of collaborative governance for finding solutions for public spaces in Cluj-Napoca. The main solutions and findings have encouraged creativity while supporting urban landscape, architectural, hydrological and impact research in the sense of an integrated concept of urban remodeling for the Cluj-Napoca relationship with the novelty, attractiveness and functionality, awareness and respect for the environment surrounding, not ignoring certain historical and spatial aspects. Most of the analyzed participants (public, private, NGOs) are important to align the community-public relation with contemporary urban thinking, demonstrating that they can bring them back to the active life of the city, redefining their contact with them. In the context of collaborative governance, the model can be considered a good practice at the level of Cluj-Napoca through this approach.
