The influence of judicial practice on intelligence actions in strengthening urban resilience in the context of European: the case of Romania

Abstract

Urban resilience is now a strategic priority for addressing economic, social, and environmental challenges, considering the transformations that have occurred in the European urban environment. This research aims to examine the impact of jurisprudence on collective intelligence actions to enhance urban resilience in Romania within the European context. Judicial practice plays a crucial role in creating regulations that enable collaboration between public institutions, communities, and the private sector, facilitating innovative solutions tailored to contemporary urban needs. The analysis focuses on the influence of Romanian court decisions on the development of urban resilience strategies, either directly or indirectly, through legal mechanisms that promote sustainability and encourage community participation in decision-making processes. By examining a representative sample of cases, the study highlights specific issues generated by the national legislative framework, as well as opportunities for implementing collective intelligence actions with a positive impact on urban communities. Collective intelligence is vital for adapting cities to major risks such as climate change, rapid urbanization, and increasing social vulnerabilities, in line with European objectives. Judicial practice in Romania can contribute to these processes by improving standards and creating a collaborative environment that fosters sustainable and inclusive solutions.The paper emphasizes the importance of the legal system in enhancing urban resilience and underscores the need to align national judicial practices with European directives on sustainable urban development. It contributes by highlighting the effects of adaptive jurisprudence on improving urban policies and increasing resilience in communities across Romania and Europe.
