This document discusses the COMUNIS project, which aims to develop inter-municipal cooperation strategies for sustainable commercial location development in Alpine regions. The project will examine existing frameworks and strategies in pilot areas and derive best practices. It will then develop a concerted strategy for commercial location development consisting of organizational, structural, and spatial planning components. This strategy will be tested in the pilot areas of Leiblachtal/Großes Walsertal in Austria to implement trans-municipal cooperation, examine land use management strategies, and test an image strategy. The goal is to prevent competing development between municipalities and foster diversified and environmentally-friendly economic growth.
This document summarizes activities from the COMUNIS project workshop in Lyon, France. The workshop included discussions on analyzing each pilot area using a balanced scorecard and SWOT analysis tool. Partners also discussed developing a common strategy for inter-municipal commercial location development and examined examples of best practices. Additionally, project activities in the Alpsee-Grünten region of Germany were outlined, including a planned company survey and workshop in spring 2010.
The document describes the Balanced Scorecard (BSC) method, which was chosen by the COMUNIS project consortium to analyze business location development in different regions. The BSC structures the analysis across three core fields (location profile, inter-municipal cooperation, commercial land use management) and divides each field into axes and indicators to measure goals. It provides a standardized way to evaluate the current state of locations, identify challenges and opportunities, and develop strategies. The consortium will further develop the indicators and rating scale to apply the BSC specifically to analyzing business location development across different regions involved in the COMUNIS project.
This IMC Toolkit has been prepared by the Council of Europe (CoE), the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) and the Local Government Initiative (LGI) of the Open Society. It has been developed at this point of time because local self government in many European countries is faced with challenges for which IMC offers possible solutions.
This newsletter provides information on the third meeting of the COMUNIS partnership project. The meeting was hosted in Sonthofen, Germany and focused on models for inter-municipal commercial location development. Field trips were taken in the German pilot region of Alpsee-Grünten to analyze strengths and weaknesses. Work package 6 on implementing strategies was also officially launched. Updates from other pilot regions on activities like location analyses in Tarare, France and the use of the PLA model in Vorarlberg, Austria were provided. The newsletter concludes with announcements of upcoming project events and activities.
This document provides a summary of a comparative analysis of lessons learned from recent public-private partnership projects in Western Balkan countries. It finds that there are different approaches to defining PPP projects and major gaps in the PPP project cycle across countries in the region. The analysis identified diversity in how countries approach what constitutes a PPP project and shortcomings in project preparation, assessment, procurement, implementation and monitoring. It provides recommendations to address issues such as compliance with EU regulations, capacity of institutions overseeing PPPs, enforcement of procurement laws, and administrative capacity for PPP project management.

The Global Change Research Network in European Mountains (MRI Europe)
In the Alpine Space project COMUNIS (co-financed by the ERDF), eleven partners from Austria, France, Germany, Italy, Switzerland and Slovenia aim at facilitating the strategic steering of commercial location development (CLD) on the inter-municipal level. To this end, the location profile, the degree of inter-municipal cooperation, and the framework conditions for commercial land use management were examined in eight pilot areas. On the basis of best practice examples and theoretical models, strategy options of inter-municipal CLD were
developed and examined for applicability with regard to the situation and development
objectives of the pilot areas.
The guidelines were created as part of the COMUNIS project to describe a concept for inter-municipal commer-
cial location development (CLD), providing stakeholders and actors on the municipal and regional levels with op-
tions for action, tools, instruments, and implementation examples to plan and control comprehensive CLD from
developing a commercial profile to implementing specific measures.
The document provides information on the evaluation of the COMUNIS project, which aimed to develop strategies for inter-municipal cooperation on business location development in alpine regions. It describes the evaluation tools used, including a balanced scorecard approach. It then provides details on the activities and outcomes in each of the 8 pilot areas involved in the project, highlighting both successes in inter-municipal cooperation and commercial land use management, as well as ongoing challenges. The document concludes with recommendations to build on the results of the project.

All’indomani dell’approvazione da parte del Consiglio dei Ministri (avvenuta il 19 novembre 2009) del disegno di legge “Calderoli” sugli enti locali, l’Osservatorio sulla Riforma amministrativa della Regione Piemonte ci chiese di riflettere sulle conseguenze che l’eventuale entrata in vigore della riforma avrebbe potuto comportare sull’ordinamento dei governi locali nella nostra regione. L’Osservatorio era specificamente interessato a uno degli aspetti affrontati dal disegno di legge governativo, ossia alle trasformazioni che sarebbe stato necessario introdurre sulle forme di cooperazione intercomunale.
This document summarizes the proceedings of the 5th Transnational Project Meeting of the COMUNIS project in Asti, Italy. It discusses the progress made by partners on developing guidelines for inter-municipal cooperation on commercial location development. While one municipality (Immenstadt) voted to abandon the joint project in the Alpsee-Grünten region, the other partner municipalities intend to continue their cooperation to draft an agreement and association for a joint commercial development project in the region. The final conference of the COMUNIS project will be held in Bolzano, Italy, in March 2012 to discuss methods for analyzing strengths/weaknesses for inter-municipal cooperation and developing sustainable commercial areas through partnership.
This newsletter provides updates from the COMUNIS project, which aims to foster inter-municipal cooperation around strategic business location development in Alpine regions.
The first article summarizes a project meeting held in Bregenz, Austria, where partners presented the progress and implementation models in their pilot regions. The second article describes a "welcome policy" launched in Tarare, France to attract new businesses and residents. The third article notes that the last municipality in Leiblachtal, Germany agreed to join the COMUNIS project and cooperate on a joint business location strategy for the region.
The document discusses the challenge of competing between adjacent municipalities in Alpine regions for economic development. While not unique to the Alps, the mountainous terrain creates different conditions than lowlands that require cooperation between municipalities. The COMUNIS project aims to develop cooperative strategies for inter-municipal commercial location development in mountain areas. It does this through analyzing the situation, devising joint strategies, and implementing management structures in selected pilot regions to overcome individualistic approaches and facilitate demand-driven land use.
The document provides an introduction to mobility management for business and industrial zones. It discusses the benefits of developing mobility plans to promote sustainable transportation options for employee commutes. The guide outlines a 5-step process for developing a mobility plan that involves evaluating existing mobility, surveying employees, deciding on interventions, implementing solutions from the guide's boxes, and re-evaluating. It emphasizes the importance of participation, management support, monitoring, and evaluation for an effective mobility plan. Finally, the guide introduces a new mobility labeling tool to help assess plan implementation and progress over time.
The document summarizes a field trip taken by local municipalities to study examples of inter-municipal cooperation in managing commercial areas, visiting business parks and discussing how cooperation is organized, costs are shared, demand is analyzed, and the benefits of cooperation. The field trip helped the municipalities learn from existing models and clarify which practices could work for their region's commercial development.
The document discusses factors that contribute to the success or failure of large urban transport infrastructure projects based on case studies of 19 projects across various cities and countries. It analyzed the projects based on 6 proposed success factors and 3 measures of success. The most important conclusion is that many elements need to be right for a project to be successful, and effective procurement and financing appeared to be the most critical of the 6 success factors studied. The document provides lessons learned for delivering successful transport projects, including having an effective procurement and financing strategy, long-term public planning, rigorous project planning, clear political authority and support, and a focus on achieving successful operations.

This document discusses how project management practices differ in emerging economies compared to developed economies. In emerging economies, project management focuses primarily on meeting deadlines and costs due to constraints, whereas developed economies can focus more on principles and methodologies. However, globalization is changing practices as emerging economies provide low-cost labor. The author argues that project management principles need to be extended to address circumstances in emerging economies that may cause deviations from standard practices. Key differences discussed include scope management challenges due to unclear specifications, schedule pressures from investment needs, high attrition risks, and business valuations driven by growth potential and labor availability in emerging markets.
The document describes the dissemination and implementation plan for the SDI-EDU project. The plan outlines target groups including spatial planners and architects. It details a communication strategy involving a project website, workshops, publications, and networking. Key dissemination tools are listed such as the project website, geoportal, press releases, and branding guidelines. Milestones include partner meetings and conferences to disseminate results.
This is my report on IC of cities with recommendations to the European Commission on how to proceed. Participating cities were Donostia-San Sebastian, Sevilla, Dos Hermanas and Donegal, Ireland. To much effort has been given to build tangible assets like highways and ITK. However, the intangible assets, like people and the "way-of-work" has been neglected. This should be considered in the next steps in order to achieve our Lisbon goals to become the leading region in the world when it comes to wealth and innovation.

Capital Improvement Programs (CIPs) are long-term fiscal planning documents that forecast capital expenditures over multiple years and projects. CIPs connect prolonged infrastructure improvements to multi-year funding plans. Standardizing CIPs aids in developing annual budgets and financial reports while also planning future bond needs or changes in services and taxes. Organizations should classify CIP data using the fourteen categories to streamline financial planning and allow peer comparisons.
The COMUNIS project aims to develop coordinated strategies for commercial location development (CLD) in Alpine regions. Currently, municipalities compete individually without regional coordination. COMUNIS will examine CLD strategies and best practices, then adapt them to different Alpine regions. It will provide guidelines and tools to assess demand and guide CLD. The project will establish knowledge sharing and sustainable CLD management structures in pilot regions, including at least three that achieve inter-municipal cooperation, such as joint development plans or cost/revenue sharing agreements.

This document provides an overview of the COMUNIS project, which aimed to promote inter-municipal cooperation for strategic commercial location development in small and medium-sized enterprises in the Alpine region. The project was led by the University of Applied Sciences Western Switzerland and involved partners from several Alpine countries. It identified challenges to inter-municipal cooperation through case studies of six pilot areas and developed guidelines to address issues like available land, perceptions of areas, and frameworks for businesses. The guidelines outline an eight-step process for contexts, analysis, visioning, strategy, implementation, and evaluation of inter-municipal commercial location development projects.
This document provides a typology of 33 knowledge management tools categorized by whether they are formal or informal, involve face-to-face interaction, use electronic media, contain explicit or implicit knowledge. It then provides examples of how some of these tools, such as storytelling, communities of practice, workshops and webpages, could be used within the Comunis project to share and manage knowledge between partners.
This document provides a summary of information exchange for the Alpsee-Grünten pilot region of the Comunis project. It details the participants involved, the channels and tools used for information exchange, and types of events organized. Meetings, workshops, and presentations were key events for sharing information. Newspapers, websites, and newsletters helped disseminate updates. While meetings facilitated valuable discussions, language barriers and ensuring all actors remain equally informed presented challenges to information flow between partners and regions.
The document outlines the knowledge management and dissemination activities of the COMUNIS project. It discusses work packages related to design, management, and spreading results. It also covers basics of knowledge dissemination including fostering curiosity, knowledge exchange factors like openness and trust, and the knowledge spiral of collecting, developing, disseminating and applying knowledge. Target groups and levels of knowledge exchange between locations and partners are also mentioned.
lm Rahmen des Alpine Space-Projekts COMUNIS (Inter-municipal cooperation for strategie steering of SME-ariented location develapment in the Alpine Space) untersucht die EURAC mit dem Passeiertal eine von insgesamt acht Pilotregionen im Alpenraum: Ziel ist es, die regionale Gewerbeflachenentwicklung zu steuern und kooperative Strategien für eine interkommunale Gewerbestandortentwicklung zu erarbeiten.
A survey was conducted of companies to determine future demand for commercial land in municipalities. The survey asked about companies' needs for additional land or space in the short, medium, and long term. It also asked about important location factors and whether companies had unused commercial areas. Over 700 companies responded. The results showed some companies requiring additional land in the short term but overall demand exceeded the current available supply in the medium and long term. The survey provided data for municipalities to plan commercial land use and development.

Approach
The approach of COMUNIS is based on the
idea of structurally decomposing the
multifaceted matter of commercial
location development (CLD). To this end, a
number of settings in the Alpine area will be
examined. Project partners will look into the
existing legal framework, strategies and
systems to manage the location of
companies. The pros and cons of existing
systems will be considered. Measures
derived thereof will later be tested in
selected pilot areas (Fig. 1). The method is
specified below.
Fig. 1: The project is comprised of seven inter‐related work packages (WP).
