Looking at mainstreaming at approach level, we can conclude with the
following findings:
• apart from Glasgow, where we have a very specific state system,
there is not yet evidence of mainstreaming of an integrated approach to
urban governance into the city-wide administrative system, but we can
see tendencies in this direction (Germany, UK, Ireland)
• in all cases neighbourhood regeneration is supported by national
legislation
• all approaches are based on time-limited plans and (still) a
physical bias; they are non-repeatable and follow-up systems can/must
built on the initiated networks
• in all cases the process
is steered by special purpose institutions which are integrated into
wider decision-making networks via steering boards; although these
boards secure a basic mode of integration, no city has succeeded yet in
a real integration of funding or a substantial feedback from these
experiments into mainstream policies
• an additional model to networking is the “institutional
interweaving”-approach, as it is seen in Glasgow
• in no case there is evidence of a city-wide integrated approach to
policy delivery, all cities have special treatment for deprived
neighbourhoods
