What we have learned (so far)What we have learned (so far)
Development of customised JESSICA structures in different constituencies, based on interrelated set of factors:
Consultative development of JESSICA required; Constructive co-operation of public sector actors at different level crucial
Top-down vs. bottom-up development
Scope of JESSICA widening (i.e. energy efficiency in housing)
Varying starting points for UDFs…
Banks as UDF vehicles?
Cities as UDF initiators?
UDFs beyond financing?
No blueprint for JESSICA! Replicability limited, but knowledge- sharing important, both on national and pan-European level!

JESSICA in GermanyJESSICA in Germany
JESSICA perspective: mainly regional UDFs (Länder). However, diversity in terms of strategy / stakeholders / instruments
State of play:
Brandenburg and Saxony: UDF to be operational in 2009
Hamburg City State and North-Rhine Westphalia: Concept development and feasibility study under way
Saarland and Rhineland-Palatinate: Strong interest, feasibility studies started / envisaged
Berlin City State: Feasibility study; Evaluation of options ongoing
Moreover: Strong Federal Government support (ExWoSt); KfW (national promotional bank) complementary equity fund for project co- financing; Good best-practice examples regarding integrated urban development
Customised approaches in the German Länder

42 target areas / municipalities for urban development promotion;
MIR call for INSEK proposals (guidelines provided); Inter-ministerial evaluation;
15 of 42 municipalities selected for possible UDF financing, based on the quality of their integrated urban plans (early 2008)
Plan components (projects) to be analysed in terms of their feasibility and revenue- generating potential (ILB/MIR)
Choice of suitable promotional strategy for project financing (grant or fund-based)
Phase II (PROJECTS):Project viability analysis

JESSICA in GermanyJESSICA in Germany
JESSICA developed top-down, but …
Paired with a guided, competetive procedure as a possible way to identify projects within integrated urban development plans for revolving UDF financing.
Think big, start small! - gradual expansion of pilot fund structure and operations recommended (volume, partners, instruments, risks).
Federal / National level support and in information sharing & research considered a strong catalyst

THE NATIONAL CONTEXTTHE NATIONAL CONTEXT
Wales is recognised as one of the world’s first industrial nations.
Unfortunately, the country’s industrial heritage and more recent economic history has left it with areas of entrenched and profound deprivation.
Economic disadvantage has been compounded by market failure and market inefficiencies that have resulted in significant physical decay in some localities, and demand/supply imbalances for almost all property types.
Public sector intervention in regeneration in Wales has therefore been a necessity for many decades, but means much more than land reclamation and property development.
23
REGENERATION IN WALESREGENERATION IN WALES
Defined as: Co-ordinated investment in activities delivering shared outcomes which enable a community – as a place, its people, and its social and economic prosperity – to fulfil its potential in line with agreed national, local and individuals’ priorities.
Policy agenda: To establish integrated and cross-cutting initiatives aimed at economic development and regeneration, particularly in areas of high deprivation.
The role of JESSICA in Wales is therefore to stimulate significant investment in « place » to complement investment in people and the economy in general.

THE ITALIAN CONTEXTTHE ITALIAN CONTEXT
URBAN REGENERATION INSTITUTIONS AND MARKET• Highly diversified experience / capability in the country• No standardisation of procedures – regions in charge of territory • Wide variety of integrated plan procedures, but
• fragmentation by gov’t level and through project cycle• analysis of financial viability generally under-emphasised
FUNDING INSTRUMENTS (UDF Candidates)• Bank lending (tradition for public-led local development) • Few dedicated equity instruments (need to adapt existing ones)
URBAN PROJECT VEHICLES (Examples)• PPPs• Fondi Immobiliari (operating as project implementers)• STU (Società Trasformazione Urbana)
32
LIGURIA LIGURIA –– initial and current proposalsinitial and current proposals
Region highly vulnerable to decline• Still suffering from historical heritage
(heavy industry, harbour, shipbuilding)• Demographically unbalanced (aging, population decrease)• Focus on attraction investment essential
Initial Task Force suggestions• Genoa as high tech / university pole• Fund for deprived urban areas• Mature-age attraction fund for coastal cities
Managing Authority’s final orientation• UDF for development of Genoa as high-tech pole, including
• New buildings for engineering university at Erzelli technology park• People-mover to new site• Business incubators in technology park• Residences / facilities for students and researchers

The Crisis and urban regenerationThe Crisis and urban regeneration
The roots of the crisis• The roaring nineties and the generous early century• Exuberance in investment and excessive leverage• Summer 2007 – the sub-prime problem• Summer-Winter 2008
from subprime to financial to aggregate demand crisis
• In recession – how deep and how long? Impact on urban regeneration
• “in simple terms it means that lenders won’t lend, borrowers can’t borrow, builders can’t build and buyers can’t buy”
38
JESSICA instruments JESSICA instruments in recessionary times in recessionary times ……
JESSICA instruments are (mostly) supply-side tools• Limited impact to fight demand collapse in the short term…• …but may play a relevant role in a long-lasting recession
Why bother? Two reasons:• See that JESSICA core long-term objectives are not compromised
by the current recession • Contribute to alleviate the recession
Contrasting implications…• The discreet charm of grants may be boosted …• … but public-sector backed instruments are now more robust …• … and local investment is likely to play and increased role.

Operational Programme
Holding Fund: rapid establishment prevents
de-commitment and may accelerate UDF
Managing Authority: flexible interpretation of
urban agenda in OP
European Commission: facilitate
use of instruments
UDF: construct for rapid delivery, use (also for
HF) in-kind contribution opportunities
Projects and Plans: construct for rapid
delivery, try to achieve risk-return balance suitable to changed
market circumstances
41
Adapting to recessionary times Adapting to recessionary times
Amending Operational Programmes (if necessary)• Flexible interpretation of urban agenda
Achieving faster delivery• Fine-tune the balance between “ready-to-go” projects and
integration requirements• Work to reduce risk of automatic de-commitment• Land/buildings as in-kind contribution to accelerate delivery of
matching funds
42
Structuring plans and projects Structuring plans and projects to fit changed market conditionsto fit changed market conditions
The “Urban” experience – come prima, più di prima• build on “Urban”-type investment principles - and more• flexible interpretation of integration in urban investment• focus on achieving sustainable outcomes rather than procedures
Construct plans and projects so that remuneration mechanisms• are less exposed to direct short-term demand• achieve suitable risk-return balance (e.g. focus on minimising risk)• have time profile to survive 3-5 years recession• can work with low private leverage in early phase
