A multi-sectoral platform, its aim was to promote a coordinated and\ncollaborative approach to the economic, social and cultural development of the\nregion on a cross-border basis.&nbsp; During\nthe course of 2015, however, a number of processes have aligned which create an\nexciting background for enhanced collaboration:</p>\n<!-- /wp:paragraph -->\n\n<!-- wp:list -->\n<ul><li>the Review of Public\nAdministration (RPA) in Northern Ireland, and the Reform of Local Government\nAgenda in Ireland,</li><li>the associated emergence of\nlike-with-like functions across local authorities in each jurisdiction;</li><li>the Stormont House Agreement\nmakes a commitment to relevant Ministers considering strategic approaches to\nthe development of the North West region; and</li><li>‘A Fresh Start’- The Stormont\nAgreement and Implementation Plan (2015) further commits to the development of\nthe North West Region of the Island including support for specific resources to\nassist with regional development and growth.</li></ul>\n<!-- /wp:list -->\n\n<!-- wp:paragraph -->\n<p>Together, these presented the Councils with\nthe opportunity to shift to a new arrangement which would be &nbsp;designed to deliver more comprehensive and\neffective engagement and alignment with central government.</p>\n<!-- /wp:paragraph -->\n\n<!-- wp:paragraph -->\n<p>This was to lead to the creation of the\nunique partnership that is the North West Strategic Growth Partnership in\n2016.&nbsp; Having been formally endorsed by\nboth Governments via the North South Ministerial Council in July 2016, the\nGrowth Partnership brings together senior Government officials from all\nGovernment departments in the Republic of Ireland and Northern Ireland to meet\nwith Donegal County Council and Derry City and Strabane District Council to\ndeliver on the strategic priorities aimed at bringing real and positive change\nfor the North West City Region.&nbsp; The new\narrangements focus around development and co-ordinated investment on an ongoing\nbasis in three key regional growth pillars: a) Economic Growth and Investment;\nb) Physical and Environmental Development; and c) Social and Community Cohesion\nand Wellbeing.</p>\n<!-- /wp:paragraph -->\n\n<!-- wp:paragraph -->\n<p>From October 2015, the ICLRD has supported\nthe Councils in the North West – in partnership with other key regional\nstakeholders and Central/Regional Government in both Dublin and Belfast – in\nthe activation of new structures through a process of programme development and\nhigh-level facilitation. A strong emphasis has been placed on animating and\nsupporting work activities around agreed planning priorities and the\nidentification of future collaborative projects.

It was practical in its focus and, through case studies and action learning, this 1-day event considered:</span>\n<ul>\n 	<li><span style=\"font-family: Arial,Verdana,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: x-small;\">how communities can best engage with decision-makers and the planning process so that their concerns and viewpoints are taken into account,</span></li>\n 	<li><span style=\"font-family: Arial,Verdana,Helvetica,sans-serif;

Our specific area of interest was on the implications of Brexit for spatial planning policy and practice on the island of Ireland, and the border region in particular, recognising that the planning systems of both Ireland and Northern Ireland (and the UK more broadly) are closely intertwined with European and international law, particularly on environmental issues. Taking a reflective position, and drawing on experiences from elsewhere – especially those external borders adjoining the EU – this research programme considered what are some of the wider consequences of Brexit in the areas of regional development, local governance infrastructures and cross-border labour markets.</p>\n<!-- /wp:paragraph -->\n\n<!-- wp:paragraph -->\n<p>Research into collaborative working models and local governance infrastructures post-Brexit and the impact of Northern Ireland as a third Country on regional development policy and cross-border functional economic areas resulted in the publication of Issues Paper in October 2017, an on-line survey being undertaken to explore further the issues highlighted in December 2017/January 2018, and the publication of final Position Papers in November 2018.</p>\n<!-- /wp:paragraph -->\n\n<!-- wp:paragraph -->\n<p>Click to download papers:</p>\n<!-- /wp:paragraph -->\n\n<!-- wp:paragraph -->\n<p><a href=\"http://dev.iclrd.org/iclrd2/wp-content/uploads/2020/09/CollaborativeWorkingModels_IssuePaper_Final_Oct17.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\"Issue Paper 1: Collaborative Working Models: Governance Infrastructure for Collaborating Across External Borders (opens in a new tab)\">Issue Paper 1: Collaborative Working Models: Governance Infrastructure for Collaborating Across External Borders</a></p>\n<!-- /wp:paragraph -->\n\n<!-- wp:paragraph -->\n<p><a href=\"http://dev.iclrd.org/iclrd2/wp-content/uploads/2020/09/CollaborativeWorkingModels_PositionPaper_Final-komprimiert.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\"Position Paper 1: Collaborative Working Models: Governance Infrastructure for Collaborating Across External Borders (opens in a new tab)\">Position Paper 1: Collaborative Working Models: Governance Infrastructure for Collaborating Across External Borders</a></p>\n<!-- /wp:paragraph -->\n\n<!-- wp:paragraph -->\n<p><a href=\"http://dev.iclrd.org/iclrd2/wp-content/uploads/2020/09/RegionalDevelopmentFunctionalSpaces_IssuePaper_FinalOct17.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\"Issues Paper 2: Regional Development: Recognising Functional Territories (opens in a new tab)\">Issues Paper 2: Regional Development: Recognising Functional Territories</a></p>\n<!-- /wp:paragraph -->\n\n<!-- wp:paragraph -->\n<p><a href=\"http://dev.iclrd.org/iclrd2/wp-content/uploads/2020/09/RegionalDevelopmentFunctionalSpaces_PositionPaper-Final.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\"Position Paper 2: Regional Development: Recognising Functional Territories (opens in a new tab)\">Position Paper 2: Regional Development: Recognising Functional Territories</a></p>\n<!-- /wp:paragraph -->\n\n<!-- wp:image {\"id\":5291,\"align\":\"left\"} -->\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"alignleft\"><img src=\"http://dev.iclrd.org/iclrd2/wp-content/uploads/2020/01/iclrd-collabrative-working-models-issues-img-211x300.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-5291\"/></figure></div>\n<!-- /wp:image -->\n\n<!-- wp:image {\"id\":5293,\"align\":\"center\"} -->\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img src=\"http://dev.iclrd.org/iclrd2/wp-content/uploads/2020/01/iclrd-regional-development-position-img-211x300.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-5293\"/></figure></div>\n<!-- /wp:image -->\n\n<!-- wp:paragraph -->\n<p></p>\n<!-- /wp:paragraph -->\n\n<!-- wp:paragraph -->\n<p></p>\n<!-- /wp:paragraph -->\n\n<!-- wp:paragraph -->\n<p>The research on cross-border labour markets and cross-border mobility will be available to download shortly.</p>\n<!-- /wp:paragraph -->\n\n<!-- wp:paragraph -->\n<p>Presentations on the emerging findings of these papers were given during the 2018 Conference of Irish Geographers in Maynooth.

Challenges stem from having separate jurisdictions in the North and South of Ireland; each jurisdiction has separate governance regimes with several different government departments controlling functions such as planning and regulation. Marine Spatial Planning (MSP) is set to play a major part in the European Union’s ‘blue economy’. With the island of Ireland’s prime geographical position, and with innovations in wind, water and wave and even algae technologies, MSP will be a vital process to enable renewable technologies to shape the future energy mix and to allow the island to emerge as a renewable energy exporter. The existence of two separate, variegated and fragmented planning traditions (both terrestrial and marine) spanning the Republic of Ireland and Northern Ireland may create a potential barrier to realising the island of Ireland’s ability to be a world leader in offshore renewable energy.</td>\n</tr>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"vertical-align: top;\" colspan=\"2\"><a href=\"http://dev.iclrd.org/iclrd2/wp-content/uploads/2013/10/Paper-12-SmallIsland-BigMarineChallenge-BlueEconomy-Sept13-1.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img style=\"width: 175px; height: 21px;\" src=\"http://dev.iclrd.org/iclrd2/wp-content/uploads/2011/09/download-button-1.png\" alt=\"download\" width=\"175\" height=\"21\"></a></td>\n</tr>\n</tbody>\n</table>\n&nbsp;','Briefing Paper 12: Small Island, Big Marine Challenges Ahead for the Blue Economy','','inherit','closed','closed','','3695-revision-v1','','','2020-10-20 08:57:56','2020-10-20 08:57:56','',3695,'http://dev.iclrd.org/iclrd2/2020/10/20/3695-revision-v1/',0,'revision','',0),(6558,16,'2020-10-20 08:59:44','2020-10-20 08:59:44','<a href=\"http://dev.iclrd.org/iclrd2/wp-content/uploads/2012/02/Responding-to-the-Environmental-Challenge-ICLRD-Report-Sept11-1.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img class=\"alignleft size-medium wp-image-3185\" title=\"river-basins-cover\" src=\"http://dev.iclrd.org/iclrd2/wp-content/uploads/2012/02/river-basins-cover-1-211x300.jpg\" alt=\"River Basin Management Report\" width=\"211\" height=\"300\"></a>&nbsp;The International Centre for Local and Regional Development (ICLRD) is delighted to announce the publication of its latest study,<em><strong><a href=\"http://dev.iclrd.org/iclrd2/wp-content/uploads/2012/02/Responding-to-the-Environmental-Challenge-ICLRD-Report-Sept11-1.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"> Responding to the Environmental Challenge? Spatial Planning, Cross-Border Cooperation and River Basin Management</a></strong></em>.\n\nPublished in September 2011, this report recognises that environmental assets do not adhere to man-made boundaries and considers the challenges and opportunities in integrating environmental management and development strategies at national, regional and local-policy level. It builds on the recognition that the environment is increasingly lying at the heart of European thinking; with the need to protect and conserve the environment referenced in numerous Directives, not least the Water Framework Directive (WFD). For cross-border communities, this necessitates a commitment to cross-sectoral, cross-departmental and inter-jurisdictional collaboration as many of these assets transcend the Irish border.\nThe cross-border dimension of managing water resources and shared river basins brings up interesting challenges for both jurisdictions on the island of Ireland. Eight river basin districts were jointly established following a joint consultation process in 2003; with four located in the Republic of Ireland, one in Northern Ireland and three being cross-border. And as the resulting plans move into their implementation phase, it is evident that environmental considerations play an increasingly critical and decisive role in spatial planning. As such, the challenges involved in coordinating river basin management and spatial planning policy objectives are not only technical but also political.\nBuilding on the two international case studies – <a href=\"http://dev.iclrd.org/iclrd2/wp-content/uploads/2012/04/Elbe-River-Basin-Final-Report-1.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">the Berlin-Brandenburg and Elbe River Basin in Germany</a> and the <a href=\"http://dev.iclrd.org/iclrd2/wp-content/uploads/2012/03/ConnecticutRiverBasin-WaterQualityLandUsePlanning-1.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Connecticut River Basin in Massachusetts</a> – the report illustrates that good river basin management practices have moved towards engagement and negotiation, rather than relying solely on compliance measures or regulatory enforcement. This creates the possibility for proactive management, with an emphasis on protecting and enhancing the shared asset of the river basin. Critically, they highlight that it is the sub-regional management of the river basin itself that is key to bringing together official and civic, business and environmental leadership in a meaningful way. This is especially the case when spatial planning decisions are made at the ‘local level’.\nThe report puts forward a number of strategic options for the effective implementation of river basin plans on a cross-border basis – including integration between spatial development and water management plans. Furthermore, in the case of the Republic of Ireland where the implementation phase is under review, it proposes a number of scenarios which take due cognisance of the need for an evidence-based approach, ongoing inter-jurisdictional cooperation and jointly agreed monitoring systems, and political and public acceptance for river basin management and associated water quality protection measures – all of which requires adequate resourcing!.\n<strong><a href=\"http://dev.iclrd.org/iclrd2/wp-content/uploads/2012/02/Responding-to-the-Environmental-Challenge-ICLRD-Report-Sept11-1.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Download the report.&nbsp;</a></strong>','Responding to the Environmental Challenge?

In the period since the 1998 Good Friday Agreement (GFA), the island of Ireland has emerged as a coherent functional space with extensive effort gone into the development of shared cross-border spaces for cooperation at community, local authority, regional and inter-jurisdictional levels. The International Centre for Local and Regional Development (ICLRD) among other organisations has played a key role behind the scenes, in fostering spaces for cooperation in spatial planning and local and regional development within the border region. The shared border region, and indeed the idea of the island of Ireland as a functional space may both be understood as soft, non-territorial spaces. They are informal spaces, located outside the regulatory sphere of nation-state territoriality but very much located in shadow of territory and dependent on formal territorial relations, including in this case the GFA.

planning ICLRD has shown that one of the first entry points to developing cooperation among central and local governments is providing information and shared evidence on common issues such as housing, trade, environment, transport and services. The process of collection, joint analysis, reports and forums can help to build an agenda for action around common interests and challenges. In collaboration with the National Institute for Regional and Spatial Analysis at NUI Maynooth, and its All-Island Research Observatory (AIRO) initiative, the ICLRD is supporting evidence-informed decision-making.\n\n<!--[dtcmlist category=\"advocacy-and-demonstration\"] -->\n\n&nbsp;\n<ul>\n 	<li><a href=\"/iclrd-participates-in-national-planning-knowledge-group/\">ICLRD Participates in National Planning Knowledge Group (since 2019)</a></li>\n 	<li><a href=\"/2012/07/25/espon-kitcasp-programme-on-key-indicators-for-territorial-cohesion-and-spatial-planning/\">ESPON KITCASP Programme on Key Indicators for Territorial Cohesion and Spatial Planning (2012-2014)</a></li>\n 	<li><a href=\"/2012/01/24/interactive-mapping-tools-now-available/\">All Island Interactive Mapping Tools (2012)</a></li>\n 	<li><a href=\"/2011/07/26/island-of-ireland-housing-monitoring-tool/\">Island of Ireland–Housing Monitoring Tool&nbsp; (2011)</a></li>\n 	<li><a href=\"/2008/05/01/assessing-accessibility-of-services-and-infrastructure/\">Assessing Accessibility of Services and Infrastructure (2008)</a></li>\n</ul>\n&nbsp;','Advocacy and Demonstration -- Evidenced-based Planning','','inherit','closed','closed','','2036-revision-v1','','','2020-10-21 19:13:03','2020-10-21 19:13:03','',2036,'http://test.iclrd.org/2020/10/21/2036-revision-v1/',0,'revision','',0),(6619,1,'2020-10-21 19:15:40','2020-10-21 19:15:40','<p>Bringing policy makers, academics and practitioners together to identify practical solutions to today’s challenges is a core ICLRD activity.

In adopting principles of place-based working, co-design and co-production, this thematic research stream offers evidence and insights into ways of working collaboratively, and valuing asset-based approaches, to build a rich picture of systems from a local perspective on promoting prosperous, shared and sustainable communities across the island of Ireland and beyond. Substantial change has occurred in public administration, governance models, and public service design and delivery in recent decades, transforming the relationship between public, private and community sectors. In addition to offering a research specialism in the field of spatial planning, the ICLRD continues to offer a unique all island perspective on the evolving mechanisms for modernising the process of planning, providing and improving public services, known as ‘community planning’, which are in the public interest, aim to enhance well-being outcomes and empower communities.&nbsp;&nbsp;</p>\n<!-- /wp:paragraph -->\n\n<!-- wp:paragraph -->\n<p><a href=\"http://iclrd.org/2015/02/25/shaping-the-relationship-between-people-and-place/\">Community Planning and Spatial Planning in the Irish Border Region:  Shaping the relationship between people and place (2014)</a></p>\n<!-- /wp:paragraph -->\n\n<!-- wp:paragraph -->\n<p><a href=\"http://iclrd.org/shared-services/\">Shared Services&nbsp;(multiple&nbsp;documents, 2012-2014)</a></p>\n<!-- /wp:paragraph -->\n\n<!-- wp:paragraph -->\n<p><a href=\"http://iclrd.org/2011/10/14/briefing-paper-no-9-innovation-reflections-on-the-boom-a-time-for-reform/\">Reflections on the Boom: A Time for Reform (2011)</a></p>\n<!-- /wp:paragraph -->\n\n<!-- wp:paragraph -->\n<p><a href=\"http://iclrd.org/2011/09/07/collaborative-communities-co-operation-among-rural-municipalities-insights-from-spain/\">Collaborative Communities: Co-operation among Rural Municipalities – Insights from Spain (2011)</a></p>\n<!-- /wp:paragraph -->\n\n<!-- wp:paragraph -->\n<p><a href=\"http://iclrd.org/2011/12/09/springfarm/\">Living Together 1:   Springfarm (2011)</a></p>\n<!-- /wp:paragraph -->\n\n<!-- wp:paragraph -->\n<p><a href=\"http://iclrd.org/2011/12/09/gobnascale/\">Living Together 2:   Gobnascale (2011)</a></p>\n<!-- /wp:paragraph -->\n\n<!-- wp:paragraph -->\n<p><a href=\"http://iclrd.org/2011/12/09/carrancrescent/\">Living Together 3:   Carran Crescent (2011)</a></p>\n<!-- /wp:paragraph -->\n\n<!-- wp:paragraph -->\n<p><a href=\"http://iclrd.org/2011/12/13/living-together-4-cranmore-housing-estate/\">Living Together 4:   Cranmore Housing Estate (2011)</a></p>\n<!-- /wp:paragraph -->\n\n<!-- wp:paragraph -->\n<p><a href=\"http://iclrd.org/2011/12/13/living-together-5-mahon/\">Living Together 5:   Mahon (2011)</a></p>\n<!-- /wp:paragraph -->\n\n<!-- wp:paragraph -->\n<p><a href=\"http://iclrd.org/2011/12/13/living-together-6-adamstown/\">Living Together 6:   Adamstown (2011)</a></p>\n<!-- /wp:paragraph -->\n\n<!-- wp:paragraph -->\n<p>ICLRD Leads: <a href=\"http://iclrd.org/research-forum/dr-gavan-rafferty/\">Gavan Rafferty</a>, <a href=\"http://iclrd.org/research-forum/dr-brendan-okeeffe/\">Brendan O\' Caoimh</a>, <a href=\"http://iclrd.org/research-forum/dr-andrew-mcclelland/\">Andrew McClelland</a>, <a href=\"http://iclrd.org/research-forum/nick-finio/\">Nick Finio</a></p>\n<!-- /wp:paragraph -->','Sustainable Communities / Community Planning','','inherit','closed','closed','','6065-revision-v1','','','2020-10-25 13:32:42','2020-10-25 13:32:42','',6065,'http://iclrd.org/2020/10/25/6065-revision-v1/',0,'revision','',0),(6646,1,'2020-10-25 13:34:47','2020-10-25 13:34:47','<!-- wp:paragraph -->\n<p></p>\n<!-- /wp:paragraph -->\n\n<!-- wp:list -->\n<ul><li><a href=\"http://iclrd.org/2019/11/18/launch-of-conference-proceedings-report-rural-society-in-transition-planning-for-21st-century-rural-potential-and-challenge/\">Rural Society in Transition (2018 Conference Report)</a></li><li><a href=\"http://iclrd.org/revitalising-border-towns-villages/\">Revitalising Border Towns &amp;

some of which are generic and some of which are place-specific… More recent rural development and diversification policies have placed an emphasis on exploiting local asset-bases, the harnessing of the endogenous potential… As an approach, this is the right way to go”.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;This document provides a synopsis of each of the papers delivered during the course of the day, and draws out key opportunities and challenges posed by each of the contributors as they considered the future of rural places and communities across the island of Ireland for the remainder of the 21<sup>st</sup>&nbsp;Century.\n\n&nbsp;\n\nDownload document&nbsp;<a href=\"http://iclrd.org/wp-content/uploads/2020/10/Proceedings-Doc-2018-Conference-Rural-Society-in-Transition-Sept19.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">here</a><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">.</span>','Launch of Conference Proceedings Report: Rural Society in Transition: Planning for 21st Century Rural Potential and Challenge','','inherit','closed','closed','','5050-revision-v1','','','2020-10-25 14:26:54','2020-10-25 14:26:54','',5050,'http://iclrd.org/2020/10/25/5050-revision-v1/',0,'revision','',0),(6669,1,'2020-10-25 14:54:20','2020-10-25 14:54:20','<table style=\"text-align: left;

The conference, <em>Shared Services, Shared Opportunities: New Models of Public Sector Collaboration and Partnership</em>, focused upon a critical component of the public sector reform agendas on the island of Ireland, and is particularly topical in light of recent and imminent changes in the structure of local government in both jurisdictions. The conference is the culmination of a two-year programme of work involving the ICLRD, CCBS and other partner organisations under the INICCO II/CroSPlaN II Programme, sponsored by the Special EU Programmes Body under INTERREG IVA.

The conference, <em>Shared Services, Shared Opportunities: New Models of Public Sector Collaboration and Partnership</em>, focused upon a critical component of the public sector reform agendas on the island of Ireland, and is particularly topical in light of recent and imminent changes in the structure of local government in both jurisdictions. The conference is the culmination of a two-year programme of work involving the ICLRD, CCBS and other partner organisations under the INICCO II/CroSPlaN II Programme, sponsored by the Special EU Programmes Body under INTERREG IVA.
