Rural-Urban HUB

The Rural Urban Hub is a local initiative that aims to experiment with a new model of addressing development gaps, defining a space for innovation and using urban infrastructure, the benefits and potential of the rural area, connecting their human capital. 

Gaps between the urban and rural environment

A local initiative

Rural Urban Hub is a local initiative to coordinate a "bottom-up" process to jointly design a long-term sustainable strategy that reduces the differences in development and access to resources between Cluj and neighboring rural areas, addressing the future in the key European Agenda for Innovation NO.

One of the crucial directions is to test economic models based on innovation and the creation of a synergy between urban and rural space, to ensure the digital inclusion of villages
near Cluj, by creating research and development centers in the countryside.

Our approach

The goal is to jointly design a long-term sustainable strategy that reduces the differences in development and access to resources between Cluj and the neighboring rural areas.

The co-design process to address the gaps in sustainable development between the urban and rural environment is taking place starting in 2020, together with partners such as the research team of FSPAC, ADI-ZMC, Prysmian Grup, UTCN, Vertical Roots, the communities of the two communes and non-governmental.
