Abstract

How come that some EU cities are often presented as examples and monopolize the best positions in various rankings? They act not according to models, but according to a method which is mostly similar to Edgar Morin’s concept of auto-eco-organization. Theirs actions are based on values: they are agile creative, supportive, sustainable. So how do they implement those guidelines ?
