“…Infrastructure improvements, such as upgrading roads, sidewalks, and public spaces, can make the town more attractive to residents and visitors. This can also involve investing in green infrastructure, such as green areas and trails, which can enhance the quality of life in the town [4]. Small towns thrive when residents are actively engaged in community life.…”

The revitalisation of small towns is an attempt to find multi-directional solutions to numerous social, economic, and spatial problems. Properly planned and coordinated actions aimed at the renewal and countering of social exclusion through corrective interventions. Although there is a wealth of research on the significance of revitalisation projects in improving the quality of life for residents in large cities, there is a visible gap regarding the development of models based on the principles of “slow” and “liveability” in small towns. This article presents the results of observations regarding the actual conditions for the development of Cittaslow cities and the possibilities for development based on the assumptions outlined in the strategic documents of these cities, as well as the benefits resulting from projects implemented within the Supralocal Revitalisation Program (SLRP). The study initially identifies the main strategic assumptions and then analyses their connections with the revitalisation effects carried out within the SLRP. The analysis encompassed all projects aimed at solving social problems in fourteen cities in the Warmian–Masurian Voivodeship (Poland). The research included an evaluation of the assumptions regarding the directions of development arising from the provisions in the strategic documents (first stage) and a qualitative assessment based on interviews with local experts (second stage). The results indicate that the experts’ opinions differ partly from the project effects assumed in the documents. This applies primarily to the possibility of basing on the project results when formulating development models of the analysed Cittaslow towns. The results of these studies can serve as a basis for verifying the goals set in the SLRP, and based on them, for future projects and recommendations concerning the revitalisation of other Cittaslow cities in the region, as well as small towns in Europe and around the world.

In the context of people-centered and sustainable urban policies, identifying renewal potential based on vitality enhancement is crucial for urban regeneration efforts. This article collected population density data, house price data, and built environment data to examine the spatial pattern characteristics of Harbin’s core area using spatial autocorrelation analysis. Building on these findings, a geographically weighted regression (GWR) model was constructed to further analyze the influencing mechanisms of the relevant factors. The analysis revealed significant spatial development imbalances within Harbin’s core area, characterized by differentiated and uneven development of social and economic vitality between the old city and newly constructed areas. Notably, in certain regions, the construction intensity does not align with the levels of social and economic vitality, indicating potential opportunities for urban renewal. Furthermore, the examination of key influencing factors highlighted that the accessibility of commercial facilities and development intensity had the most substantial positive impact on social vitality. In contrast, the age of construction and the distribution of educational facilities demonstrated a strong positive correlation with economic vitality. By clearly delineating specific areas with urban renewal potential, this study provided a detailed characterization of the urban development pattern in Harbin. Additionally, by depicting the local variations in influencing factors, it established analytical foundations and objective references for urban planning in targeted locations. Ultimately, this research contributes new insights and frameworks for urban renewal analyses applicable to other regions.

Emerging Perspectives on Financial Well-Being

Pensions are an essential component of society, and owing to rising population aging, life expectancy, healthy living years, and a lower fertility rate, financial sustainability will be a worldwide issue in the future. The purpose of this chapter is to examine the influence of social and economic variables on pensions and financial sustainability, as well as to suggest some methods to enhance the well-being of the elderly Romanian population using technological modeling. The R square indicates that 99.47% of the development of variable pension (Y) is described by the evolution of social variables (X1-X7) and 99.98% is explained by the evolution of economic factors (X8-X14) using mathematical modeling. The correlations between variables and covariance indicate an effect on the pension fund's stability and financial sustainability. The professionals might use technological modeling to develop future sustainable solutions for the pension system and to enhance the well-being of the elderly Romanian pension population.
