Sažetak
Our objective here is to analyze and discuss the ways in which the EGCA impacts urban GI delivery and governance through green agenda setting and green discourse formation. Specifically, we consider what the role of GI delivery is within EGCA, which aspects are prioritized, and how discourses of winning cities establish best practices in GI delivery management. If certain aspects of environmental policy making are prioritized over others in the EGCA, there is the risk (as highlighted by Mills, 2013) that the role of biophysical green resources becomes ambiguous or under-prioritized. Closer evaluation of the EGCA can contribute to a broader understanding of what “green” really means in green city branding, and how network governance tools such as the EGCA contribute to EU environmental governance. Such scrutiny can facilitate multilevel policy learning around GI governance, by developing a common understanding of the meaningful contributions that support better cities at the European level.
