Deliverable 2.3 Inventory of post-crisis policies against inequality Innovative local policies against urban inequality

This report aims to provide an overview of Social Innovations in the post-crisis era at the 16 locations where the UPLIFT project has been carrying out research activities. Whilst the identification and analysis of (youth related) Social Innovations is not at the centre of the UPLIFT project, this work provides an important addition to the Reflexive Policy Agenda, a key objective of the project. The aim is the introduction of a new, sustainable, participatory policy co-creation process, where young people - who are in the focus of the UPLIFT project - are actively contributing to policies that directly influence their life chances. The contribution of this report is a deeper look into the dynamics of existing Social Innovations; it is not meant to provide a complete or representative overview of the innovation processes in the 16 locations - as only one innovative case was selected in each location - but instead focuses on the mechanisms of particular innovations and the way they interact with the particular context in which they take place.
