City storytelling

Cities have the right to exercise the powers derived (expected?) from their political mandate, their legal existence but, above all, their accountability to citizens. These dimensions, represented by the urban project, could justify, at the international level, a transition from actions of influence and soft power towards active subsidiarity as defined by Calamé (2016). In the case of active subsidiarity, the local authority also exercises its competence at international level without consulting the regional or the national levels and not being limited by devolution schemes. Active subsidiarity thus provokes a natural decentralization, in alignment with the objectives of the urban project and beyond constitutional considerations.
