Welcome to a talk where we experiment with the thought of having liveable cities rule the world. We dig into the purpose and added values of partnering transnationally for urban transformation, and its connections to local liveability and prosperity. After the talk, JPI Urban Europe will give information about the upcoming transnational call, ENUAC. The recorded version of this webinar is available on our Youtube channel.
Can global political- and institutional blockages be “hijacked” with local liveability action? In this webinar, we discuss how liveable and interconnected cities are tools for achieving global agendas. This is a group discussion of both so called success stories, but also key dilemmas and transition pathways ahead. Participate in the chat, vote in polls, and drop questions in the Q&A.
- What is the role of cities in shifting global development towards more attractive trajectories?
- In which ways can transnational cooperation help break out of “business as usual”-ways of doing research and innovation?
- How can local and national governments around the world work successfully with the outcomes of research- and innovation?
