SUMMARY:Webinar: Urban Lunch Talk #11- Innovative governance after the 10th World Urban Forum: How can local authorities benefit from rethinking governance?
DESCRIPTION:EDIT: Click here to listen to the recording of this webinar. \nPoint of departure..\nIn the current digital transition\, urban governance may risk implementing suboptimal or segregating technical solutions unless city administrations work with capacity building in public innovation governance and integrated urban planning to expand the current policy scope in many urban digitalisation efforts to include issues such as poverty\, gender\, education\, and marginalised neighbourhoods. Urban governance has an increasingly networked character (in contrast to the ‘government’ ideal in the 20th Century). In general urban governance processes are ‘flattening out’ an assuming a less vertically hierarchical structure\, this is occurring at different paces with varying dynamics depending on the different regions. Inevitably\, it leads to the decentralisation of power. (Source: SRIA 2.0) \n​The quality of urban places in cities is typically not the product of a single intervention but results from the accumulation over time of a complex combination of factors\, behaviours\, and decisions from multiple stakeholders. This webinar is a collaboration with URBAN MAESTRO. The project looks at the ways European cities are being designed and financed\, focusing on innovative ways of generating and implementing urban spatial quality. \nDiscussion questions \n\n\n\n\nMust governance become more “innovative” if we are to succeed with global and European sustainability targets?\nWhat does it mean in practice to build capacity for governance to work with dilemmas in the built environment?\n\nHow can innovative governance play a role in improving the built environment? \nHow can you work with governance issues across different cultures\, in ways that contribute to necessary urban transitions?\n \nMeet…\n\n\n\n\n\nCecilia Bertozzi: Urban governance expert\, Urban Maestro project at the United Nations Human Settlements Programme (UN-Habitat)\nLiliane Mupende Uwanziga: Independent Consultant-Sustainable Urbanization. Former Director of Urban Planning and Construction\, One Stop Centre- City of Kigali\, Rwanda\nKarina Landman\, Associate Professor\, Department of Town & Regional Planning\, University of Pretoria\, South Africa\nBahanur Nasya\, Eutropian: Architect\, film producer and project manager of PlaceCity. The goal is to gather proven placemaking tools\, test them in real life case studies and make them readily available to every city in Europe.  PlaceCity partners with Placemaking Europe.\nParticipants from anywhere in the world who will join the conversation through the chat room\, polls and Q&A sessions. Previous Urban Lunch Talks have attracted visitors from more than twentyfive different countries\, representing urban administration and public authorities\, research communities\, business representatives and civil society.\n \nMaterial:\n>Watch the recording \n>Presentation slides  \n \n\nFootnote:\nJust like in our Agora\, the Urban Lunch Talks are a meeting space and an invitation to the JPI Urban Europe community. The final content for the talks depends on what you\, as a participant\, bring to the (lunch) table: what urban issue do you want to talk about and why? You can listen to the invited guests\, exchange in the chat\, drop discussion questions in the Q&A function and vote in polls. \nThis event is co-organised with the UN Habitat Urban Maestro project where JPI Urban Europe is one of the advisors. Some of the guests in this talk participated in the tenth World Urban Forum in Abu Dhabi 8-13 February 2020 and will share their learnings and take-aways with regards to innnovative governance and sustainable urban places.

SUMMARY:*CANCELLED* AGORA workshop about Positive Energy Districts at the Urban Future Global Conference in Lisbon
DESCRIPTION:Event Cancelled! \nDue to travel restrictions connected to the CoV-19 outbreak\, we are sadly forced to cancel the PED AGORA Workshop on 03 April in Lisbon. Also\, UFGC 20 has been cancelled. We are currently working on an alternative for the event\, either moving it to fall 2020 or offering an online formate after Easter. We will keep you updated! \n*** \nThe Positive Energy Districts (PED) Programme will be at the Urban Future Global Conference\, 1 – 3 April in Lisbon and organize an AGORA workshop as a side event to the conference on 3 April. Urban stakeholders are welcome to discuss strategies towards the European-wide implementation of PEDs\, bring in their own perspectives and reflect on current activities. \nThere is a wide range of approaches\, strategies and solutions regarding the achievement of climate targets and the energy transition in the urban context. To create a common vision and to position the concept of PEDs\, the PED Programme has developed a framework definition that needs specification and operationalisation in local contexts. \nThe AGORA workshop on PEDs aims at developing\, in an interactive setting\, a joint understanding of PEDs through various stakeholder groups by: \n\nSharing experiences on different approaches to the PED concept\nElaborating the operationalization of the PED Framework according to regional/local perspectives\nIdentifying and elaborating roles and perspectives of different stakeholder groups regarding the PED concept\n\n\nMore info:\nWorkshop Agenda\nSET-plan 10 key actions\nAbout the PED program\n\nTime:\n\nApril 3\, 2020\, 9:00 – 15:00\, site visit: 15:30 – 17:30 \nVenue: \nLisbon Green Capital 2020 Headquarters\nPraça do Municipio\, 1100-038 Lisboa\nhttps://lisboagreencapital2020.com/ \n\nContact: \nChristoph Gollner\, christoph.gollner@ffg.at \nRegistered participants will receive more information\, a detailed agenda of the workshop as well as practical information in due course. \n

SUMMARY:Urban Lunch Talk 12: Taking action on the urban land-use and infrastructure dilemma
DESCRIPTION:What role does urban design play in the food-water-energy nexus? How will the liveable and healthy city be achieved in the new decade- and  post the Covid-19 pandemic? Even though there are no “one size fits all”-answers to urban dilemmas around land-use\, health and infrastructures\, this webinar will explore some lessons learned. Listen to the recording on our YouTube channel! \n\n\n\n\n\n\nYou are currently viewing a placeholder content from YouTube. To access the actual content\, click the button below.

Cities and urban areas in general attract people and create positive effects out of agglomeration\, density\, and diverse and intersecting infrastructures and facilities. There are risks involved and increasingly wicked problems around congestion and accessibility\, loss of identity or demand/waste of natural resources. Urban areas may succumb to conflict and clashes between powers\, mismanagement of transportation flows and existing tensions. Increased spatial and social inequalities between different types of urban areas may be caused by increasing economic polarisation\, segregation and gentrification dynamics\, suburban sprawl\, and shrinking cities (SRIA 2.0\, p. 24). \nThe interactions between food\, water and energy are of great interest to policy\, science and the society at large\, today and even more so in the upcoming decades. Challenges connected with population increase and food shortages\, scarce water and insufficient energy resources needs solutions. Health and welfare can be supported through well-conceived and managed urban built environments and communities. To safeguard this\, these kinds of infrastructures\, many times urban commons\, require robust co-design with multi-stakeholder approaches and long-term provision of technical expertise. A growth of urban frugal innovation might support such developments (SRIA 2.0\, p. 22). \nDiscussion Questions\n– What role does urban design play in the food-water-energy nexus?\n– How will the liveable and healthy city be achieved in the new decade- and post Covid-19?\n– Will the health benefits of open spaces\, outdoor exercise and access to fresh air become more valued by local governments after the Covid-19 pandemic? \nProgram (CEST/Stockholm time)\n12.30 Warm-up project presentation by the M-NEX project (see below)\, chat opens\n13.00 The Urban Lunch Talk starts\n14.00 The Urban Lunch Talk ends\n14.15 Chat closes\n \nMeet…\nAnna Grichting: Anna is the Lead Resesarch Consultant at Qatar University with the M-NEX project\, active in Doha\, Belfast\, Detroit\, Sydney\, Tokyo and Amsterdam. M-NEX focuses on urban design practice and sees urban agriculture as a key facilitator of the food-water-energy-nexus\, as it needs water and energy to become productive. Working directly with living labs in some of the most vulnerable communities in the partner cities\, the team co-designs new food futures with stakeholders that can help make stakeholder less vulnerable to forces disturbing the nexus. \nCristina Clotet Ollé: Cristina is an Architect at the Institut Català del Sòl (INCASÒL)\, member of the Urban Agenda Partnership on Sustainable Use of Land and Nature-Based Solutions. Cristina’s work involves around managing under-used land\, sustainable & circular reuse of spaces and buildings\, and adaptive re-use of the built heritage for a greener Europe. You can read the brochure of the Sustainable Use of Land and nature-based solution partnership here. You find the Handbook on Sustainable and Circular re-use of spaces and buildings\, developed by SUL&NBS and Circular Economy partnerships\, here. \nMarc Sansom: Marc is the Managing Director at SALUS Global Knowledge Exchange and works with the Healthy City Design initative which provides an interdisciplinary forum for policy advisors\, researchers and practitioners around the globe. This years topic is “Designing resilient communities: Recovery\, renewal and renaissance”- see the Call for Papers here. Marc has previously been the chief operations officer for the International Academy for Design & Health and founding editor of World Health Design magazine. \nSimon Bell: Simon works with Landscape Architecture at the Estonian University of Life Sciences and will reflect on results of the BlueHealth initative in relation to planning and designing urban blue spaces for human health and well-being. BlueHealth is a pan-European research initiative investigating the links between environment\, climate and health and focuses on water-based environments in towns and cities. It is funded by the European Union’s Horizon 2020 programme\, read more here. \nAli Hainoun: Ali works as senior scientist and energy systems analyst at the Austrian Institute of Technology. He is involved in numerous research activities and international projects on sustainable development\, mitigation and decarbonisation of urban energy systems. Ali is the coordinator of SUNEX project which operates in four case study cities (Berlin\, Bristol\, Doha\, Vienna)\, each with different socio-economic and climate characteristics and consumption patterns. The project aims to provide a policy guideline to support urban governance in designing sustainable FWE-strategies. \nSUNEX and M-NEX are part of the Sustainable Urbanisation Global Initiative (SUGI)/Food-Water-Energy Nexus call: jointly established by the Belmont Forum and JPI Urban Europe to bring together fragmented research and expertise across the globe for innovative solutions to the Food-Water-Energy Nexus challenge. \nHost: Caroline Wrangsten\, Assistant Project Manager\, JPI Urban Europe\nChat host: Johannes Riegler\, Stakeholder Involvement Officer\, JPI Urban Europe

SUMMARY:Urban Lunch Talk #13: Taking action on the resilience-robustness dilemma
DESCRIPTION:Is it time to move “beyond the smart city”- and what does that mean in practice? Does the “smart and resilient city” stand tall in various types of societal crisis? Listen to this talk and explore urban robustness together with guests from around Europe and across sectors!\n  \nPoint of departure:\n‘Urban areas and policy are challenged not just with resilience in a technical sense\, but with the robustness of their ethical value base around democracy and human rights by increasing turbulence and shifting grounds in terms of climate as well as societal dynamics. Whereas resilience de- notes the capacity to recover\, robustness focus on the sturdy and healthy ‘baseline’ of urban settings as a pre-condition for sustainability as well as for sound resilience in crisis-management.’ (SRIA 2.0\, p 22) \nFrom an urban planning perspective\, access to data and information is generally insufficient to plan cities effectively. Urban science can inform and support existing planning processes and that usually means partnerships between different stakeholders. Is smart replacing sustainability as the desired end goal or does smart facilitate the realisation of more sustainable cities? The idea of ”Moving beyond the smart cities” has been aired and interpreted in more contexts lately. For example in the spreading of “Baukultur”: the focus on human needs\, cultures and identities to establish a more livable environment for everyone. We also saw it in the Finish presidency to the EU: \n‘(…) the Finnish Presidency aims to go ‘beyond the smart city’\, re-focusing the perspective from a technology-dominated approach to a human-centric and more holistic approach to a digital city. (…)’  (See p. 4) \nAt the same time\, policy briefs and texts tend to refer to levels of action in terms of “city level”\, “national level” and “EU-level”. But what is the added value of also addressing the “neighbourhood-level” as point of action? This perspective has been aired by JPI Urban Europe before and also by the Leipzig Charter 2.0 that is under development. On this topic\, there are also voices pointing out matters of both participation and representation: “My fear is that smart cities end up benefiting the elite white men (…)” (Catherine D’Ignazio\, Massachusetts Institute of Technology). The ‘New Urban Science’ agenda is closely aligned with local development activities\, smart cities and digitalisation\, Agenda 2030 and integrated urban development. Is smart replacing sustainability as the desired end goal or does smart facilitate the realisation of more sustainable cities? \nMeet the guests:\n\nVeerle Labeeuw works for Circular Flanders with learning networks and as a partner in the Urban Agenda on Circular Economy. Together they created “www.circulargovernance.city” to guide cities into a governance without silos.\nVlad Mykhnenko works with the 3S RECIPE (Smart shrinkage solutions – Fostering resilient cities in inner peripheries of Europe) – a JPI Urban Europe supported project via the ERA-NET Smart Urban Futures call.\nKjell Borking works with the InSight & EnLIGHT project\, supported by the JPI Urban Europe Making Cities Work call. The project creates a digitalized and user-friendly workflow by integrating and adapting survey and decision analysis methods\n\nProgram (CEST)\n12.30: Project result presentation by Nasar Meer: PrincipaI Investigator for GLIMER and then Karin Snel from FLOODLABEL.\n13.00 The Urban Lunch Talk starts\n14.00 The Urban Lunch Talk ends\n14.15 Chat closes \nHost: Jonas Bylund\, Research- and Innovation Officer in JPI Urban Europe \nChat host: Caroline Wrangsten\, Assistant Project Manager in JPI Urban Europe \n> Listen to the recording\n> Read “Corona effects on urbanism – report from a policy paper shop-floor thread around urban public spaces”

DESCRIPTION:Welcome to an interactive webinar where we present the state of play of the Driving Urban Transitions Programme and the outcomes of the virtual AGORA where stakeholders process the outcomes of the public consultation in the program. \n>> Read the Final Draft Proposal of the Driving Urban Transitions Partnership here\n>> Download the Webinar Slides\n>> Watch the Webinar Recording\n  \nAll interested stakeholders are invited to join this webinar for information and reflection on the next programme of JPI Urban Europe. The webinar offers the opportunity to learn more about the results of recent stakeholder consultations and co-creation workshops\, and have a say on the draft implementation concept. \n \nBackground\n10 years after the inauguration of JPI Urban Europe\, we can look back at seven joint calls (three in cooperation with the European Commission) and more to come\, over 85 funded projects bringing together 450 project partners throughout Europe and the world\, an active AGORA community\, among other achievements. After 10 years\, it is the time for JPI Urban Europe to step up the game and increase efforts and activities to Drive Urban Transitions towards a Sustainable and Livable Future. We would like to invite you to join us into this next phase of the urban transitions journey. \nIt is time to step up the game to make these transformations a reality\, to benefit from all this knowledge and evidence and bring research and innovation into action. For that reason\, JPI Urban Europe is working together with the European Commission on a longer term programme called „Driving Urban Transitions towards a Sustainable and Livable Urban Future“. This programme aligns European and Member State’s efforts to build a critical mass for urban transitions.

SUMMARY:Urban Lunch Talk #14: Taking action on the public space dilemma
DESCRIPTION:Liveability\, placemaking and AI… should cities go “back to basics”? Practitioners and others working with public space experience dilemmas in decision making processes- which are they and how can you approach them? In this this travel-free event you meet guests from around Europe and across sectors. The event includes the pre-launch of an upcoming policy paper booklet by the JPI Urban Europe AGORA. Hear some of the writers in this event!\nListen to the recording here: \n\n\n\n\n\n\nYou are currently viewing a placeholder content from YouTube.

A specific concern is how to cater for safety and security concerns without a widening of exclusive spaces. (…) Policies for enhancing city status and attractiveness does not always support urban liveability.” \nDilemmas around public space involves issues of inclusion and security\, mobility and morphology\, openess and integrity\, urban green and density\, physical environments and digitalised/augmeneted spaces\, digitalised public protection and control\, autonomous vehicles\, qualities of design\, green accessibility\, urban demographics\, and patters of privatisation. How can these dilemmas be approached in theory and practice? Is it about new types of innovation or about “going back to basics” in these types of decision making processes? \n–  How can city makers choose between equally desirable (or undesirable) options? \n–  Which policies can both enhance city attractiveness– and support urban liveability? \n  \nMeet the guests:\n\nDaniela Patti is an architect and urban planner with experience from both research and municipal organisations. She is the co-founder of Eutropian\, an organisation providing support with advocacy\, research and policy to support inclusive urban processes. They run various projects related to public space dilemmas\, such as “Open Heritage”\, “New Life to Markets”\, “Generative Commons” and Urbact Com.Unity.Lab: Network of European city administrations. Eutropian recently started a series of webinar with Cooperative City\, “in Quarantine” on how cities in Europe are reacting to the COVID-19 crisis\, also in partnership with the European program URBACT.\nRuth Yeoman is a Fellow at Kellogg College\, University of Oxford\, and an Associate Professor\, Business and Law\, Northumbria University. Ruth initiated The Meaningful City project – a model and a resource for policy innovation and novel organisational practices involving urban dwellers in creating positive meaning in their lives and work. You find a case study on “meaningful cities” here. Ruth has also worked with the JPI Urban Europe booklet of policy papers on public spaces that will be pre-launched at this event.\nAksel Ersoy is an Assistant Professor in Urban Development Management at Delft University of Technology\, Faculty of Architecture\, Department of Management in the Built Environment. He is interested in understanding the complex relationship between social and economic transformations taking place in developing economies\, metropolitan cities and the built environment. His research experience has benefitted from a combination of theories and approaches in the discipline of planning\, geography and beyond. Currently\, he works on the governance of ‘the smart city’\, urban resilience\, urban infrastructure and the circular economy.\nMatthijs Hisschemöller\, Senior Researcher & Lecturer at DRIFT for transition and project coordinator for SMART-U-GREEN – Governing conflicting perspectives on transformations in the urban rural continuum. Some transformations are desirable\, such as greener urban landscapes. Some are inevitable\, such as changing consumer habits affecting downtown shopping areas. Urban landscape transformations come with conflicts involving many actors. Bottom-up initiatives introduce new forms of urban landscape management.\n\nHost: Johannes Riegler\, Stakeholder Involvement Officer in JPI Urban Europe\nChat host: Caroline Wrangsten\, Assistant Project Manager\, JPI Urban Europe \nProgram (CEST):\n12.30 Intro + Pre-launch of the AGORA policy paper booklet\n12.40 “Warm-up” for the Urban Lunch Talk:\n– Presentation by Sandra Guinand\, Department of Geography and Regional Research at the University of Vienna.\n– Presentation by Zala Velkavrh from the organisation prostoRož in Ljubljana\, Slovenia.\n12.55 Questions or comments\n13.00 The Urban Lunch Talk starts with invited guests (see above).

SUMMARY:SoHoLab Webinar: In situ Applying ‘situated’ approaches
DESCRIPTION:SoHoLab\, a JPI Urban Europe funded project within the ERA-NET Cofund Smart Urban Futures\, is in its final stage and will be hosting three webinars this fall\, 13\, 20\, 27 October 2020\, to highlight progresses and results. \nThe first episode focus on the complexity and uncertainty of the contemporary city and urbanareas such as large-scale social estates require new readings\, interpretations and analytical lenses. Regeneration cannot be thought remotely but should be rooted in place. This entails diving into everyday life and social practices\, as an inherent component of the urban planning process. This practice of ‘situating’ in space and place can be introduced before the planning process\, undertaken simultaneously or developed throughout the development process\, preferably constantly contaminating the practice. But how such immersion takes place? Which methods can be applied to systematically observe and connect people\, spaces\, and the planning processes that impact on it? What kind of information do such methods bring to the planning table? Is it possible to open up rather rigid and formatted planning processes for local knowledge? \nIn this webinar we focus on how to accumulate local knowledge and nurture ongoing regeneration processes of large-scale social estates.\nWe are especially interested in practices at the crossroads of art\, ethnography\, architecture and urban planning. \nAgenda\nIntroduction (5’)\nPilot project SoHoLab: Jeanne Mosseray (10’)\nMirror project: Sophie Ricard\, Construire (10’)\nKeynote lecture: Ferdinando Fava\, DiSSGeA (25’)\nDebate (30’)\nSummary (5’) \nVisit http://www.soholab.org/news/soholab-webinars for more information and to register \nLearn more about SoHoLab \n\nThe SoHoLab project was a 3-year research addressing resident involvement\, local knowledge and stakeholder collaboration in the context of the regeneration of large-scale social estates. The project identified Urban Living Labs as potentially innovative approaches to launch open and collaborative processes in the policy context of urban regeneration. Considering multiple failures of so-called ‘participatory approaches’\, the SoHolab tried to find out which tools and methods could be applied in order to more effectively open up the policy design and implementation phases for local voices\, topics and concerns. By evaluating and developing Living Lab approaches in different contexts\, the three research units involved focused on defining research and practice characteristics supporting more participatory regeneration processes. In this webinar series\, we want to disseminate the knowledge acquired during three years of research\, entering in\ndialogue with similar practices\, while addressing open questions and venues for further research. \n

SUMMARY:SoHoLab Webinar: Enabling spaces Promoting local and institutional empowerment
DESCRIPTION:SoHoLab\, a JPI Urban Europe funded project within the ERA-NET Cofund Smart Urban Futures\, is in its final stage and will be hosting three webinars this fall\, 13\, 20\, 27 October 2020\, to highlight progresses and results. \nSecond episode: Urban Living Labs are seen as promising approaches to transform and enlarge urban governance in the context of urban regeneration. Acting as “cross-boundary arenas” (Concilio\, 2016)\, they are able to connect stakeholders and relevant actors at different levels. On the one hand\, local inhabitants and organizations can play a crucial role in urban governance. Even though territories such as large-scale social estates are often characterized by high levels of socio-economic fragility\, at the same time they represent “local tanks” of competences\nand social resources that often tend to remain invisible. On the other hand\, institutions have a crucial role in the “public city” and their participation is essential to allow transformation and change. Yet\, they have progressively lost their connection with territories and their inhabitants: they need to regain knowledge and understanding of these places and of the possible tools to intervene. Therefore\, local and institutional empowerment could be considered as key ingredients for a radically new planning approach for the regeneration of large-scale social estates.

SUMMARY:Conference: ‘Towards sustainable mobility – one neighbourhood at a time’ by the LOOPER project (ENSUF call)
DESCRIPTION:How can co-creation at the neighbourhood level help reshape urban development across Europe? Find out at the conference ‘Towards sustainable mobility – one neighbourhood at a time’! The Neighbourhood Projects are delighted to invite you to our final and joint event taking place October 20 from 14.00 – 17.00 CET. \n \nThe Joint Neighbourhood Conference showcases the processes and results of four European projects working towards better mobility solutions with people in their neighbourhoods. The conference is part of POLIS’ Mobilising Mobility Webinar Series. \nThese four projects (Cities-4-People\, Looper\, Metamorphosis and Sunrise) brought back the city to its citizens. In 21 locations across Europe and beyond\, local residents\, stakeholders and public authorities re-assessed and re-imagined their immediate surroundings with the guidance and support of the project teams. Together\, they developed ideas for concrete measures\, prioritised them and implemented them for the benefit of local air quality\, accessibility\, safety\, social cohesion\, mobile independence – in short: quality of life. \nIn some of the projects\, local “labs” created a third space\, where public authorities and citizens could learn about each other’s requirements\, constraints and ideas in a collaborative way towards a transformation of on-the-ground realities. These labs are also an important way to extend the life of the project beyond its funding period\, as these platforms can continue to be used for future initiatives. \nDuring the event\, you will have the opportunity to participate in breakout sessions where we will discuss and elaborate on some of the big messages steaming from the four neighbourhood projects. You will have the chance to ask questions and learn about the project’s stories and processes. Most importantly\, you will take part in how the future discussions about how co-creation at the neighbourhood level can help reshape urban development across Europe. \n> Read more about the conference

SUMMARY:SoHoLab Webinars: Beyond commonplaces Spatial transformations based on changing lifestyles and new imaginaries
DESCRIPTION:SoHoLab\, a JPI Urban Europe funded project within the ERA-NET Cofund Smart Urban Futures\, is in its final stage and will be hosting three webinars this fall\, 13\, 20\, 27 October 2020\, to highlight progresses and results. \nThird episode: In the period before and after World War 2\, large-scale housing developments with towers and slabs in a green environment were an important spatial paradigm in social housing construction. This came to an abrupt end after the crisis in the early 1970s. The crisis and changing models of society paved the way for new spatial paradigms\, in the form of smaller-scale or mixed housing developments. Due to their limited maintenance and technical and architectural quality\, today\, many large-scale social estates are facing renovation. Dismissing these renovations as beaten tracks would do injustice to careful architectural and urban design efforts for creating typological variety and morphological innovation\, emphasizing scenic qualities\, or improving energy performance and water storage capacity. Nevertheless\, large-scale social estates remain subject to persistent social-spatial assumptions. Statements on public spaces that are difficult to ‘defend’ (Newman\, 1972)\, or impossible to appropriate\, a social mix that is ‘endangered’\, a lacking ecological imperative\, remain part and parcel in regeneration discourses. In this webinar we want to unpack these commonplaces\, looking for new entries and outlooks\, based on changing lifestyles and new imaginaries. \nAgenda\nIntroduction (5’)\nPilot project SoHoLab: Dominique Lefrançois (10’)\nMirror project: Anne Lacaton\, Lacaton & Vasal (10’)\nKeynote lecture: Paola Vigano\, Studio Paola Vigano\, EPFL\, IUAV (25’)\nDebate (30’)\nSummary (5’) \nVisit http://www.soholab.org/news/soholab-webinars for more information and to register \nLearn more about SoHoLab \n\nThe SoHoLab project was a 3-year research addressing resident involvement\, local knowledge and stakeholder collaboration in the context of the regeneration of large-scale social estates.

SUMMARY:SMARTER 2020 Conference: 6th Webinar - Sustainable Urban Development and Innovation: aligning policies for change
DESCRIPTION:This webinar\, by the Smart Specialisation Platform at the European Commission\, targets the nexus between urban development and innovation\, and the integration of different policy instruments and frameworks. JPI Urban Europe’s chair of the Management board\, Margit Noll\, joins the panel. You can read the following info about the webinar and register on the organiser’s event page: \nIn our fast-changing world\, Europe is facing pressing challenges – climate change\, digital transition\, ageing\, migration and social inequalities – and cities are often in the frontline to deliver solutions. Moreover\, cities and urban regions are not just mere containers for innovative activities but are actively involved in the generation of new ideas\, organisational forms and solutions (products\, services\, and businesses). \nThe importance of cities in driving the transition towards a sustainable way of living for all is well recognised in the Urban Agenda for the EU\, the upcoming “New Leipzig Charter – The Transformative Power of Cities for the Common Good” and in global agendas\, such as the Sustainable Development Goals and the New Urban Agenda. This is also mirrored by the fact that cities’ innovation is at the core of different EU initiatives for post 2020\, from EU cohesion policy to the new mission-oriented approach of Horizon Europe. Both policies aim at fostering new alliances and coalitions for change\, and achieve common and broader development goals. \nThe webinar will address the nexus between urban development and innovation and explore the possible integration of different policy instruments and frameworks. The issue of policy alignment is particularly relevant considering that on the one hand\, integrated and place-based approach is gaining importance in the EU innovation policy debate\, and on the other hand\, cities are regaining control of innovation agenda at local level\, with emphasis on collaborative models\, participation and strategic thinking. In other words\, there is a need to address conditions and opportunities for aligning EU policies\, as well as the role of national urban policies in promoting innovative solutions and arrangements. \nFollowing a framing speech by Kevin Morgan\, the webinar will present reflections on ongoing experiences as Sustainable Urban Development strategies supported by cohesion policy\, the JPI Urban Europe research network and the co-creation process of the New Leipzig Charter. All together\, they will provide the opportunity to discuss to what extent the EU discourse on integrated urban development can steer a different approach to innovation. \n\nMore information\n\n\nThe Handbook of Sustainable Urban Development Strategies\n\n\n\nAgenda and Presentations\nWelcome and opening speech: \n\nPeter Bosch\, Advisor for Cross Disciplinary Knowledge to the Deputy Director-General of the Joint Research Centre\n\nChair: Alessandro Rainoldi\, Head of Unit\, Joint Research Centre\, European Commission \nMain session: \n\nKevin Morgan\, Cardiff University\nMargit Noll\, JPI Urban Europe\nMartina Pertoldi\, Joint Research Centre\, European Commission\nMart Grisel\, European Urban Knowledge Network (EUKN)\n\nModerator: Carlotta Fioretti\, Joint Research Centre\, European Commission \nClosing of the SMARTER2020 conference: \n\nSally Hardy\, CEO\, Regional Studies Association\nAlessandro Rainoldi\, Head of Unit\, Joint Research Centre\, European Commission\n>> Regsiter here

SUMMARY:Urban Lunch Talk #15 - Taking action in capacity building for sustainable futures
DESCRIPTION:What are the capacities needed to drive urban transitions to sustainable futures? Past decades have presented the knowledge and technical expertise to build more sustainable urban areas – but what are the prerequisites or strategies for going from ambition to transition? This Urban Lunch Talk will start with two brief result presentations by projects in the Making Cities Work call. Following the presentations\, invited guests will exchange knowledge and give examples of capacities needed to drive urban transitions. Are there experiences\, guidelines and approaches to learn from? Registered participants to this event can listen to invited guests and participate via the chat and the polls. At the end of the event\, the chat will remain open for 15 more minutes and participants will be invited to a Slack channel for continued self-organised chat and exchange. Representatives from the upcoming call for project proposals ERA-NET Cofund Urban Transformation Capacities (ENUTC) will be available for questions about the call in the webinar chat. \n\n\n\n\n\n\nYou are currently viewing a placeholder content from YouTube.

Martin recently wrote the chapter “Strategy: What is more important than getting things done? Learning from Sustainable Sydney 2030” in the book “Dilemmas of Sustainable Urban Development – A View From Practice” (in this book you also find the chapter “Programming Urban Transitions in Practice” by JPI Urban Europe).\nM’Lisa Lee Colbert is the Associate Director of The Nature of Cities\, an international platform for transdisciplinary dialogue and urban solutions: “We curate the sharing of diverse\, transformative ideas about cities as ecosystems of people\, nature\, and infrastructure”. M’Lisa designs and develops transdisciplinary projects and programming. The mission of The Nature of Cities is to curate joined conversations about urbanism across ways of knowing and modes of action. The organisation strives for cities worldwide that are resilient\, sustainable\, livable\, and just.\nSascha Benes works as an urban planner and digital strategist at Örebro Municipality\, a middle-sized city in Sweden – and one of the fastest growing ones (due to an increase in children and elderly). Creating a robust urban (and rural) system and finding innovative solutions effectively is key to the sustainable provision of services within\, and liveability of the municipality as a whole. Örebro has experiences of working with organisational trust and so called “incremental change management” as means for urban robustness.\nRichard Pfeifer\, from the SYNCITY project\, will present how urban transformation projects\, especially in deprived areas with highly diverse communities\, can reach high acceptance by dwellers and have positive consequences for the urban society as such\, the economy and the overall co-living in the city. Participation processes are often subject to hidden agendas or implicit values conveyed through discursive practices in actor constellations. SYNCITY opted for a transparent way to deal with this dilemma and developed the Syncity Sustainability Criteria – a normative framework for steering through the midst of participatory urban planning.\nAnna Fredriksson\, from the MIMIC project\, will present results on stakeholder dialogue\, logistics optimization\, mobility\, and smart governance to facilitate and support logistics around urban construction sites. MIMIC has created a decision support that shows how the impact of a decision will affect the next step and decision. “Our goal is always to minimise the storage- and transport costs. In the end this is also the most sustainable solution\, so it is a gain for everyone\, both the climate and the developer’s wallet”\, says Anna Fredriksson.\n\n>> MIMIC results presentation\n\n \nSYNCITY results presentation \n  \n \nBackground\nThe Urban Lunch Talks in 2020 have been shaped on the theme of “taking action” as they followed up on the 2019 talks introducing the dilemma-driven approach in JPI Urban Europe’s Strategic Research and Innovation Agenda (SRIA) 2.0. At the same time\, supported projects in Making Cities Work (which targets R&I implementation issues) are delivering results. As part of the preparation of the next European Research and Innovation Framework Programme – Horizon Europe – new mechanisms for public-public partnerships are under development. One of the candidates for such a European partnership is the Driving Urban Transitions to a Sustainable Future (DUT) partnership\, which builds upon the achievements of JPI Urban Europe. The partnership aims to strengthen JPI Urban Europe’s joint efforts of bringing knowledge and evidence into action – towards sustainable urban development. \nResearch and innovation (R&I) contribute with evidence on urban dilemmas and can support capacity building for urban transformation: turning wicked issues into synergistic potential. This needs to be supported by aligning ongoing related initiatives and by building upon existing experience and knowledge. You can read more about these themes in JPI Urban Europe’s upcoming ERA-NET Cofund urban transformation capacities (ENUTC). \nIntroduction to “urban transformation capacities”\nUrban transformation capacities involve the process of building capacities such as skills\, insights\, tools\, organisational and personal capabilities\, working methods and processes\, access to experiences and verifiable knowledge. Developing strategies to enhance urban transformation capacities also includes public sector innovation and new approaches to governance\, building of new structures and procedures e.g. for envisioning and scenario development; for carrying out\, evaluating and scaling up urban experiments; for collaboration of the public sector\, private sector\, academia and civil society; for integrating policies across sectors; and for learning\, monitoring and reflection of change processes etc. Capacity building is also enabled and supported by using new technologies and tools\, knowledge co-creation\, urban experimental approaches at different scales (e.g. urban living labs\, city labs\, maker spaces)\, policy labs\, and other kinds of systematic approaches for stakeholder including non-academic stakeholder involvement. \nTransnational policy documents such as Transforming our world: the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development\, the New Urban Agenda and the Urban Agenda for the EU\, stress the great urgency for a rapid sustainable transformation of cities and urban areas worldwide. They present ambitious and comprehensive targets addressing a wide variety of urban challenges in order to make cities and human settlements inclusive\, safe\, healthy\, resilient and sustainable. Furthermore\, they highlight the need to stake out pathways for an urban transformation that strengthen relevant stakeholders and actors’ capacities to tackle the sustainability challenges ahead. This transformation requires capacity building by and for all actors involved in the transition to a sustainable future. \n(Source: the ENUTC draft call text\, 2020-12-01) \n \nQuestions about this event?
