SUMMARY:Energy Lunch Talk 2 – Instruments for collective renovation of the built environment
DESCRIPTION:In this talk\, Energy Cities will discuss how the renovation of existing districts can be accelerated. How do we move from the renovation / retrofitting of singular (private) houses one by one to a collective approach (e‧g. additional subsidies\, renovation coaches\, energy houses\, one-stop-shop or other support schemes)? By bringing in examples from within and outside our own cities\, an evaluation will be made of (collective) renovation schemes that worked or not\, and especially what are the next steps to be explored on this level. \nAgenda\n13:00 -13:10 – Introduction \n13:10 – 13:25 – Learning from Brussels: collective renovation for district development and social inclusions \n13:25 – 13:40 – Learning from Vienna: City instrument “Block Renovation” to accelerate the renovation of existing districts. Presentation by wohnfonds_wien. \n13:40 – 14:00 – Open discussion \nRegister here

SUMMARY:ERA-NET Cofund Urban Transformation Capacities (EN-UTC) Kick-off Event & AGORA Dialogue
DESCRIPTION:The 16 projects selected for funding of the ERA-NET Cofund Urban Transformation Capacities (EN-UTC) are starting! A kick-off event will be held on the 5th April 2022\, and offer inspiration and opportunities for mutual exchange among the projects to enhance impact early on\, and build a community of practice. In order to strengthen networking and community building\, the AGORA Dialogue on the 6 th April\, invites the EN-UTC projects\, as well as a wider spectrum of interested urban stakeholders\, to discuss critical factors for delivering transformative urban change. . \n \nTime and place: 5–6 April\, online (Zoom) \nPurpose: The 16 national funding agencies\, from 14 countries\, in the call ERA-NET Cofund Urban Transformation Capacities (EN-UTC)\, have agreed on a list of 16 projects recommended for funding. These transnational innovation and research projects gather more than 200 researchers\, cities and municipalities\, businesses\, civil society\, as well as other stakeholders. The kick-off will be a day for inspiration\, exciting discussions\, and getting to know each other – followed by a second day with in-depth conversations and a wider spectrum of participants (the AGORA Dialogue). \nAim: The event will facilitate exchange and community building among the projects and their project partners\, support measures for projects to strengthen communication and impact creation\, and inform about formal requirements on monitoring and reporting\, and guidelines and support activities. The event will also connect the EN-UTC projects to a wider stakeholder community. \nFor whom: Project coordinators and project partners are invited to the kick-off as well as the AGORA Dialogue. In order to build a multi-stakeholder community for the EN-UTC\, project partners from municipalities\, businesses\, local communities and research are encouraged to participate in both events. \nRegistration: Registrations are open (scroll down). \nPreparation: Projects for the EN-UTC kick-off event are to prepare for speed presentations for a maximum 90 seconds\, focusing on the project’s main ambition and impact. More information for preparation will be provided shortly.

Besides an exchange on existing publication and resources that might be helpful for planning\, maintaining and boosting the urban living labs\, participants will have the chance to exchange on approaches\, potential challenges and how to work around them. \n2. How can public infrastructures be places of urban change and transformation for sustainable cities and communities? \nThis session aims at bringing together the EN-UTC project partners who focus on public urban infrastructure\, like libraries\, schools\, and public space\, as places of urban change and transformation for sustainable cities and communities – e.g. urban design for circular systems and the extension of gardens in European cities for social-ecological transformations. The session will involve discussions on how places of encounter could take on the challenges for sustainable cities and communities. \n3. How can urban governments\, researchers and citizens connect to enable participatory policy making and facilitate community-based developments towards urban transformation? \nThis session intends to address the EN-UTC project partners who work towards participatory policy making and local urban government by facilitating public engagement\, thus creating opportunities for more collaborative government approaches. The session will involve discussions on how residents can be included in governmental and planning processes on a local scale\, and on the challenges of conducting research into the dynamics between government authorities\, citizens and other local stakeholders. \n4. Raising awareness to accelerate urban transformations \nThis session aims at connecting the EN-UTC project partners who work towards increasing knowledge and engagement for a sustainable urban environment. The session will invite discussions on how to get target groups involved\, and other efforts related\, to raising awareness on sustainability and inspiring confidence to act for transformations of the urban environment\, such as the development of a circular economy and nature-based solutions. \n\n14.20 Previous learnings from JPI Urban Europe\n14.40 Elena Simion\, Call Secretariat\, Information on monitoring and reporting\n15.00 Open session for networking\n\n  \nAGORA Dialogue\, April 6\, 09.30-12.30 CEST (Stockholm – Paris time) \nThe AGORA Dialogue will build upon the EN-UTC projects and facilitate a dialogue between these and interested urban actors\, change makers from research and innovation\, local public administration\, urban doers communities\, SMEs\, businesses\, civil society associations\, and others – to exchange on how urban transformative capacities can nurture change towards sustainable and liveable urban futures.

SUMMARY:AGORA Thematic Dialogue:  Building transformation capacities for collective urban futures
DESCRIPTION:Online via Zoom\nWhile there are numerous strategies\, agendas\, calls and activities in science\, policy \, and practice on various levels aiming at building urban transformation capacities\, it remains unclear “what kind of capacity can actually deliver change towards sustainability that is transformative” (Wolfram et al. 2019). The AGORA Dialogue “Building transformation capacities for collective urban futures” will spark a discussion and exchange on critical factors for delivering transformative urban change.\nJPI Urban Europe recently funded 16 projects which aim at building urban transformation capacities. The projects bring together a total of 214 local public administrations\, SMEs\, research and innovation organisations\, civil society partners and other urban actors to enable capacity building for urban transformations. Each project addresses specific topics and issues as well as communities: from age-friendly cities\, to the role of libraries and schools\, artificial intelligence and augmented reality in transformation processes\, societal polarisation and inequalities\, strengthening resilience through inclusive processes and much more. \nThe AGORA Dialogue will build upon these projects and facilitate a dialogue between these project and interested urban actors and change makers from research and innovation\, local public administration\, urban doers communities\, SMEs\, businesses\, civil society associations and others to exchange on how urban transformative capacities can nurture change towards sustainable and liveable urban futures. EN-UTC project partners are especially encouraged to join the AGORA Dialogue to exchange on how their projects will support urban change. \nThe AGORA Thematic Dialogue aims at grasping the complexity of approaches to drive urban transitions. Concretely\, the workshop aims at: \n\nconnecting EN-UTC funded projects with the AGORA community\, JPI Urban Europe’s community of urban change makers;\nIdentifying factors for delivering transformative change;\nExchange on how individual projects can shape societal discourses and collective urban futures.\n\n

SUMMARY:Africities 9th Summit 2022 in Kisumu\, Kenya
DESCRIPTION:The Pan-African Organisation of United Cities and Local Governments of Africa (UCLG Africa) is organising the 9th edition of the Africities Summit (Africities 9) from 17th to 21st May 2022\, in Kisumu\, Kenya. \nThe theme of the 9th Africities Summit is: “The Role of Intermediary Cities of Africa in the Implementation of Agenda 2030 of the United Nations and the African Union Agenda 2063”. \nThese two Agendas call for the urgent need to develop resilient and sustainable urbanization in Africa\, cognizant of the fact that by 2050 the bulk of African population will be living in cities\, and that the majority of city dwellers will settle in intermediary cities. The improvement of the living conditions of the African people and the economic and social structural transformation of the African continent is therefore closely linked to the way the realization of these agendas will be addressed in African intermediary cities\, which are for sure the places where Africa will be inventing her own approach and trajectory to sustainable human development based on her realities but also taking stock of the knowledge and experiences accrued across the world. As much as possible\, the development models to be implemented in Africa should be more energy efficient\, low carbon\, more inclusive\, and more resilient. \nDo join us in Kisumu on 17 to 21 May 2022 at the Africities Summit\, to be part of this endeavor in a place where Africa will be defining her new development trajectory based on African intermediary cities. \n\n\n\nVisit the UCLG Africa website : www.uclga.org

SUMMARY:Urban Living Labs: Collectively shaping urban futures with experimental approaches
DESCRIPTION:  \n  \n  \nJoin the session\nClick here for the French translation.\nCliquez ici pour la traduction française. \nThis is the first of two events on urban living labs of the French Presidency of the Council of the EU. Please click here for more information and registration for the the training session “Let’s co-create! But how to start?“ \nOver the last ten years\, co-creative experimental methods have become widely spread to address urban challenges in Europe. These endeavors reflect the need for open\, collaborative approaches taking into account the full complexity of urban dynamics for sustainable transitions. The presenters and panelists of this will discuss the potentials and limitations of experimental methods for urban transformation. It will highlight why we need to do things and experiment more to collectively shape our urban future(s).\nExperimental approaches and methods\, such as urban living labs\, usually involve high levels of co-creation among involved stakeholders bringing together public administration\, researchers\, civil society (organizations) and other urban actors to work together on a variety of urban issues including urban governance\, water management\, e-participation\, mobility management\, taking into account all the inhabitants and improving their relationship when necessary\, stakeholder involvement\, etc. \nCo-creative and experimental approaches have been proven to be suitable to address concrete urban challenges as they allow the combination of experiences\, perspectives and knowledge. By combining and jointly developing approaches and addressing urban challenges\, more robust ideas and results are developed which take into account urban complexities and urban dilemmas[1] which are key to sustainable urban development. \nIn other words\, the co-production of knowledge and approaches in experimental projects is all about collectively shaping urban futures including models of governance and societal development. Experimental approaches can play an essential role in developing new\, but also translating already existing\, approaches and good practices into different urban contexts. \nThis session will discuss the potentials and limitations of experimental methods in urban development for change to sustainable and livable urban futures. It will shed light on the how urban living labs can support the capacity building of municipal and urban public administration and other stakeholders involved to plan for change and learn from successes and failures. Among others\, the following questions will be addressed by the presenters and in the panel discussion: \n\nHow can experimenting then become the “new normal” to address urban challenges?\nWhat capacities are required for innovative leadership? And what are the risks involved?\nHow can experimental methods / urban living labs support the localization of European global sustainability strategies such as the New Green Deal\, the Leipzig Charta and UN’s Agenda 2030?\n\nJoin the session\n[1] “Urban dilemma: at least two competing goals and stakeholder interests which potentially fail to achieve their aims as implementing one strategy hampers or prevents the achievement of another.” JPI Urban Europe (2019:14) SRIA 2.0.

SUMMARY:Urban Living Labs: Let’s co-create! But how to start?
DESCRIPTION:THIS EVENT IS FULLY BOOKED. If you have any questions please contact Johannes Riegler.\n\n  \n  \n\n  \nClick here for the French translation.\nCliquez ici pour la traduction française. \nThis is the one two events on urban living labs of the French Presidency of the Council of the EU. Please click here for more information and registration for the the webinar “Urban Living Labs: Collectively shaping urban transformation with experimental approaches” on 8th June 2022. \nA training workshop on planning and maintaining experimental approaches for urban transitions\nThere is a lot of fuzz around experimental methods such as urban living labs since recently as contributing to urban transitions implies per definition to so things differently. However\, talking about experimental approaches seems to be much easier than planning and implementing them in existing (governance) structures\, let alone\, making experimenting part of full urban development processes. This training sessions allows participants to playfully lay out the cornerstones for experimental approaches and to discuss all the relevant questions such as: \nWhere to start? how to plan? … and what are the right methods / tools to tackle a specific urban challenge or implement global/national/regional sustainability strategies? Who should be involved? What if we fail? etc. \nBy using (parts) of the URB@EXP Urban Lab Kit\, participants will decide on a concrete urban challenge which they want to address. The Urban Lab Kit guides the participants to ask all relevant questions which are essential for planning\, starting\, conducting an experimental project / urban lab as well as how to boost its impact. Thus\, the training session will allow participants to plan the main elements of their “experimental project in a day”\, build capacities to work with experimental projects and allow them to discuss what benefits experimenting would have in their concrete urban context. \n\n\nTHIS EVENT IS FULLY BOOKED.

SUMMARY:Workshop “Just Energy Transitions in Africa”
DESCRIPTION:  \n \nThis event is from 2:00pm to 5:00pm CAT/CEST. \nClick here for the PDF invitation \nAn online workshop for experts working on/with issues on energy transitions\, positive energy districts and renewable energy in Africa\nAfrica and Europe share the challenge of systemic transformation towards a sustainable\, fossil-free future. However\, pre-conditions on the two continents – as well as between different regions of the continents – differ greatly. A just energy transition needs to explore regional particularities in terms of natural\, technological\, social\, economic or cultural resources and develop solutions building on these.\nEurope has set itself the ambitious goal of becoming climate-neutral by 2040 and puts a strong focus on urban areas with initiatives like theMission on Climate-neutral and Smart Cities or the New European Bauhaus. With good reason: Urban areas are pivotal spaces for change toward achieving climate mitigation targets\, decarbonisation and energy transitions. They consume more than two-thirds of the world’s energy and account for more than 70% of global CO2 emissions – moreover\, cities\, as hubs of communication\, commerce and culture also provide key resources for materialising sustainable solution pathways. However\, systemic change can only happen when considering the symbiotic connection between urban and rural areas\, a future energy system will build on an efficient exchange between cities and regions. \nAfrica accounts for only 3.8% of global greenhouse gas emissions. The lack of access to an affordable energy supply is a key threat to a just energy transition. Half of Africa’s total population\, i.e. 548 million people were without access to electricity in 2018 (The Renewable Energy Transition in Africa: Powering Access\, Resilience and Prosperity\, IRENA\, 2021). \nThis workshop brings together experts and urban actors across Africa to discuss and exchange on how (urban) energy transitions in Africa can contribute to just\, livable and sustainable futures. Additionally\, the pathways how to arrive at the envisioned futures will be discussed. \nWhat you can expect from the workshop \n\nExchange with peers and experts on energy challenges and transforming urban energy systems in African cities\, including in-depth exploration of positive energy districts.\nCo-creation: engage in interactive exercises to jointly reflect on the roles of diverse urban actors in energy transitions.\nCollaborating: on a collaborative publication at the end of the workshop series.\nNetworking: You are welcome to connect to the AGORA community\, the network of urban actors maintained by JPI Urban Europe.\n\nAim of Workshop \n\nIdentify the most pressing issues\, challenges and dilemmas for energy transitions in African cities overall. Find access points to jointly address those issues\, challenges and dilemmas in cooperation schemes.\nExchange on opportunities for international stakeholders to continue the dialogue and engagement.\n\nAbout the Organisers \nJPI Urban Europe is the knowledge hub for urban transitions\, an intergovernmental and strategic partnership of countries addressing the challenge of sustainable urban development through coordinated research and innovation. Currently\, Driving Urban Transitions (DUT)\, a partnership programme between Member States and the European Commission for the years 2022-2028 is in its final stage of development. As sustainable urbanization is a global issue\, with global policy references\, international cooperation plays an important role in DUT. \nSTART was founded in 1992 to strengthen capacities for global environmental change science in Africa and Asia that addresses critical sustainability challenges. The programs and partnerships provide opportunities for training\, research\, education and networking that strengthen scientific skills and inspire leadership. START is a core international partner of the United States Global Change Research Program and works closely with universities and research institutes in Africa and Asia\, as well as with multilateral agencies\, governments and non-governmental organizations. \nICLEI Africa connects leaders\, accelerates action and provides a gateway to solutions through capacity building\, projects on the ground and policy influence. ICLEI is an international non-governmental organization that promotes sustainable development. ICLEI provides technical consulting to local governments to meet sustainability objectives.

SUMMARY:WUF11: Networking Session - Unleashing the transformational potential of the New Leipzig Charter
DESCRIPTION:The New Leipzig Charter is a key policy framework document for sustainable urban development in Europe\, endorsed by the informal council of EU ministers on urban matter. It focusses on the transformative power of cities for the common good and calls for cities to have a stronger role in decision making at both national and EU level. Furthermore\, the New Leipzig Charter identifies three dimensions for urban transitions – the just city\, the green city\, and the productive city. While each priority calls for dedicated actions\, the interrelationships\, synergies\, conflicts and interdependencies between these dimensions must be considered to truly achieve sustainability and climate neutrality. \nThis session aims at discussing the thematic linkages\, potentials and critical issues in and between the three dimensions of the New Leipzig Charter and cities’ needs to drive urban transitions along these dimensions in an integrated approach. It will highlight key issues to empower cities to unleash their transformative potential in terms of rethinking governance processes\, openness to innovative approaches and learning loops to make evidence based decisions. The session will consist of short inputs / key statements by the panellists à 7-8 minutes\, followed by a panel discussion. Participants are asked to provide their input and feedback via an interactive conference / workshop tool. The session will be co-organised by JPI Urban Europe and the German Federal Ministry for Housing\, Urban Development and Building. \nSession speakers \n\n\nMargit Noll\, CEO\, Driving Urban Transition Partnership\n\n\n\n\n\n\nDominique Breier\, Officer for the department for urban development policies\, German Federal Ministry for Housing\, Urban Development and Building\n\n\n\n\n\n\nLuc Faraldi\, Coordinateur Politiques Internationale\, French National Agency for the Cohesion of Territories\n\n\n\nLead organizations\n\nGerman Federal Ministry for Housing\, Urban Development and Building\nJPI Urban Europe

SUMMARY:WUF11: Ensuring equitable and inclusive urban transformations leaving nobody behind: the role of science-policy- society cooperation
DESCRIPTION:Track: “Transforming European Cities” – Equitable and inclusive\, perspective: NGO and academia \nIn the last years\, numerous global and European strategies\, frameworks and policy agendas have been published and agreed which underline the need for transforming urban areas to address the biggest challenges of our time. In order to leave nobody behind\, inclusiveness and equity need to be at the centre of the transformation processes. Research and innovation projects can provide a platform to tap upon the transformative potential and local knowledge of civil society actors and urban stakeholders to drive change towards sustainable and livable urban futures. \nThe session moderated by Margit Noll\, Chair of the JPI Urban Europe Management Board will highlight selected cases\, local initiatives\, projects which aimed at transforming urban areas on a neighbourhood scale and offer good practice on how to achieve inclusive and equitable urban transitions. \nSpeakers \n\nChiara Tornaghi\, Coventry University\nJim Segers\, City Mine(d)\nSimon Pemberton\, Keele University\nMatthew Bach\, ICLEI Europe\nMartina De Sole\, European Network of Living Labs\nCristina Robledano Noreña\, Porticus\n\nVisit the website to learn more about the European Track of WUF11

SUMMARY:WUF11: Training session Urban Living Labs: Let’s co-create! But how to start?
DESCRIPTION:There is a lot of fuzz around experimental methods such as urban living labs since recently as contributing to urban transitions implies per definition to so things differently. However\, talking about experimental approaches seems to be much easier than planning and implementing them in existing (governance) structures\, let alone\, making experimenting part of full urban development processes. This training sessions allows participants to playfully lay out the cornerstones for experimental approaches and to discuss all the relevant questions such as Where to start? how to plan? … and what are the right methods / tools to tackle a specific urban challenge or implement global/national/regional sustainability strategies? Who should be involved? What if we fail? etc. \nThis training session aims at addressing these questions in a structured way addressing concrete urban challenges. By using (parts) of the URB@EXP Urban Lab Kit\, participants will decide on a concrete urban challenge which they want to address. The Urban Lab Kit guides the participants to ask all relevant questions which are essential for planning\, starting\, conducting an experimental project / urban lab as well as how to boost its impact. Thus\, the training session will allow participants to plan the main elements of their “experimental project in a day”\, build capacities to work with experimental projects and allow them to discuss what benefits experimenting would have in their concrete urban context. \nTraining instructors \n\nJohannes Riegler\, Stakeholder Involvement Officer – JPI Urban Europe\nMargit Noll\, Management Board Chair of JPI Urban Europe – Strategy and Coordination\n\nLead organization \n\nJPI Urban Europe \n\n

SUMMARY:WUF11: Green and Blue Infrastructure in Cities - Innovative Solutions for Governing Food-Water-Energy Nexus in Cities
DESCRIPTION:This event will be based on the results of the projects supported by JPI Urban Europe and the Belmont Forum as part of the Sustainable Urbanisation Global Initiative – SUGI: Understanding Innovative Initiatives for Governing Food\, Water and Energy Nexus in Cities (IFWEN) and Climate Resilient Urban Nexus CHoices: operationalising the Food-Water- Energy Nexus (CRUNCH). Participants will learn about the importance of Green and Blue Infrastructure (GBI) to improve Food-Water-Energy Nexus (FWEN) in urban settlements. This is important for advancing sustainable urban development because urban resource systems are under stress due to climate change and growing populations\, and many urban and environmental experts would agree that conventional siloed approaches often miss opportunities to manage these resources more efficiently. Food-Water-Energy Nexus is a powerful concept for showing the interdependencies between systems. Cities can play an important role in managing resources\, but are often unable to integrate different mandates or work across sectors. \n  \nProgram \nThe program will be comprised of: \n\nIntroduction to the training (5 minutes) – Introduction of the participants and objectives of the meeting\nProject presentations (40 minutes) – Each project will present to the participants the key results related to Food-Water-Energy Nexus in cities;\nDiscussions (40 minutes) – Participants will reflect on the opportunities and challenges for using GBI in their cities\nConcluding remarks (5 minutes) – Discuss the main takeaway points from the FWEN in cities\n\nThe event takes place at the JPI UE/DUT booth. \n  \nProfile of the training instructors \nJose A. Puppim de Oliveira is a faculty member at FGV (Fundação Getulio Vargas)\, Brazil. He leads the consortium of the research project IFWEN. \nJohannes Riegler is the Stakeholder Involvement Officer at JPI Urban Europe. \nJoanna Bach-Głowińska\, (Dr. Eng. Arch.)\, is an Adjunct Professor at Gdansk University of Technology in Poland\, the Principal Investigator at both ERA-Net Urban Transformation Capacities (ENUTC)  and of the research project CRUNCH. \n  \nLead organizations \nICLEI – Local Governments for Sustainability \nFGV – FUNDAÇÃO GETULIO VARGAS \nJPI Urban Europe  \n
