ECOCITY World Summit
2017-07-12 - 2017-07-14 | Melbourne Convention and Exhibition Centre, 1 Convention Centre Pl, Melbourne, Victoria, 3006, Australia
Humanity has entered its urban age, with a rapidly growing majority of the population now living in cities. The ‘urban globe’ faces unprecedented social and environmental challenges. The chief danger is climate change, which threatens epic disruption and hardship. But there are related challenges to human health, biodiversity and the bedrocks of life – food, water, and energy. At the same time, new ‘smart’ technologies are proposing solutions to planetary problems.
One principal solution is apparent: our cities must become ecological cities if we want a sustainable world. Creating ecocities must now be a human priority. Australia, a nation of cities, is well-placed to contribute to this urgent global project.
The ECOCITY World Summit addresses the way humanity builds its home — its cities, towns and villages
The series focuses on key actions cities and citizens can take to rebuild our human habitat in balance with living systems, and, in the process, slow down and even reverse global heating, biodiversity collapse, loss of wilderness habitat, agricultural lands and open space, and social and environmental injustices.

Mobility is a multifaceted topic with a complex past development. Ideological quarrels, almost religious wars have been fought during the past decades when talking about mobility issues: boundless mobility for free citizens or priority to humane, liveable settlements? Can mobility cost transparency start an overdue restructuring or would it bring down or complete economic system? Expansion of transport infrastructure to shrink distances or shrinking of transport infrastructure for a compact city of short distances?

Conference: Cities set Standards to be Smarter and more Sustainable
2017-10-19 | Albert Borschettecentrum, Rue Froissart 36, Brussels, 1040
How to replicate smart city solutions? Are standards the right tools for cities? Can the European Standardization Organizations be part of the cities’ journey towards a smart and sustainable future?
WHY?
Cities are not always fully aware of what standards can offer, as they may not be familiar with the value voluntary standards bring and how to get involved in the standardization system. This conference will bring cities and standardizers together to debate on priorities and needs for cities in their journey to become smarter and more sustainable.
Therefore this event aims to:
•raise awareness and promote standardization among cities and citizens;
•showcase and exchange cities’ best practices where standards play an important role;
•find out how to replicate smart cities solutions;
•collect expression of needs for further standardization development;
•motivate decision-makers and investors.
The results of the debates will feed into the CEN-CENELEC-ETSI Sector Forum on ‘Smart and Sustainable Cities and Communities’ acting as advisory and coordinating body for European standardization activities in this field.
WHAT?
In the realm of the 2017 World Standards Day theme ‘Standards make cities smarter’, the European Standardization Organizations organize an intensive one-day event with keynotes, case studies and panel discussions. The purpose is to explore the needs of and provide solutions for smart cities in their roll out of suitable infrastructures, services, systems, devices, equipment and much more.
Participants will be able to network and be inspired by solutions that address the challenges of making cities smart and more sustainable, learn from existing projects about how standards already contribute to this goal in Europe, and discover how standards can help in scaling up and replicating smart and sustainable cities’ solutions.
FOR WHOM?
•Representatives of local communities
•city authorities
•city professionals
•representatives of smart cities projects
•associations of cities
•policy makers and regulators
•regions
•investors and governments
•standardizers
•societal stakeholders
•other interested parties

2017 China-EU Conference on Sustainable Urbanisation: Innovation-Driven Development in New Areas
2017-10-26 09:00 - 17:30 UTC | China Academy of Urban Planning and Design 海淀区, 车公庄西路10号 Beijing, China 100089, China
Introduction
The 2017 China-EU Conference on Sustainable Urbanisation aims to build on and continue the previous achievements of the EU-China Urbanisation Partnership, which was agreed in May 2012 by President Barroso and Premier Li Keqiang. In 2017, we commemorate the five-year anniversary of this Partnership. This first annual conference plays an important role in the implementation of both the Partnership and the Ministry of Science and Technology’s Horizon 2020 Co-Funding Mechanism as a means of facilitating future discussion, collaboration, and mutual learning between countries.
China is in the processes of establishing an Innovation-Driven New Area and the focus of this conference will be on this initiative. The Xiongan New Area will demonstrate how innovative-driven development, prioritising ecological protection and improving people’s well-being, can be introduced. The construction of the Xiongan New Area is of national significance and will support similar initiatives planned for the Shenzhen Special Economic Zone, and the Shanghai Pudong New Area. Innovation-driven development in New Areas is an important new area of growth which would benefit greatly from international cooperation to promote the sharing of knowledge and resources to address urban, regional, and global issues such as sustainability, city-to-city connectivity, industry links, and city development.
The conference will bring together urban planners, policy makers, industry experts, practitioners, and scholars from around the world to share their insights, experience and solutions to the Innovation-Driven Development in New Areas. Delegates will include representatives from the European Union and Chinese governments, European city mayors, distinguished urbanisation experts, and key decision makers who will discuss innovative-led recommendations for our future approach to sustainable urbanisation, EU-China joint strategies, co-funding, as well as an exchange of knowledge and facilitation of science-city-industry partnerships.

3rd GPC Workshop on the future of Joint Programming
2017-11-07 09:00 - 12:00 | MCM – Management Centre Europe, Rue de lÁcqueduc 118, Brussels, 1050
How to improve coherence of the partnership landscape and strengthen the delivery of partnerships on mission oriented programmes?
The landscape of partnerships and networks dealing with research and innovation issues to tackle societal challenges has diversified over the last years. Since each of these challenges represents wicked issues they can only be addressed in partnership of research, policy, business and society, involving actors on local, regional, national and international level in variable geometries. Different partnership formats have therefore emerged facilitating cooperation of national, European and international actors. Nearly all of these partnerships have specified their missions, developed longer-term strategies and set-up portfolios of joint actions.
The workshop aims to take a next step towards a reflection of existing partnerships and their missions against requirements of future mission oriented programmes and a more coherent landscape of such partnerships. Parallel sessions will allow thematic in-depth discussions on how to improve the coherence between partnerships and potentially rationalise the current landscape. Participants will discuss how to improve delivery of partnerships in tackling specific societal challenges and related missions.
A parallel session on sustainable cities is supported by JPI Urban Europe and JPI Cultural Heritage.

EUROCITIES 2017 Ljubljana - circular cities
2017-11-15 - 2017-11-17
EUROCITIES 2017 Ljubljana will take place on 15-17 November and will focus on ‘circular economy’.
Our current levels of consumption exceed what our natural resource systems can produce, and we throw away more than we reuse or recycle, with tangible consequences for our environment and climate. Cities are responsible for implementing national and EU recycling targets and can play a crucial role in stimulating behavioural change relating to consumption patterns. As procurers of goods and services we can guide decisions towards more circular choices, and build local partnerships with businesses moving towards circular production models. How can we strive to become circular cities and support the UN sustainable development goal of ‘ensuring sustainable consumption and production patterns’?
Ljubljana has achieved impressive results over the past 10 years through the implementation of a comprehensive zero waste strategy, which has proven a powerful driver for societal change. The city’s success is based on: strong political commitment and leadership; sound management; investment in ambitious infrastructure; collaboration with citizens; and an active communications strategy promoting reduction, reuse and responsible consumption to all citizens.
