SUMMARY:Webinar: Urban Lunch Talk #9: From Partnering Globally to Thriving Locally
DESCRIPTION:EDIT: Find the recorded version of the webinar available in a playlist on our Youtube channel.\n\nWelcome 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. \n \nCan 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. \n\nWhat is the role of cities in shifting global development towards more attractive trajectories?\nIn which ways can transnational cooperation help break out of “business as usual”-ways of doing research and innovation?\nHow can local and national governments around the world work successfully with the outcomes of research- and innovation?\n\nMeet…\n\n\nJose A. Puppim de Oliveira is a faculty member at the Getúlio Vargas Foundation (Rio de Janeiro and São Paulo) and also teaches at Fudan University (Shanghai) and Universidad Andina Simón Bolívar (Quito). His research and policy interests concentrate in patterns of governance\, institution building and policy implementation at different levels\, looking at how global and national institutions are interlinked to local governance and action. His experience comprises research\, consultancy and policy work in more than 20 countries in all continents. José manages the IFWEN (Innovation in Food-Water-Energy Nexus)-project\, part of the SUGI call. The project develops a framework and tools to assess changes in Food-Water-Energy Nexus (FWEN)\, their related trade-offs and the building of innovative capabilities in cities for developing solutions to FWEN and manage Green and Blue Infrastructure at the urban level.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nElin Andersdotter Fabre (@elinafabre) is a political scientist and Program Director for the Sustainable Cities Program at independent think tank Global Utmaning/Global Challenge (@GlobalUt). She recently finalized the #UrbanGirlsMovement project which has assessed and gathered lessons learned in cities globally and connected them to improving liveability for girls locally in Botkyrka\, Sweden. In #UrbanGirlsMovement Botkyrka\, local girls took  lead as “place experts” in re-designing public space together with researchers\, professionals and the city administrations- with results demonstrating sustainability thinking that caters to all citizen groups. The toolbox and report from the project has been handed over to Sweden’s Minister of Equality and to UN Habitat. Elin has previously worked with policy development and advocacy within the framework of the UN’s new development agenda focusing on sustainable urban development. She has a broad experience of work on development issues – democracy\, human rights\, gender equality and security from the UN\, the Government Offices in Sweden and civil society. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n(Rapporteur) Margit Noll is Chair of the Management Board of JPI Urban Europe since 2015.

SUMMARY:AGORA Thematic Dialogue 2019
DESCRIPTION:***\nThanks for your interest in our event. Unfortunately the workshop is already fully booked.\nPlease contact the organiser (johannes.riegler@jpi-urbaneurope.eu) to be put on the waiting list!\n***\n\nUnfolding dilemmas in urban public space development and maintenance:\nConsequences for policy and research and innovation\nRiga\, Latvia\n20 Nov // 16.00 Guided tour in host city on the topic of public space\n20 Nov // 19.00 Joint Dinner\n21 Nov // 09.00 – 17.00 AGORA Workshop: Dilemmas of Public Space \n\nUrban public spaces fulfil important societal functions and shape many of the characteristics of cities and urban areas. However\, there are several dilemmas (competing goals\, interests\, strategies\, etc.) involved in their development and maintenance. In simpler terms\, addressing one issue/challenge in an urban context might have negative effects in another realm. Regarding urban public spaces\, for instance\, typical crossings of concerns relate to everyone’s right to the city\, openness to different societal groups\, climate change actions and how to cater for safety and security without promoting increasingly exclusive spaces. \nIn order to discuss these issues with you\, JPI Urban Europe would like to invite you to a workshop dedicated to unfold the dilemmas of urban public spaces. You are welcome to share your expertise\, perspectives and experiences from your work and ongoing and/or past projects and to exchange/co-create with colleagues in this multi- and interdisciplinary workshop. \nThis AGORA Thematic Dialogue will bring together 30-40 participants from urban administration and public authorities\, research community\, SMEs and business representatives\, civil society and\, grassroot organisations as well as other urban actors working on related topics. \n\nFor questions or comments\, please contact: \n\nJohannes Riegler\nJPI Urban Europe\nStakeholder Involvement Officer\n\n\nJohannes.Riegler@jpi-urbaneurope.eu

SUMMARY:Webinar Urban Lunch Talk #8: From Public Space to Liveability Case
DESCRIPTION:EDIT: Listen to the recording of this webinar on our Youtube channel\, here. \nWelcome to an interactive talk about doing business as (un)usual for liveable public space. How can cities and national stakeholders contribute to high-quality Baukultur\, and what does it mean? What are the synergies in public space dilemmas\, and how can they contribute to more liveable urban areas? You can watch the recording of this webinar in a our playlist on Youtube. \nThere are several dilemmas (competing goals\, interests\, strategies\, etc.) involved in the development and maintenance of urban public space. Ideally\, city stakeholders can integrate issues such as climate\, energy\, mobility\, inclusivness\, placemaking and liveability. However\, addressing one issue or challenge in an urban context might have negative effects in another area. Typical crossings of concerns relate to everyone’ right to the city\, openness to different societal groups\, climate change actions and how to cater for safety and security without promoting increasingly exclusive spaces. ‘Inclusive Public Spaces for Urban Livability’ is one of the thematic priorities of JPI Urban Europe’s SRIA 2.0. In this webinar\, invited speakers lay out ideas for transitions pathways in public space dilemmas. \n\nWhat actions should innovators\, businesses\, researchers\, civil servants and policy makers attend to\, in order to work successfully with the dilemma of public space? What can you do in your specific role?\nHow can cities and national stakeholders contribute to high-quality Baukultur\, and what does it mean?\nAligning with the World Urban Forum 10 thematics: What is the role of culture (human behaviours\, historical culture) in urban public space?\nWhat are the interactions among public spaces\, urban design\, sociology and behaviour research on the one hand- and ICT on the other?\n\n  \nMeet…\n\nChristina Haas is an Urban designer\, architect and Baukultur specialist at the Swiss Federal Office of Culture\, committed to the sustainable promotion of a high-quality Baukultur: “building is culture and buildings create space for culture” as demonstrated in the Davos Declaration. High-quality Baukultur can lead to well designed and lively cities and villages equipped to meet changing social requirements\, while preserving their historical character. How can you contribute to high-quality Baukultur in urban areas?\nPeter Dalsgaard\, Professor of Interaction Design at Aarhus University. Peter explores the use and design of digital systems from a humanistic perspective. On the practical side of things\, he explores how we can use these insights to develop new interactive systems that support and augment creative work\, often in collaboration with external partners in industry and the public sector. Peter is the Principal investigator of PLACED (Place- and Activity-Centric Digital Library Services) which is part of the JPI Urban Europe ENSUF call. PLACED introduces a new type of place- and activity-centric digital library services. Whereas library services typically focus on providing access to a collection of media\, PLACED services support activities.\nBarbara Goličnik Marušić is Head of research at the Urban Planning Institute of the Republic of Slovenia\, leading and coordinating the interdisciplinary research programme Spatial planning. She holds a PhD in landscape architecture and is mainly involved in multidisciplinary projects concerned with sustainable development\, quality of living and environment-behaviour issues in the context of urban planning and design. Barbara is part of the project C3PLACES (JPI Urban Europe ENSUF call) which uses information and communications technology (ICT) for co-creation of inclusive public places. The project uses a Urban Living Lab approach and is present in Crema (Italy)\, Ghent (Belgium)\, Lisbon (Portugal) and Vilnius (Lithuania). The aim is to advance knowledge on the interactions among public spaces\, urban design\, sociology and behaviour research on the one hand- and ICT on the other. Contact Barbara.\n(Rapporteur) Jonas Bylund(@urbanalys) is the Research and Innovation Officer in JPI Urban Europe. We will enjoy a wrap up and a meta-reflection from Jonas who will link the talk outcomes to the purposes of JPI Urban Europe’s Strategic Research and Innovation Agenda and dilemma-driven approaches to urban research and innovation.\n(Host) Caroline Wrangsten\, urban geographer and Assistant Project Manager in JPI Urban 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 twenty different countries\, representing urban administration and public authorities\, research communities\, business representatives and civil society.The results of this webinar will feed into JPI Urban Europe’s AGORA workshop “Dilemmas of Public Space“\, taking place on 20-21 November in Riga. The workshop in Riga will be used by JPI Urban Europe to (a) develop a policy brief on the matter of dilemmas related to urban public spaces (participants are welcome to be listed as contributors); (b) generate input for its 2020 joint call ERA-NET Cofund Urban Transition Capacities; and (c) provide input to the Urban Agenda for the EU Partnership on Security of Public Spaces.\nListen to the recording of this webinar on our Youtube channel\, here.

SUMMARY:Webinar Urban Lunch Talk #7: From Test to Success
DESCRIPTION:EDIT: Listen to the recording of the webinar on our Youtube channel\, here. \nWelcome to a webinar about Urban Living Labs 2.0. What does “success” mean in the context of urban experimentation and Urban Living Labs (and how do you get there in practice?) Can Urban Living Lab approcahes be tools for capacity building on wicked issues? It is time to make the investment in Urban Living Labs more sustainable and the learning more integrated.  \nUrban Living Labs have over the recent decade become a common type of co-creative experimentation\, offering us the opportunity to research and innovate on a wide variety of challenges in everyday setting and test hypotheses and elements to pathways for making transitions towards urban sustainable living. Europe seems particularly a hotspot for this approach. A typical Urban Living Lab will run for as long as a project (usually three years) and after this period data is collected\, results are drawn together\, a summary is written and\, in some situations\, changes in the wider urban context happen. However\, mounting concern by practice\, innovators\, and research is that this last step is too rare and after the project funding stops there is little systematic integration of any of the practical outputs. Is it really about “scaling up” successful results\, or rather about “scaling across”? In sum\, the intended and potential contribution by Urban Living Labs to urban transformation seems unfulfilled. In this webinar we explore going beyond Urban Living Labs towards a different paradigm offered by Living Labs 2.0… \n\nHow can cities\, innovators and researchers best synthesize and make use of results from many different successful test beds\, labs and urban experimenting?\nCan Urban Living Lab approcahes be tools for capacity building on wicked issues?\nHow might we integrate Urban Living Labs approaches into the DNA of Urban Governance? Should we?\n\nBring your knowledge\, projects and concerns to this webinar. Participate and exchnage in the chat\, Q&A and polls. \n  \nMeet…\n\nClaire Gordon is a Senior Researcher at Social Life (@SL_cities)an independent research organisation created by the Young Foundation in 2012 to work internationally on innovation and placemaking. As part of the Bright Future project (JPI Urban Europe ENSUF call)\, Social Life has been leading a process exploring how locally-driven social innovation can help respond to the needs of industrial towns in Slovenia\, Romania\, the Netherlands\, Finland and the UK. Alongside this\, Claire has worked on a range of place-based projects exploring the dynamics of neighbourhoods and how they are impacted and can be supported through development or regeneration. Prior to joining Social Life\, Claire worked as a researcher examining market approaches in development at the School of Oriental and African Studies (SOAS)\, University of London and at the University of Oxford. Her background is in the not-for-profit sector\, having spent several years at a digital inclusion NGO in Brazil.\nMichiel Dehaene is associate professor at the department of Architecture and Urban Planning\, Ghent University\, where he teaches courses in urban analysis and design. He is the chairman of the Flemish Jury of Urban Renewal Projects in Flanders.  His work focuses on sub-urban renewal\, the (planning) history of dispersed urban development\, and sustainable cities. His research includes systematic work on planning and design models to address the urbanizaton of food. Michiel currently works with the project “Urbanising in Place” (JPI Urban Europe SUGI call) which seeks to define components of an “agroecological urbanism”: a model of urbanisation which places food\, metabolic cycles and an ethics of land stewardship\, equality and solidarity at its core. The project works with communities of practice in in both South America and in Europe: Rosario\, Riga\, Brussels and London.\nJochen Wendel is a researcher at the European Institute for Energy Research (EIFER) in Karlsruhe\, Germany. He is coordinating\, together with Pia Laborgne\, the SUGI nexus project  Creating Interfaces project running Urban Living Labs in Poland\, Romania and the U.S. They work with capacity building for the urban food-water-energy (FWE) -nexus\, making the FWE-linkages understandable to the stakeholders (city government\, science\, business and citizens)\, and facilitating cooperation and knowledge exchange among them by using innovative approaches for local knowledge co-creation and participation through Urban Living Labs and Citizen Science. His background is in GIScience and he received his PhD in Geography from the University of Colorado Boulder\, USA. Prior to the Creating Interfaces project\, Jochen has worked on several projects related to smart cities applications\, location-based services\, and data visualization with several state agencies and private companies in the US and Germany. Pia Laborgne is sociologist and researcher at the European Institute for Energy Research (EIFER)\, focusing on urban sustainability strategies\, e.g. regarding citizen participation\, citizen science and stakeholder cooperation. With Jochen Wendel\, she is coordinating the SUGI nexus project “Creating Interfaces”.\nParticipants from anywhere in the world who will join the conversation through the chat room\, polls and Q&A sessions.

DESCRIPTION:At the European Week of Regions and Cities\, the European Commission\, the Joint Research Centre of the European Commission and JPI Urban Europe will organize a session with focus on Urban and regional transitions in Widening countries and lagging regions and the best way they can be supported through smart specialisation and transnational cooperation. \nJPI Urban Europe has the aim to establish long-term policy relations and support urban transitions in and with Widening Countries and Europe’s Outermost Regions by engaging (urban) actors\, practitioners\, decision makers in its activities.Something which is in foucs in our EXPAND II project that aims at mobilising national communities of urban actors of Widening Countries and to be the platform to create\, combine\, discuss and make available knowledge and robust evidence for urban transition. With cases from the Azores\, Cyprus\, Romania and more Widening countries and regions\, we hope for a fruitful discussion and sharing of knowledge! \nAGENDA  \n16:30   Welcome and setting the scene \nSpeaker: Magda DE CARLI\, Head of Unit\, European Research Area and Country Intelligence\, DG Research and Innovation\, European Commission\, Karel Haegeman\, Joint Research Centre\, Sevilla (ES) \nA selection of four territorial case studies from Widening Countries and Lagging Regions will focus on reflections on the key requirements for urban transitions: the particular conditions\, the difficulties\, which support activities would be beneficial (R&I support\, networks\, funding\, etc.)  More concretely\, the session will focus on the following questions: \n\n\n\nHow to mobilise cities and urban actors for urban transitions? How to connect them to other regions/cities? Which benefits\, conditions and requirements of stakeholder engagement do exist in Widening Countries?\nHow to mobilise national R&I programmes to engage transnationally? What are barriers and opportunities? What are the benefits\, conditions and requirements of funding bodies to join transnational programmes and partnerships?\nWhat are the benefits\, conditions and requirements of policy support measures? How can RIS3 implementation at regional and city level be supported through transregional cooperation\, transnational ideation (entrepreneurial discovery) and project development (in development labs)?\n\n\n\nTo this end\, cases from 4 different territories will be presented: \n16:40   Targeted support to RIS3 implementation in the city of Bucharest and Ilfov region (JRC STRIVE in collaboration with the European Parliament and DG REGIO)\nSpeaker: Catalina Udrea\, Regional Development Agency\, Bucharest – Ilfov\, Planning Department \n16:50   JPI Urban Europe’s approach to Widening Countries and build capacities for urban transitions in science and policy (EXPAND II project)\nSpeaker: Natalia SA.

SUMMARY:Webinar Urban Lunch Talk #6: From Project Partners to Synergy Soulmates
DESCRIPTION:EDIT: The recording is available on our Youtube channel! \nWhat if integrated approaches and cross-fertilization of issues were made key in urban transformation? How can public authorities and research actors together break out of silos-thinking\, and maximize the outcome for the innovation ecosystem that they are part of? What added values are shaped when projects and their partners work synergy effects? For whom\, how? The recording is available on our Youtube channel! \n\nWelcome to a webinar about using integrated approaches as a key in urban transformation. We will discuss how for example city authorities can partner in ways that has long term and cross-cutting impact on the state of the city. We look into how integrating a wide range of projects and issues can create valuable synergy effects\, both between projects and between projects and their surrounding environments and stakeholders. \nUrban transitions and sustainable urban development involve many different (sub)targets\, which tend to result in strategies or actions pursued in parallel or disconnected from each other. While some targets support each other\, others conflict across administrative departments\, sectors\, or societal groups. The global achievements of the UN Agenda 2030 SDGs\, and the implementation of the Paris Agreement raise several questions on ways of organizing and operating in order to reach targets on time. Both agendas serve a strong urban dimension and assert that ideally\, urban synergetics should underpin liveable and just cities. \nMeet…\n\nJoe Ravetz is Co-Director of the Collaboratory for Urban Resilience & Energy at the Manchester Urban Institute\, University of Manchester.  He has pioneered the art of strategic thinking for sustainable cities and regions\, which brings together environment-climate policy\, urban planning and design\, new economics and governance\, innovation and futures studies\, systems thinking and complexity science. With a background as an architect\, planner and development manager\, he is also a creative graphic facilitator and foresight trainer. Joe works with the LOOPER Living Labs which serve as new models for experimental design and innovation at the urban and community level.

SUMMARY:Making Cities Work Conference
DESCRIPTION:Making Cities Work is a series of events\, from 6-11 September 2019\, aimed at contributing to new ways of thinking about the urban economy. \nHow can alliances of policy makers\, citizens\, entrepreneurs and civil society organisations contribute to a more social and sustainable economy? How can we counter the socio-economic polarisation within European cities and regions and\, as a matter of course\, integrate climate protection measures and practices into economic practices?  How can innovation be more inclusive? \nCosmopolis – Center of Urban Research\, Building Brussels and Cities of Making present the Foundational Economy and a well-founded vision of what 21st century cities should be manufacturing within the socio-ecological transition of the urban economy. \nThe Making Cities Work days will end with the JPI Urban Europe financed project Cities of Making final event on the 11th of September. \nTopics:\nFoundational Economy\nThe foundational economy covers those branches of the economy that provide the infrastructures and services of everyday life. These include the universal basic goods and services that every citizen needs\, such as food\, housing\, utilities. As such\, productive and related sectors such as food\, logistics\, construction\, health care and various other sectors deserve a renewed attention from scholars and policy makers alike. \nUrban Manufacturing\nManufacturing – the transformation at scale of physical goods through labour or technology – has traditionally concentrated around cities.  Only recently\, as many European cities find themselves with a dwindeling manufacturing sector\, are questions being asked about what kinds of manufacturing needs cities and what city needs are answered by manufacturing. \nRead more about the events\, register and find the agenda here.

SUMMARY:AESOP Annual Congress 2019
DESCRIPTION:The annual congresses are a wide platform of exchange in the fields of research\, education and practice in planning. This year\, the congress invites scholars and practitioners to reflect on the theme Planning for Transition.\n  \nContemporary cities and territories face significant challenges – natural disasters due to climate change impacts\, ecological crises\, growing socio-economic unrest\, global migration\, political rifts including a rise of right wing factions\, ambitious public works and mega-projects – all of which require new capacities in dealing with such individual and multiple groupings of such challenging and profound changes. \nThe congress invites scholars and practitioners to present and discuss case-studies of cities and projects that have engaged in meeting challenging situations – supporting transitions in urban contexts. Specifically\, it is aimed at offering an understanding of the forms of knowledge\, concepts\, tools\, and skills needed to plan and address transition. Furthermore\, it seeks to explore whether (and how) managing such changes has brought any overall reconsideration of the city design model and towards more general institutional reconfigurations. \nThe LOOPER consortium will be hosting a special session during the event with the topic of learning loops in co-creation to improve public spaces in cities focusing on the use of participatory sensing to identify problems and online and offline participation tools for co-creation in multiple domains (transport\, air pollution\, urban design). \n  \nRead more and register here

SUMMARY:Webinar: Urban Lunch Talk #5  Towards Positive Energy Districts  – Defining a framework
DESCRIPTION:Discussions on defining a PED framework are very much in focus\, since there are several European-wide approaches towards the topic (as can be seen in the Booklet of Positive Energy Districts in Europe). A PED framework needs to cover cities’ actual needs and challenges\, deal with conflicting targets\, be precise enough to set up clear implementation strategies and at the same time be wide enough to include different local or regional pre-conditions for PEDs across the continent. Last but not least: How does it relate to integrated urban strategies or climate targets? \nThe Urban Lunch Talk provides an overview of approaches and encourages participants to engage in a discussion on a PED framework. \nMODERATOR:\nMargit Noll\, Chair of MB JPI Urban Europe/FFG\nPANELLISTS:\nHans-Günther Schwarz\, Chair of SET Plan Action 3.2/BMVIT\n\nAnnemie Wyckmans\, Chair of EERA JPSC/NTNU\nPetra Schöfmann\, Expert Energy Center/Urban Innovation Vienna \nParticipants from anywhere in the world who will join the conversation through the chat room\, polls and Q&A sessions. \n\n\nJoin the webinar on Friday\, 7 June at 09.00-10.00 CEST by clicking here.

SUMMARY:The Smart City Guidance Package: the way foward!
DESCRIPTION:The objective of the event is to launch the Smart City Guidance Package (SCGP) by presenting the results of the work led by the Integrated Planning\, Policy and Regulations Action Cluster of the EIP-SCC in order to provide public authorities of cities and communities\, as well as non-governmental actors\, with the necessary support for planning and managing smart city projects. \nIn the initiative “From Planning to Implementation and Upscaling of Smart City Projects” cities\, industry\, NGO’s and knowledge partners collaborate on the exchange of experiences in the integrated planning and implementation of smart city projects\, and their upscaling and replication afterwards to achieve the urban transition to smart and sustainable cities on an increasing scale across Europe. \nThe Smart City Guidance Package (SCGP) wants to support this exchange so other urban stakeholders can benefit from what has already been done by others. It offers inspiration and guides urban stakeholders by bundling experiences and best practices of cities working on ambitious smart city strategies and projects. \nAgenda: The Smart City Guidance Package\nRegister here
