As a part of the JPI Urban Europe Pilot Call I, the CASUAL Project was active between 2013-2016. The project produced a synthesis report and four policy briefs which were released mid 2016. As a final activity within the CASUAL project two sessions at the CORP 2016 conference in Hamburg were organised.

Synthesis report:

>> CASUAL – Co-creating Attractive and Sustainable Urban Areas and Lifestyles Synthesis Report

Policy briefs:

>> Urban policies for sustainable living and consumption

>> Transit-oriented development and sustainable urban planning

>> Experiments and innovations in ‘soft’ urban planning: urban living labs

>> Planning for sustainable lifestyles: political limitations and possibilities

Abstract

CASUAL investigates how to promote sustainable living and consumption patterns by including citizen and consumer perspectives in the governance of urban areas. New forms of inclusive urban governance are explored by looking at collectively organised initiatives outside formal planning procedures as models for the future. In addition, planning for sustainable mobility is investigated through a focus on so called transit-oriented-development.
