UrbanA, Arenas for Sustainable and Just Cities

UrbanA is a 3-year project that aims to synthesize and broker knowledge for sustainable and just cities generated by prior research and innovation projects and translate this knowledge into action. It includes the organizing of 4 co-creative spaces, known as Arena events, during the course of the project. City-makers and city-thinkers from across Europe and across disciplines will come together to connect with one another, to reflect on the urban knowledge that research projects have already identified, and to generate promising approaches to the creation of sustainable, inclusive and thriving cities. This process aims to facilitate interaction among diverse participants and to empower them to apply their knowledge locally. Ultimately the project will produce a package of policy solutions aimed at influencing policies in favour of sustainable and just cities.
