Creating attractive cities webinar
Wednesday 30 June 2021, 09:00 to 12:30 Online, Europe-wide The necessity of creating attractive cities is recognised more and more. Attractive cities are nice places to live in, they make people happy, and they contribute to quality of life, health, the environment, and the economy. At the same time, attractiveness is ‘quite’ subjective – what is perceived as attractive by some people is perceived as unattractive by others. Yet there are some general findings. Green, open and well-maintained public spaces are perceived as attractive. What is perceived as unattractive are congested cities and motorised vehicles that emit noise and fumes, creating stressful traffic conditions. https://civitas.eu/events/civitas-online-training-creating-attractive-cities

Eurocities 2021 Leipzig will take place from 3 to 5 November.
Recovery is urgent. In cities, this is clearer than anywhere else. Entire sectors have been deeply affected by the pandemic. To meet the ambitious EU targets for digital transformation, emissions and poverty reduction, the recovery budget must be invested speedily and strategically. Cities ability to transform, become more resilient, modernise governance and support surrounding areas is increasingly in the spotlight. The European Green Deal can only succeed with cities fully on board. Consequently, the EU has ramped up the financial opportunities for sustainable urban development. In all sectors, there is an EU programme that offers collaboration with cities. This contrasts with the limited involvement of cities at strategic level in the EU. The renewed Leipzig Charter adopted under the German EU Presidency in 2020 made the case for the transformative power of cities. The Conference on the Future of Europe in May 2021 will open the debate about collaboration between levels of government for an effective and democratic recovery. To address the lessons of the crisis and look towards a green, digital and just recovery, Eurocities 2021 Leipzig will examine how the EU’s strategic goals are translated and implemented in cities. https://eurocities.eu/latest/eurocities-2021-leipzig-the-power-of-cities-transforming-society/
International Conference on Transport and Smart Cities 2021
While some studies indicate that living standards can be better in urban areas compared to villages, there are significant societal challenges that are exacerbated by large population growth in urban areas that have constrained resources, such as road networks, public transport, energy, water, waste management and healthcare. The first International Conference on Transport and Smart Cities gathers researchers from around the world to share the latest advances in the field of smart cities, with a focus on transportation. The solutions developed by industry and research aim to address the challenges posed by the increasing population in cities.
Learning from cities: Gender policy in covid times webinar This webinar will explore how cities have integrated gender strategies during the COVID-19 response and the impact on gender equality over the past year and a half. Many cities have transformed the COVID-19 challenge into an opportunity, fighting to promote quality basic services in very complex situations. The pandemic has disproportionally affected women, as enforced lockdown measures have led to school closures, impact on the labour market, increase of unpaid care work and reported cases of violence against women. 2nd UCLG World Forum of Intermediary Cities This Forum will be an opportunity to raise the challenges that Intermediary Cities have faced during the pandemic and the key principles, recommendations and solutions that can commonly help them build a Green and Resilient Recovery, while drawing the lines for the new post-COVID era. Webinar - New Mobilities: Smart Planning for Emerging Transportation Technologies
Thursday, June 24, at 1:00 EDT Participants of this live webinar are eligible for 1.5 AICP CM credits. Join us as Todd Litman discusses 12 emerging transportation modes and services that are likely to significantly affect our lives as they become more commonplace.

Take Care of your City: INTA44 Session 1
Writing the urban narrative after the Covid19 Only one week left to register for the first session of the INTA44 congress, which will be held entirely in English. The session will last one afternoon (from 2pm to 6pm CET), it will be dedicated to health issues in the city and the way they are relevant to every aspect of urban development. Three speakers will introduce the discussions for 1h30, before a general debate that will bring together elected officials and professionals. The aim of this formula is to get to the bottom of things, not overlook them. https://inta-aivn.org/en/inta44/home
Decarb City Pipes 2050 webinar
Spatial Planning: Which Heat Supply Technologies For Which District? In the framework of the Decarb City Pipes 2050 project, Energy Cities organises discussions every last Friday of the month on specific topics linked to the decarbonisation of the heating and cooling sector. These sessions will allow exchanges and capitalisation of learnings and know-how between the partner cities (Bilbao, Bratislava, Dublin, Munich, Rotterdam, Vienna and Winterthur) and a limited number of external cities. Experts, such as the advisory board members, will also be invited to share their insights. This session will focus on the importance of spatial planning. Heat planning towards a decarbonised future requires a spatial approach: availability of heat sources in the city, spatial density of the heat demand and urban development determine the possible solutions to supply heat for buildings. However, calculating which solutions are more cost-effective in which districts (eg. heat pumps vs. district heating) is not an easy task. https://energy-cities.eu/event/data-management-best-practices-and-challenges-for-heat-planning/
Making the EU climate neutral by 2050: how to translate climate neutrality into local strategies? To meet the EU’s ambition to become climate neutral by 2050, the European Union and Member States will need to rely on cities and their capacity for mobilization and innovation. The local strategies to translate climate neutrality are different from one territory to another. During this webinar, the SCOT Grand Douaisis in France will explain how they integrate the notion of sufficiency at the core of their local strategy. They will also give their feedback on how they raise awareness on energy and climate issue through a serious game. The city of Groningen will also showcase how they plan to become carbon-neutral by 2035 and will share key elements on how to effectively include citizens in the energy transition plans.
Webinar: Tools for Mapping Smart and Walkable Locations
Thursday, June 17, at 1:00 p.m. EDT Participants of this live webinar are eligible for 1.5 AICP CM credits. The Smart Location Database is a nationwide data resource for measuring location efficiency.

INTA44 Take care of your city - virtual event
Faced with the challenges of health and climate, INTA44 questions the necessary transformations, if not the ruptures, that we are witnessing rather than acting upon. This involves not only environmental health, but also the relationship between housing and work, transport and new forms of mobility, construction and new ways of living, all of which are considered to be necessary factors for the vitality and well-being of a city. https://inta-aivn.org/en/inta44/home

Webinar: The Potential of the Public Realm
City life doesn’t stop at the door of a building. Our waterfronts, parks, plazas, streets, and sidewalks are some of New York’s largest public assets. Over the last 16 months, as many New Yorkers have increasingly relied on the public realm, it’s never been more evident that safe, accessible open space is not equitably distributed across neighborhoods. In response, we have seen a creative expansion of street use through the City’s Open Culture program and the Department of Transportation’s Open Streets and Open Restaurants programs. These ideas and others have inspired many to reimagine the potential of the public realm to better serve New Yorkers. Join Council Member Keith Powers and MAS’s Livable Neighborhoods Program for a free, virtual program about two community proposals to expand and better manage open space for a more livable, equitable city: 06/16/21, 5-6PM Location: Zoom https://www.mas.org/events/lnp-presents-the-potential-of-the-public-realm/
