Among the topics that POLIS and Pieter Faber, the Chair of the SMC platform from the city of Emmen (the Netherlands), have proposed are the Recovery and Resilience Facility; Urban nodes and the role of SMCs; SMCs, parking management and city’s attractiveness. https://www.polisnetwork.eu/event/small-and-medium-sized-city-platform-meeting/
Towards Comprehensive Planning: Global Cities in Conversation
Friday, May 21, 2021, 1-2PM Many New Yorkers are seeking a more coordinated and collaborative approach to land use planning in the city, while others are comfortable with the status quo or feel New York is too complex for a comprehensive plan. New York City Council Speaker Johnson’s proposal for a new comprehensive planning framework outlined in Intro 2186 and the accompanying report, Planning Together: A New Comprehensive Planning Framework for New York City, comes at the end of the de Blasio administration and on the cusp of upcoming elections that will bring significant changes to every level of government. But what is a “comprehensive plan” and how have they been implemented in other cities? Join MAS for a free virtual conversation examining the evolution of the comprehensive plan from a planning exercise to a dynamic governance framework. This discussion will illuminate best practices for bringing communities into the process early and often, and how comprehensive plans can assist in adapting to climate change, direct growth, and prioritize investments to address longstanding disparities between people and places. Read more about our panelists below. https://www.mas.org/events/towards-comprehensive-planning-global-cities-in-conversation/

Decarbonising EU Cities via Hydrogen
European Green Week Partner Event - online 3 June 2021, 11:00 - 12:00 Pollution affects us through the air we breathe, the water we drink, or the soil in which we grow our food. It is a major environmental cause of multiple mental and physical illnesses and premature deaths, especially among children, people with certain medical conditions, and the elderly. This particularly concerns cities in which dense space and high numbers of cars, transportation, heating and cooling systems add to emission and pollution levels. In addition, they are site to a number of fossil fuel based temporary and transportable power gensets. https://iclei-europe.org/calendar/?c=search&uid=D6b3Bmox
