Governance Strategies for Cooling Cities: Cases of Athens and Istanbul

By GEF

About

This research focuses specifically on improving the understanding of the capabilities and needs that cities have for an effective adaptation to heatwaves, which are expected to become more frequent with the increasing average global temperature while adaptation to the changing climate has many different aspects. To this end, after laying a short account of the relation between cities, climate change, and heatwaves, we will first try to assess the efforts of cooling Athens, conducted within the “100 Resilient Cities” initiative between 2014-2019. Then, drawing from the experience in Athens, we will explore the potential policies and measures relevant to the case in Istanbul and conduct a discussion on effective governance for the effective implementation of these policies.”

We will hold a meeting on Tuesday, 2nd of March, to share the topics covered in the article with our stakeholders and to discuss the responsibilities and policy proposals of municipalities and city actors to cooling cities.”

Speakers:

Cem İskender Aydın, Article author, Boğaziçi University, Institute of Environmental Sciences

The Cities as Places of Hope Project is carried out by the Green European Foundation with the support of green organizations in the following countries: Spain (Transición Verde), Catalonia (Nous Horitzons), Croatia (The Institute for Political Ecology-IPE), Belgium (Oikos), North Macedonia (Sunrise), and Turkey (Green Thought Association). The Cities as Places of Hope Project started in 2019 with a focus on progressive city networks that appear as key factors in the creation of a positive narrative about the future of Europe. Project activities that were carried out in 2020 aimed to bring together progressive and transformative trans-local city networks, to connect them and to facilitate exchange between them, ultimately contributing to the development of a positive narrative about the future of Europe.

Cities as Places of Hope Roundtable II

By GEF

Context:

About the Event:

Our roundtable aims to increase the dialogue between the actors in the city with each other and to develop a supportive, effective follow-up and participatory mechanism (network) for sustainable and green city planning.

The pandemic has had a massive impact on life in cities; during the lockdowns all around the world, we have once again been shown importance of liveable cities.

In this process, green areas that are accessible, comfortable and planned for everyone; cities accessible by bicycle and on foot; comfortable, climate-friendly and clean public transportation vehicles, city management demonstrating the existence of social support and solidarity opportunities became prominent needs for green cities.

In many cities, even if some of these opportunities are provided, they cannot be placed in a governance plan within a sustainable and standard framework. Therefore, in this event, we will evaluate the indicator standards for green cities and the capacities of city administrations with experts.

Participants:

IMM Istanbul Planning Agency, Vision 2050 and Institute Istanbul, Istanbul Statistics Office, IMM Urban Planning Department, IMM Parks and Gardens Directorate, IMM Directorate of Transportation, IMM Department of Environment

The Foresters’ Association of Turkey, Streets Belong to Us Association, Center for Spatial Justice, Right to Clean Air Platform, Istanbul City Council Working Group on Climate and Environment, Sustainable Cities Network, 350.org Turkey

Public values in smart grids (Webinar)

By GEF

About this webinar

A fully renewable electricity system is largely powered by wind and solar. These are intermittent energy sources. How do we keep supply and demand in balance? Data and artificial intelligence will play a major role in this balancing act. Smart electricity grids help adjusting supply and demand, using data on the forecasted weather, the available power storage and conversion capacity, and the willingness of companies and households to make their electricity consumption dependent on supply and price.

A smart grid is not necessarily fair, transparent, and privacy-friendly. It doesn’t necessarily allow for human control over algorithms and democratic participation. How can we integrate these public values into the design of smart grids, from local microgrids to centralised macrogrids?

The Green European Foundation, Wetenschappelijk Bureau GroenLinks, and Oikos will try to find answers to this question in a webinar. It will gather (local) politicians, practitioners, activists and members of energy cooperatives from various European countries, in a coronavirus-proof way.

The webinar will start with two presentations:

Fabian Reetz (100 prozent erneuerbar stiftung, Berlin) will explain the basics of a smart electricity grid and its importance for speeding up the transition towards a 100% renewable energy system.

Christine Milchram (Delft University of Technology) will speak about smart grids and energy justice. How can fairness, data privacy and other public values be integrated into smart grids?

The first comments to the presentations will be delivered by Yvonne van Sark, president of homeowner’s association Schoon Schip, which runs a smart microgrid in Amsterdam.

The webinar will be facilitated by Dirk Holemans (Oikos).

This is a joint event of the GEF projects A Charter for the Smart City and Cities as Places of Hope.

For a new territorial perspective – imagining post-urban alternatives (Paris)

By GEF

Event background

This event is part of the transnational project Cities as Places of Hope in the European Union which explores progressive city networks and their potential to foster real change – may it be on food, energy or migration policies. Cities are organising themselves increasingly in trans-local networks and are pushing the boundaries of traditional governance structures.

About the event

This conference, organised with the support of Guillaume Gontard, French Senator, and Fondation de l’Écologie Politique will delve into the subject of post-urbanism and its implications on municipal politics.

Our landscapes are undergoing major changes, first and foremost the concentration of human settlement in major metropolitan areas. Promoted by governments for decades, these concentrations and densities appear less and less ecologically habitable, sociologically fair, economically viable and democratically constituted. In response to this socio-ecological excess, a different territorial perspective opens up, initiated by alternatives that offer other places
to live and forms of life, more respectful relationships to environment and other living beings, forms of cooperative economies and more functional direct forms of political action.

Such ideas and practices can highlight new paths towards a ecological, post-urban society.

Draft Programme

13:30 Registration

14:00 Opening – Guillaume Gontard, French Senator, and Alice Canabate, Vice-president of Fondation de l’Écologie Politique

Global Trends, Local Challenges: The Green Answers (El Prat de Llobregat)

By GEF

Event background

Despite increasing divisions and the rise of right-wing forces on the European and national scenes, many European cities are pursuing a progressive, positive and transnationally networked vision.

Cities are organising themselves increasingly in trans-local networks, such as Energy Cities, Fearless Cities, and Food Cities. As such, this type of governance is becoming all the more relevant at a transnational level in Europe. To this end, this upcoming GEF conference will look at global issues, how they translate into local challenges but also what the local Green answers to these challenges are.

About the event

In the framework of the transnational project Cities as Places of Hope, this event will examine global trends in their local contexts and how the emerging challenges are approached on a municipal level across Europe and what can be learned from each other. To this end, the conference will bring together local green councillors from Catalonia with their counterparts from Germany, France, the Netherlands and other countries to exchange ideas and best practices.
