Welcome to the Wiki on Sustainable Just Cities!

This Wiki is an ongoing, open-ended online collaborative database and knowledge source for the Community of Practice of the [https://urban-arena.eu/ UrbanA] project. It captures the learning process of the UrbanA [https://wiki.urban-arena.eu/index.php?title=UrbanA_Community_of_Practice Community of Practice] and is an important part of UrbanA's knowledge commons. It includes a database of '''[[Database of approaches|approaches]]''' and '''[[Database of projects & initiatives|projects & initiatives]]''' to just and sustainable cities.

==A call for co-creation==
This Wiki on Sustainable Just Cities is part of a knowledge commons that serves as a resource for everyone that wants to contribute to more sustainable and just cities. It is not only for everyone to use the knowledge that is on there, but also for everyone to share their own knowledge and experience. The idea of a knowledge commons is that it is owned and governed by all of those who use it.

==About UrbanA==
[[File:4.PNG|thumb|left|275px|link=https://urban-arena.eu/people/|UrbanA Community of Practice]]
Cities play a key role in responding to the great challenges of our time. However increasing poverty and inequality, exacerbated by the recent financial and housing crises, are putting the social cohesion and resilience of European cities to the test. Much research has focused on teasing out the causes of urban social inequality and ecological unsustainability, and on understanding the connections, tensions and contradictions between the two. Research and innovation have also contributed to the development of ways to make cities more just and sustainable. Yet the need to consolidate and effectively communicate this knowledge and experience remains. UrbanA, Urban Arenas for Sustainable and Just Cities, takes up this challenge.Further information on UrbanA, a major EU-funded project on urban sustainability and justice, can be found on the project's [http://www.urban-arena.eu public website].

A central element is the '''[https://wiki.urban-arena.eu/index.php?title=UrbanA_Community_of_Practice UrbanA Community of Practice]''' (CoP). The CoP is an open network of individuals committed to taking constructive action on urban social inequality and ecological unsustainability in the ambition to create more just and sustainable cities. Read more about the CoP here: '''[https://wiki.urban-arena.eu/index.php?title=UrbanA_Community_of_Practice UrbanA Community of Practice]'''.

==Why this Wiki==
In order to transform our cities into more sustainable and just environments, we need actionable knowledge that is relevant and accessible to as many people as possible. Currently, too much knowledge remains fragmented and inaccessible. Through the UrbanA project, we aim to synthesize and broker existing knowledge as well as further develop and translate knowledge into action. One important way in which we do this is through the UrbanA Wiki Database on Sustainable Just Cities.

A Wiki is a decentralized approach to knowledge co-creation and information sharing. The ‘wisdom of the crowd’ is in the lead (instead of top-down development by a central manager). It supports inclusive, co-creative, open access and open source approaches to knowledge generation.

This wiki captures this learning process and provides a shared workspace for the UrbanA [https://urban-arena.eu/people/community-of-practice/ Community of Practice]. The database initially consists of a set of approaches and research methods perceived particularly useful with linking urban sustainability and justice.

Cities play a key role in responding to the great challenges of our time.

Yet the need to consolidate and effectively communicate this knowledge and experience remains. UrbanA, Urban Arenas for Sustainable and Just Cities, takes up this challenge.

Further information on UrbanA, a major EU-funded project on urban sustainability and justice, can be found on the project's [http://www.urban-arena.eu public website].

==Mapping of existing approaches==
The starting point for UrbanA’s three-year journey is the mapping of existing approaches to tackling unsustainability and injustice in cities. This mapping is initially based on knowledge and insights generated in previous EU-funded projects and will be enriched by the experience of city-makers. In this ways the mapping is not only a matter of gathering data, but also of engaging people and of acknowledging them for their prior and ongoing efforts. The aim is not simply to create a comprehensive database but rather to serve the creative learning process envisioned for the UrbanA’s Arena events, which bring together European city-makers and city-thinkers. The database thus functions as a shared resource and knowledge base.
