Across Europe there is an inspiring array of experimentation with local governance arrangements for sustainable and just cities.

What is ''governance?'' It can be broadly understood as all formal and informal political processes (involving state and non-state actors) that lead to collective action. (Watch us explain this more in the video to the right).

On this database, you will find results of a study on fruitful governance interventions for sustainable and just cities.

== Enabling Governance Arrangements ==

Enabling governance arrangements are combinations of actor constellations and institutional settings that have proven a potential to support urban governance towards just and sustainable cities in several cases of real-world Governance Interventions.

Looking at a selection of ten situated governance interventions for sustainable and just cities (as summarized in our scenarios), we asked:

''What key elements of governance arrangements enabled those interventions to come to fruition?''

You can find background information on ten original, real-world governance interventions, our empirical basis, in our database of rich descriptions (see next section below).

You will see references to these interventions in the form of brief examples to illustrate each enabling governance arrangement. The question numbers accompanying the examples, like ''“(Q18)”'', will lead you to the pertinent section of the respective description of a real world governance intervention.

While these enabling governance arrangements show a potential applicability in several different contexts, it is not claimed that these arrangements will produce positive outcomes in all contexts or are the sole factors for bringing interventions to fruition. Rather, they need to be applied cautiously and adapted to local conditions.

When clicking on one of the illustrations of six Enabling Governance Arrangements listed below, you will find a short description as well as links to the real world governance experiments which have inspired us to synthesize these potentially 'enabling governance arrangements'.

== Governance interventions ==

We have selected ten real-word experiments (mostly within EU-funded projects) and developed '''detailed descriptions''' which detail their governance variables and processes. We have also created a brief '''governance scenario''' per case studied. These scenarios share general insights in a narrative style, and we hope that they pique your interest and provide inspiration about what could be possible in your city!

We stress that the interventions presented below (the detailed descriptions and the corresponding scenarios) - '''are not entirely “successful interventions”'''. Rather, they are regarded as '''general inspiration''' and real-world cases for testing out how to enable translocal learning.

'''Example of a partially successful governance intervention'''

In addition to our 10 fruitful governance interventions for sustainability and justice in cities (see above), we developed a [[Public-private partnerships for sustainability infrastructure in Athens| rich description]] and a [[ Bringing sustainable infrastructure - carefully engaging in public-private partnerships|scenario]] of a governance intervention that demonstrates possible pitfalls when developing sustainable infrastructure in a public-private partnership. This intervention extracted from a south-eastern European setting outlines the partial success of governance interventions and encourages caution about the externalities of public-private partnerships, especially in the context of austerity that may increase in the post-COVID era.

Across Europe there is an inspiring array of experimentation with local governance arrangements for sustainable and just cities.

What is ''governance?'' It can be broadly understood as all formal and informal political processes (involving state and non-state actors) that lead to collective action.

On this database, you will find results of a study on fruitful governance interventions for sustainable and just cities.

== Enabling governance arrangements ==

Enabling governance arrangements are combinations of actor constellations and institutional settings that have proven a potential to support urban governance towards just and sustainable cities in several cases of real-world Governance Interventions.

Looking at a selection of ten situated governance interventions for sustainable and just cities (as summarized in our scenarios), we asked:

''What key elements of governance arrangements enabled those interventions to come to fruition?''

You can find background information on ten original, real-world governance interventions, our empirical basis, in our database of rich descriptions (see next section below).

You will see references to these interventions in the form of brief examples to illustrate each enabling governance arrangement. The question numbers accompanying the examples, like ''“(Q18)”'', will lead you to the pertinent section of the respective description of a real world governance intervention.

While these enabling governance arrangements show a potential applicability in several different contexts, it is not claimed that these arrangements will produce positive outcomes in all contexts or are the sole factors for bringing interventions to fruition. Rather, they need to be applied cautiously and adapted to local conditions.

When clicking on one of the 6 EGA illustrations listed below, you will find a short description as well as links to the real world governance experiments which have inspired us to synthesize these potentially 'enabling governance arrangements'.

'''Example of a partially successful governance intervention'''

In addition to our 10 fruitful governance interventions for sustainability and justice in cities (see above), we developed a [[Public-private partnerships for sustainability infrastructure in Athens| rich description]] and a [[ Bringing sustainable infrastructure - carefully engaging in public-private partnerships|scenario]] of a governance intervention that demonstrates possible pitfalls when developing sustainable infrastructure in a public-private partnership. This intervention extracted from a south-eastern European setting outlines the partial success of governance interventions and encourages caution about the externalities of public-private partnerships, especially in the context of austerity that may increase in the post-COVID era.

Across Europe there is an inspiring array of experimentation with local governance arrangements for sustainable and just cities.

What is ''governance?'' It can be broadly understood as all formal and informal political processes (involving state and non-state actors) that lead to collective action.

On this database, you will find results of a study on fruitful governance interventions for sustainable and just cities.

== Enabling governance arrangements ==

Enabling governance arrangements are combinations of actor constellations and institutional settings that have proven a potential to support urban governance towards just and sustainable cities in several cases of real-world Governance Interventions.

Looking at a selection of ten situated governance interventions for sustainable and just cities (as summarized in our scenarios), we asked:

''What key elements of governance arrangements enabled those interventions to come to fruition?''

You can find background information on ten original, real-world governance interventions, our empirical basis, in our database of rich descriptions (see next section below).

You will see references to these interventions in the form of brief examples to illustrate each enabling governance arrangement. The question numbers accompanying the examples, like ''“(Q18)”'', will lead you to the pertinent section of the respective description of a real world governance intervention.

We assume that the enabling governance arrangements were aimed at sustainable and just outcomes, which makes it likely that they can be useful for interventions with similar goals in other instances as well. However, we do not claim that these enabling governance arrangements are the sole factors for bringing interventions to fruition, as the latter will always be embedded in local contexts with place-based factors being important as well.

When clicking on one of the 6 EGA illustrations listed below, you will find a short description as well as links to the real world governance experiments which have inspired us to synthesize these potentially 'enabling governance arrangements'.

D) Alternative Metrics

2020-07-08T20:19:24Z

Philipp Spaeth:

== The ambition ==

This governance ambition is about promoting (new) metrics to guide urban development and policies towards well being and sustainability (rather than classic economic metrics like GDP).

== Relation to previous work in UrbanA ==

This governance ambition relates to the following approaches:
*[[Beyond GDP indicators]]. This approach refers to alternative economic indicators that do not place economic growth as the most important variable in assessing a country's progress. Beyond GDP indicators are inclusive of other aspects of development, such as, environmental and social.
*[[Financial practices and instruments]]. This approach tackles unsustainability and injustice in cities from a financing perspective. From this perspective the distribution of resources and the way our economic system is organized is the starting point to think of just and sustainable cities.

It addresses the following driver of injustice:
* [[Unquestioned Neoliberal growth and austerity urbanism]]. This driver refers to processes of privatization, commercialization, budget cuts and state withdrawal from various sectors and how they can undermine urban sustainability, guided by an ideology of unfettered economic growth which often aligns with austerity policies.

== How could it work? ==

The ways in which we measure things influences problem framings and consequently our responses. If alliances could be forged to promote metrics of well-being and justice and to background or phase out metrics of growth and competitiveness, different measures and expenditures would become imaginable and justifiable than in the current paradigm of competition.

== See examples ==

Check out the [http://www.bcnuej.org/projects/greenlulus/| GREENLULUS project] developing a "Fair Urban Greening Index".

== Question ==

Do we need alternative metrics to guide urban policy development, which could focus on well-beeing and the affordability of housing rather than on GDP growth, employment and investments?

C) Engaging Inhabitants

2020-07-08T20:18:44Z

Philipp Spaeth:

== The ambition ==

This governance ambition aims at enabling effective participation oh inhabitants in urban development.

== Relation to previous work in UrbanA ==

This governance ambition addresses the following driver of injustice:
* [[Limited citizen participation in urban planning]]. This driver refers to the limited involvement and engagement of citizens and citizens’ initiatives in decision-making around the planning, design, implementation and/or evaluation of urban sustainability-oriented interventions.

== How could it work? ==

Engaging inhabitants could consist of making visible people's justice concerns, shifting primary attention to vulnerable groups; diversifying participation options (digital, local, specific groups), enabling participation of handicapped groups (timing, language, compensation...) and/or normalizing citizen juries, plebiscites etc.

== See examples ==

Take a look at the detailed [[Barcelona Superblocks case]].

Check out the brief governance scenario [[Inviting citizens to a transformation of street space - flexibly dealing with resistance]].

== Question ==

How can inhabitants be better enabled to participate in deliberations about the most urgent objectives and measures of urban development?

B) Bridging Institutional Logics

2020-07-08T20:18:17Z

Philipp Spaeth:

== The ambition ==

This governance ambition is about enabling different urban actors, from governments, civil society or enterprises to better co-operate for sustainability and justice in their cities.

== Relation to previous work in UrbanA ==

This governance ambition relates to the following approach:
*[[Co-learning and knowledge brokerage]]. It is an approach implemented in cities with the objective to facilitate the circulation of ideas, understandings and cutting-edge research between a diverse variety of actors in society.

It aims to address the following drivers of injustice:
*[[Unfit institutional structures]]. This driver refers to those aspects or functions of organizations, public offices, administrations and authorities that deal with urban governance and stand in the way of achieving just outcomes in urban sustainability.
*[[Lack of effective knowledge brokerage and stewardship opportunities]]. This driver refers to the ways in which (access to) useful information and know-how around sustainable urban interventions and their benefits is not shared effectively or equally among disciplines, sectors or social groups, and thus constrain the potential for
both sustainability and justice.
*[[Weak(ened) civil society]]. This driver refers to the ways in which collective civic groups that share common interests (other than the state, the market, or the family) are either not constituted and impactful enough to influence and benefit from sustainability efforts or are indeed constrained by interventions that carry sustainability objectives.

== How could it work? ==

bridging institutional logics could consist of creating organizational structures and rules that support cooperation across different logics of governments, citizens or enterprises.

For instance, knowledge brokerages could be used to foster mutual understanding or helping actors or social groups to identify a jointly held concern. Such structures or rules could try to ensure that policies are developed jointly.

== Check out examples ==

Take a look at the detailed [[Vauban neighborhood case]].

Check out the brief governance scenario called [[Envisioning and co-creating sustainable urban neighborhoods by reaching across institutional boundaries]].

== Question ==

How can people from governments, civil society and enterprises be enabled to better co-operate for sustainability and justice in their cities?

A) Policy Integration

2020-07-08T20:17:11Z

Philipp Spaeth:

== The ambition ==

This governance ambition aims at dealing with sustainability and justice challenges in a more integrative and comprehensive way (rather than through compartmentalized policies and organizations.

== Relation to previous work in UrbanA ==

This governance ambition relates to the approach:
* [[Co-learning and knowledge brokerage]]. This is an approach implemented in cities with the objective to facilitate the circulation of ideas, understandings and cutting-edge research between a diverse variety of actors in society.

It aims to addresses the following driver of injustice:
* [[Unfit institutional structures]]. This driver refers to those aspects or functions of organizations, public offices, administrations and authorities that deal with urban governance and stand in the way of achieving just outcomes in urban sustainability.

== How could it work ? ==

Policy integration could consist of creating integrative organization and rules as well as especially including and include especially questions of justice in urban sustainability planning and policy making.

== Check out examples ==

Take a look at the detailed [[Augustenborg case]].

Check out the brief governance scenario called [[Overcoming compartmentalization in urban regeneration projects for inclusive sustainability and resilience]].

== Question ==

How can sustainability and justice challenges be dealt with in a more integrative and comprehensive way - rather than by (sectoraly) compartmentalized policies and organizations?

Database of governance arrangements

2020-07-08T20:14:49Z

Philipp Spaeth:

In many places across Europe, people experiment with local governance arrangements that are favorable to justice and sustainability. Based on real word experiments (mostly within EU-funded projects), we developed 11 '''rich descriptions''' that capture the crucial variables enabling this intervention to successfully emerge. Covering a large variety of sectors i.e. mobility, energy, food or housing as well as governance modes i.e. government-led, hybrid or citizen-led, these 11 rich descriptions inform about sustainable and just governance arrangements. They have furthermore been translated into [[database of governance scenarios|brief governance scenarios]] that aim to be inspirational.

== Detailed descriptions of governance interventions, sorted according to their contribution to governance ambitions ==

The broad topic of urban governance arrangements for sustainability and justice can be disaggregated into more specific ambitions. Often discussed are the following:

[[A) Policy Integration]]

[[B) Bridging Institutional Logics]]

[[C) Engaging Inhabitants]]

[[D) Alternative Metrics]]

We have discussed how these ambitions are tentatively realized in promising experiments at a [https://urban-arena.eu/event/urbana-community-conversation-governance-tools/ Community Conversation] on '''June 23rd, 2020'''. Documentation of the event is available on the [https://medium.com/urban-arenas-for-sustainable-and-just-cities/how-governance-arrangements-foster-both-urban-sustainability-and-justice-be7ab3786b46 UrbanA blog].

When clicking on one of the ambitions A) - D) above, you will find a list of the detailed descriptions of illustrating governance interventions.

Which further ambitions do you consider crucial on the way towards governance for sustainability AND justice in cities?
And what other examples do you know where these ambitions have been guiding the setting up of arrangements for justice oriented sustainability governance?

Please share your suggestions with us, e.g. via email to [[User:Philipp Spaeth|Philipp Spaeth]].
Please also contribue to the development of further case studies and governance scenarios on this wiki and join the [[UrbanA Community of Practice]].

== Brief governance scenarios, sorted according to sectors ==

Governance arrangements for sustainability and justice in cities differ from sector to sector due to the specific nature of services provided in these sectors.
We describe in detail some governance arrangements that have been developed in the following sectors:

[[A) urban development/regeneration]]

[[B) housing]]

[[C) social policies]]

[[D) mobility]]

[[E) energy]]

[[F) food]]

When clicking on one of the sectors A) - F) above, you will find a list of detailed descriptions of governance interventions developed mainly within this sector.

And what other examples of justice oriented sustainability governance in these sectors do you know?

Please share your suggestions with us, e.g. via email to [[User:Philipp Spaeth|Philipp Spaeth]].

In particular, if you are interested in how such an intervention was developed in a real urban context, please follow the link at the end of the scenario which will take you to a detailed description of the real world experiment (mostly within EU-funded projects) that the scenario was built upon in our [[Database of governance interventions|rich descriptions]] database.

== Brief governance scenarios, sorted according to their contribution to governance ambitions ==

The broad topic of urban governance arrangements for sustainability and justice can be disaggregated into more specific ambitions. Often discussed are the following:

[[A) Policy Integration]]

[[B) Bridging Institutional Logics]]

[[C) Engaging Inhabitants]]

[[D) Alternative Metrics]]

We have discussed how these ambitions are tentatively realized in promising experiments at a [https://urban-arena.eu/event/urbana-community-conversation-governance-tools/ Community Conversation] on '''June 23rd, 2020'''.

== Brief governance scenarios, sorted according to dominant governance modes ==

Some governance arrangements for sustainability and justice in cities are initiated by local governments, while others are initiated by social movements or even enterprises. We present here some governance scenarios that are driven primarily by governmental actors, civil society or hybrid arrangements:

[[A) Government led]]

[[B) Civil society driven]]

[[C) Hybrid arrangements]]

Philipp Spaeth: /* Detailed descriptions of governance interventions, sorted according to their contribution to governance ambitions */

In many places across Europe, people experiment with local governance arrangements that are favorable to justice and sustainability. Based on real word experiments (mostly within EU-funded projects), we developed 11 '''rich descriptions''' that capture the crucial variables enabling this intervention to successfully emerge. Covering a large variety of sectors i.e. mobility, energy, food or housing as well as governance modes i.e. government-led, hybrid or citizen-led, these 11 rich descriptions inform about sustainable and just governance arrangements. They have furthermore been translated into [[database of governance scenarios|brief governance scenarios]] that aim to be inspirational.

== Detailed descriptions of governance interventions, sorted according to their contribution to governance ambitions ==

The broad topic of urban governance arrangements for sustainability and justice can be disaggregated into more specific ambitions. Often discussed are the following:

[[A) Policy Integration]]

[[B) Bridging Institutional Logics]]

[[C) Engaging Inhabitants]]

[[D) Alternative Metrics]]

We have discussed how these ambitions are tentatively realized in promising experiments at a [https://urban-arena.eu/event/urbana-community-conversation-governance-tools/ Community Conversation] on '''June 23rd, 2020'''. Documentation of the event is available on the [https://medium.com/urban-arenas-for-sustainable-and-just-cities/how-governance-arrangements-foster-both-urban-sustainability-and-justice-be7ab3786b46 UrbanA blog].

When clicking on one of the ambitions A) - D) above, you will find a list of the detailed descriptions of illustrating governance interventions.

Which further ambitions do you consider crucial on the way towards governance for sustainability AND justice in cities?
And what other examples do you know where these ambitions have been guiding the setting up of arrangements for justice oriented sustainability governance?

Please share your suggestions with us, e.g. via [[User:Philipp Spaeth|Philipp Spaeth]].
Please also contribue to the development of further case studies and governance scenarios on this wiki and join the [[UrbanA Community of Practice]].

== Brief governance scenarios, sorted according to sectors ==

Governance arrangements for sustainability and justice in cities differ from sector to sector due to the specific nature of services provided in these sectors.
We describe in detail some governance arrangements that have been developed in the following sectors:

[[A) urban development/regeneration]]

[[B) housing]]

[[C) social policies]]

[[D) mobility]]

[[E) energy]]

[[F) food]]

When clicking on one of the sectors A) - F) above, you will find a list of detailed descriptions of governance interventions developed mainly within this sector.

And what other examples of justice oriented sustainability governance in these sectors do you know?

Governance arrangements for sustainability and justice in cities differ from sector to sector due to the specific nature of services provided in these sectors.
We describe in detail some governance arrangements that have been developed in the following sectors:

[[A) urban development/regeneration]]

[[B) housing]]

[[C) social policies]]

[[D) mobility]]

[[E) energy]]

[[F) food]]

When clicking on one of the sectors A) - F) above, you will find a list of detailed descriptions of governance interventions developed mainly within this sector.

And what other examples of justice oriented sustainability governance in these sectors do you know?

Please share your suggestions with us, e.g. via [[User:Philipp Spaeth|Philipp Spaeth]].

== Full list of detailed descriptions ==

# [[Anti-gentrification resistances case]]
# [[Foodsharing case]]
# [[Community Land Trust case]]
# [[Barcelona Superblocks case]]

In many places across Europe, people experiment with local governance arrangements that are favourable to justice and sustainability.

We destilled, the following, very '''brief governance scenarios''' from real world experiements which illustrate such ambitions.

They are here to inspire you and to lead you to further information.

In particular, if you are interested in how such an intervention was developed in a real urban context, please follow the link at the end of the scenario which will take you to a detailed description ot the real world experiment (mostly within EU-funded projects) that the scenario was built upon in our [[Database of governance interventions|rich descriptions]] database.

== Brief governance scenarios, sorted according to their contribution to governance ambitions ==

The broad topic of urban governance arrangements for sustainability and justice can be disaggregated into more specific ambitions. Often discussed are the following:

[[A) Policy Integration]]

[[B) Bridging Institutional Logics]]

[[C) Engaging Inhabitants]]

[[D) Alternative Metrics]]

We have discussed how these ambitions are tentatively realized in promising experiments at a [https://urban-arena.eu/event/urbana-community-conversation-governance-tools/ Community Conversation] on '''June 23rd, 2020'''. Documentation of the event is available on the [https://medium.com/urban-arenas-for-sustainable-and-just-cities/how-governance-arrangements-foster-both-urban-sustainability-and-justice-be7ab3786b46 UrbanA blog].

When clicking on one of the ambitions A)-D) above, you will find a list of the short scenarios that are best illustrating these ambitions.

Which further ambitions do you consider crucial on the way towards governance for sustainability AND justice in cities?
And what other examples do you know where these ambitions have been guiding the setting up of arrangements for justice oriented sustainability governance?

Please share your suggestions with us, e.g. via [[User:Philipp Spaeth|Philipp Spaeth]].

== Brief governance scenarios, sorted according to dominant governance modes ==

Some governance arrangements for sustainability and justice in cities are initiated by local governments, while others are initiated by social movements or even enterprises. We present here some governance scenarios that are driven primarily by governmental actors, civil society or hybrid arrangements:

[[A) Government led]]

[[B) Civil society driven]]

[[C) Hybrid arrangements]]

When clicking on one of the modes A) - C) above, you will find a list of the short scenarios that are best illustrating these governance modes.

Philipp Spaeth: Undo revision 2329 by Philipp Spaeth (talk)

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.

[[File:UrbanA_Logo.png|right|600px|link=https://urban-arena.eu/|UrbanA Website]]

==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.

'''You are warmly invited to edit and adapt any of the current pages, by e.g. adding examples, correcting or complementing information. And/or to add your own approaches, projects, initiatives and user profiles. Becoming a Wiki-user is every easy and quick.'''

For information on how, check out the '''[[Project:User guide|User guide]]'''. This guide includes links to tips on formatting and editing wiki pages.

==About UrbanA==

{{#ev:youtube|h2mXmYnhpqg|450|right||frame}}

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].

==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.

==Databases==
[[File:Mapping of Approaches.jpg|thumb|left|320px|link=https://urban-arena.eu/wp-content/uploads/2020/02/Zine-final-version_Optimised.pdf|Mapping of Approaches for UrbanA project during Rotterdam Arena Event]]
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 began as a set of approaches and research methods linking urban sustainability and justice. The latest addition is a set of drivers of injustice that can arise as (usually unitended) side-effects of urban sustainability efforts. Use of this wiki will connect closely with our [https://www.zotero.org/groups/2324475/urbana_library shared virtual library]. Visit the list of approaches, drivers, projects and people by following these links:

*'''[[Database of approaches]]'''

*'''[[Database of drivers of injustice]]'''

**'''[[Database of governance scenarios]]'''

**'''[[Database of governance interventions]]'''

*'''[[Database of projects & initiatives]]'''

*'''[[Database of people]]'''

The covid-19 crisis has exposed severe inequities in European urban areas while showing the fragility of an unsustainable growth-oriented economic system. The [[UrbanA_Community_of_Practice]] has collected resources that intersect the covid-19 crisis with issues of justice, sustainability and urbanization.

Philipp Spaeth:

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.

[[File:UrbanA_Logo.png|right|600px|link=https://urban-arena.eu/|UrbanA Website]]

==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.

'''You are warmly invited to edit and adapt any of the current pages, by e.g. adding examples, correcting or complementing information. And/or to add your own approaches, projects, initiatives and user profiles. Becoming a Wiki-user is every easy and quick.'''

==About UrbanA==

{{#ev:youtube|h2mXmYnhpqg|450|right||frame}}

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].

==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 began as a set of approaches and research methods linking urban sustainability and justice. The latest addition is a set of drivers of injustice that can arise as (usually unitended) side-effects of urban sustainability efforts.

The covid-19 crisis has exposed severe inequities in European urban areas while showing the fragility of an unsustainable growth-oriented economic system. The [[UrbanA_Community_of_Practice]] has collected resources that intersect the covid-19 crisis with issues of justice, sustainability and urbanization.

Database of governance scenarios

2020-06-25T08:26:39Z

Philipp Spaeth:

In many places across Europe, people experiment with local governance arrangements that are favourable to justice and sustainability.
The following, very brief scenarios represent such attempts. They are here to inspire you and to lead you to further information. In particular, we are just finalizing the rich descriptions of real world experiments (mostly within EU-funded projects) from which they have been derived. If you know of other informative experiences, please add a brief scenario here or contact us [[User:Philipp Spaeth|Philipp Spaeth]]

Brief governance scenarios:

# [[Learning from successful community-based actions against gentrification]]
# [[Expanding effective practices for food rescuing and sharing among cities]]
# [[A new take on affordable housing through community owned and developed dwellings]]
# [[Inviting citizens to a transformation of street space - flexibly dealing with resistance]]
# [[Balancing long term sustainability and short-term social needs in peri-urban green space]]
# [[Envisioning and co-creating sustainable urban neighborhoods by reaching across institutional boundaries]]
# [[Bringing sustainable infrastructure to all - carefully engaging in public-private partnerships]]
# [[From electricity to empowerment, community energy growing out of the inner-city]]
# [[Overcoming compartmentalization in urban regeneration projects for inclusive sustainability and resilience]]
# [[Making local energy systems inclusively sustainable - by ourselves, with a little help by friends]]
# [[Trusting civil society and residents to co-shape regeneration projects in deprived neighborhoods]]

The broad topic of local governance arrangements for sustainability and justice can be disaggregated into more specific ambitions. Often discussed are, e.g.:

;A) How can sustainability and justice challenges be dealt with in a more integrative and comprehensive way - rather than by (sectoraly) compartmentalized policies and organizations?
:(“policy integration”)

;B) How can people from governments, civil society and enterprises be enabled to better co-operate for sustainability and justice in their cities?
:(“bridging institutional logics”)

;C) How can inhabitants be better enabled to participate in deliberations about the most urgent objectives and measures of urban development?
:(“inhabitants' involvement”)

;D) Do we need alternative metrics to guide urban policy development, which could focus on well-beeing and the affordability of housing rather than on GDP growth, employment and investments?
:(“alternative metrics”)

We have discussed how these ambitions are tentatively realized in promising experiments at a [https://urban-arena.eu/event/urbana-community-conversation-governance-tools/ Community Conversation] on '''June 23rd, 2020'''; Documentation of the event will be available soon.

Which further ambitions do you consider crucial on the way towards governance for sustainability AND justice in cities?

Philipp Spaeth: /* The next Arena */

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.

[[File:UrbanA_Logo.png|right|600px|link=https://urban-arena.eu/|UrbanA Website]]

==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.

'''You are warmly invited to edit and adapt any of the current pages, by e.g. adding examples, correcting or complementing information. And/or to add your own approaches, projects, initiatives and user profiles. Becoming a Wiki-user is every easy and quick.'''

For information on how, check out the '''[[Project:User guide|User guide]]'''. This guide includes links to tips on formatting and editing wiki pages.

==About UrbanA==

{{#ev:youtube|h2mXmYnhpqg|450|right||frame}}

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].

==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.

==Databases==
[[File:Mapping of Approaches.jpg|thumb|left|320px|link=https://urban-arena.eu/wp-content/uploads/2020/02/Zine-final-version_Optimised.pdf|Mapping of Approaches for UrbanA project during Rotterdam Arena Event]]
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 began as a set of approaches and research methods linking urban sustainability and justice. The latest addition is a set of drivers of injustice that can arise as (usually unitended) side-effects of urban sustainability efforts. Use of this wiki will connect closely with our [https://www.zotero.org/groups/2324475/urbana_library shared virtual library]. Visit the list of approaches, drivers, projects and people by following these links:

*'''[[Database of approaches]]'''

*'''[[Database of drivers of injustice]]'''

**'''[[Database of governance scenarios]]'''

*'''[[Database of projects & initiatives]]'''

*'''[[Database of people]]'''

The covid-19 crisis has exposed severe inequities in European urban areas while showing the fragility of an unsustainable growth-oriented economic system. The [[UrbanA_Community_of_Practice]] has collected resources that intersect the covid-19 crisis with issues of justice, sustainability and urbanization.

Database of governance scenarios

2020-06-05T07:30:30Z

Philipp Spaeth:

On this page very soon you will find 11 detailed case studies of governance interventions for sustainable and just cities. In addition, we are busy finalizing 11 very short governance scenarios, that will also be shared here.

The broad topic of governance arrangements for sustainability and justice in cities can be disaggregated into specific ambitions or objectives, that are often discussed:
;A) How can sustainability and justice challenges be dealt with in a more integrative and comprehensive way - rather than by (sectoraly) compartmentalized policies and organizations?
:(“policy integration”)

;B) How can people from governments, civil society and enterprises be enabled to better co-operate for sustainability and justice in their cities?
:(“bridging institutional logics”)

;C) How can citizens be better enabled to participate in deliberations about the most urgent objectives and measures of urban development?
:(“citizens' involvement”)

;D) Do we need alternative metrics to guide urban policy development, which could focus e.g. on the affordability of housing rather than on GDP growth, employment and investments?
:(“alternative metrics”)

We are going to discuss how these ambitions are tentatively realized in promising experiments at a [https://urban-arena.eu/event/urbana-community-conversation-governance-tools/ Community Conversation] on '''June 23rd, 2020'''; all are welcome to sign up and join the discussion.

In addition, we are interested in knowing which further procedural ambitions you consider crucial on the way towards governance arrangements that foster sustainability AND justice in cities.
In case you have suggestions, please contact [[User:Philipp Spaeth|Philipp Spaeth]], or contribue to the further development of the case studies and governance scenarios on this wiki once they are released for co-creation by the wider [[UrbanA Community of Practice]].
