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 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 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.
