Our conference focuses on making cities more sustainable. We want to learn how to improve city life through experiments, teamwork, and sharing ideas.
Cities need to change to become more sustainable. This means everyone - from city leaders to everyday people - needs to learn new ways of doing things. Since the 2000s, researchers have been trying out new ideas in real city settings.
These real-world experiments are essential. They help us turn knowledge into action to create better cities and help city planners better respond to people's needs, especially when facing challenges like climate change.
We want to create systems where researchers, policymakers, and planners can collaborate. This will help make cities more livable and give citizens more power to make changes.
At the conference, we'll discuss essential questions like:
- What skills do we need to learn from these experiments?
- How can researchers help develop these skills?
- How can we keep learning and researching for a long time?
- How can we make sure what we learn is used effectively?
The UERA conference aims to build skills, encourage teamwork, and promote learning at city and local levels.
We want to make sustainable changes in areas like:
- City resilience
- Transportation
- City management
- Citizen participation
- Circular economy
- Energy use
- Smart cities that focus on people's needs
Join us to help shape the future of our cities!
