C40 | Reinventing Cities

C40 | Reinventing Cities | Energy Transition in Europe | www.energy-cities.eu | Scoop.it

Initiated by the C40 Cities Climate Leadership Group and made possible thanks to the support of Climate KIC, Reinventing Cities is a global competition that seeks to transform underutilized sites through sustainable and community-focused projects to drive decarbonised and resilient urban regeneration.
To amplify the success of the first competition, C40 is now enabling cities to continuously join Reinventing Cities with new sites, to create an ongoing and dynamic competition and to catalyse systemic change. Today, C40 is launching 25 new sites to be reinvented in 9 cities: Cape Town, Chicago, Dubai, Madrid, Milan, Montreal, Reykjavik, Roma and Singapore.

Urban Space as the Commons - New Modes for Urban Space Management - IOPscience

Urban Space as the Commons - New Modes for Urban Space Management - IOPscience | Energy Transition in Europe | www.energy-cities.eu | Scoop.it
This paper presents a possible new approach to the management of urban spaces reflecting the current challenges in spatial development based on the theory of commons and innovative governance modes. The new approach is built on innovations in institutional regimes, the algorithm of decision-making and economic expression and interpretation of quality of the space. The theory of the commons as the base source for this approach has been broadly proved in practice and Elinor Ostrom as the author of this theory [3-5] was awarded by Nobel Prize in 2009.

Foundries of the future: A guide for 21st century urban manufacturing

Foundries of the future: A guide for 21st century urban manufacturing | Energy Transition in Europe | www.energy-cities.eu | Scoop.it

This book aims to show that despite perceptions, manufacturing is not in terminal decay in western cities. On the contrary, it is at the opening of a new chapter. Urban manufacturing is helping cities to be more innovative, circular, inclusive and resilient. Recently, with increasing interest in the circular economy, with cleaner and more compact technology, with more progressive building codes for mixed use, with increasing awareness of the impacts of social inequality and with a clearer understanding of the value chains between the trade of material and immaterial goods, cities across the world are realising that manufacturing has an important place in the 21st century urban economy.

Handbook on Sustainable and Circular Re-use of Spaces and Buildings now available! | FUTURIUM | European Commission

Handbook on Sustainable and Circular Re-use of Spaces and Buildings now available! | FUTURIUM | European Commission | Energy Transition in Europe | www.energy-cities.eu | Scoop.it

This handbook is intended as a tool to lay the foundations for an overall strategy that looks at a new model of urban re-use management following the principles of the circular economy. In fact, disused and underutilized spaces and buildings in all European cities can become opportunities for new jobs, the promotion of a collaborative economy, social innovation and start-ups.
