    Think infrastructures in context: human ecosystems - by Bahanur Nasya

    We often wonder why some infrastructure projects are loved and cherished by citizens while others aren’t. It’s not only the quality of the project that determines its success but the acceptance it receives from citizens as well. Change is often only possible when a community gets behind a project, owns the solutions, lives the change and actively adopts the proposed solution to their reality. However, community-led solutions are difficult to achieve, especially if the proposed solution is too new and has little grassroots support. The mechanisms of ecosystem building come in useful under such circumstances to help yield positive involvement.

  • O vrednosti javnega prostora in kako ga najbolje uporabiti

    Pred skoraj dvema letoma se je majhna skupina mest odločila, da bodo izboljšala rabo svojega javnega prostora. Združili so se v URBACT omrežje, ki se imenuje Space4People. V teh prizadevanjih niso bili sami: po vsej Evropi in širše so se okrepile razprave in pobude, kako spremeniti občine in mesta. O tem, kako ustvariti mesta, prijetna za življenje, zdrava, privlačna, zelena in igriva. In kako lahko prihajajoče spremembe pomagajo pri soočanju z enim največjih izzivov, s katerimi smo se doslej srečali: podnebnimi spremembami.
