Participative governance approach for urban regeneration

URBiNAT and CES Thematic Line “Urban Cultures, Sociabilities and Participation” are organizing a webinar dedicated to the theme “Participative governance approach for urban regeneration”.

Scope
Within the process of co-creating Nature Based Solutions, URBiNAT established living labs gathering fundamental actors for co-producing urban regeneration.
This webinar aims to debate and unpack the complexity of the municipal decision-making process. More importantly, speakers will address their perspectives on the civic, political, administrative and technical aspects that hamper or support the advancement of stronger and more sustainable innovations.
We are gathering the main actors involved in this complexity: a citizen, a political representative, a technical decision-maker and a researcher.

Goals
• Establish multi-lenses dialogue on obstacles and opportunities in participatory regeneration processes
• Share and outline possible benefits of co-decision in urban governance
• Discuss the possibilities of pioneering participatory processes in the context of municipal governance
