Obnova odľahlých lokalít s aktívnou účasťou obyvateľov: inšpiratívny príklad z mesta Brno (Česká republika)

Okolité oblasti patriace mestu Brno nemajú vybudovanú vhodnú infraštruktúru a majú slabé sociálne väzby. Pri riešení týchto problémov mesto využíva nástroje operačného programu URBACT, pomocou ktorých realizuje nový model obnovy lokalít. Na tomto modeli budú v prvom rade participovať obyvatelia z lokality Červený kopec (Brno).

Healthy Cities during COVID-19; Accelerating from planning to action

By Dr.Sebastiaan van Herk, lead expert Healthy Cities, and Sofia Aivalioti, Ad Hoc Expert Healthy Cities

The COVID-19 pandemic that has sent the world into lockdown has also affected, but not derailed, progress towards building healthier cities. In fact, it’s only under confinement that many people truly took stock of their living environment - their homes, streets and neighbourhoods - and appreciated the value of accessible green spaces. It was also a time to (re)discover the importance of community and collective health: our health depends on the health of others. This places health at the centre of the debate when re-considering the priorities of urban planning. Out of the crisis, cities can build back better with much more support for city policies in greening, mobility and health, that may well have taken years to build up otherwise. In other words, they can work towards becoming a healthy city.

Jó gyakorlat a civil platformról

A Civil Platformról röviden

A civil platformok jelentősége, hogy összekapcsolják a segítségre szoruló vagy egy adott kérdésben érintett lakosokat az aktív helyi csoportokkal. A civil platformok emellett tanácsadást nyújtanak a helyi csoportoknak, valamint támogatják őket munkájuk összehangolásában. Továbbá a városban működő civil szervezetek tevékenységének koordinálását segítve fontos hidat képeznek a civil társadalom és az állami intézmények között.

RU:RBAN ARE PROPRIA POVESTE DE TRANSFER: CUM SE REALIZEAZĂ GRĂDINILE URBANE

Filosofia din spatele Rețelelor de Transfer URBACT este încorporată în numele său: transferul de bune practici al unui oraș către un grup de orașe care au identificat posibilitatea de a adopta (și de a adapta) astfel de bune practici și de a le face proprii. Toate în spiritul de a împărtăși cunoștințe și experiență cu scopul final de a îmbunătăți calitatea vieții, în fațetele sale multiple, în orașele noastre. Fiecare rețea de transfer ar trebui să producă o „poveste de transfer” care este, pe scurt, povestea modului în care bunele practici au fost transferate în alte orașe ale UE, care au fost provocările cu care se confruntă și oportunitățile apărute în proces.
