Retrospectiva anului 2021 – URBACT in orasele din Romania

După anul 2020 cand orasele romanesti au fost date peste cap de criza pandemica si sistemul administratiei publice a facut un pas mare catre digitalizare, anul 2021 a venit sa ne arate ca ne putem descurca si putem face multe chiar si in pandemie, cel putin asta este viziunea din unghiul URBACT.

Role-playing as a method for active participation in the URBACT KAIRÓS - Heritage as Urban Regeneration project by ad-hoc expert Mirna Karzen

Can you have small scale actions before infrastructure developments and when to introduce them? Why include community in the urban planning processes – they are not experts, architects, urban planners, and traffic specialists? How can you introduce alternative mobility options in the hilly city? What green infrastructure solutions to introduce in the historical old towns that would not make conservationists cringe?

A round-up of 2021; and looking ahead to 2022

It’s that time of year again! The end of 2021 is nearly here and we will welcome in 2022.

The end of the year, and beginning of a new one, is always a time for reflection (for what’s happened so far) and excitement (for what’s coming up ahead). Thinking about USE-IT, the project has got off to a great start. We’ve had excellent study visits (electronically that is) and informative meetings with all our partners.

Unfortunately, due to the ongoing pandemic, we have not been able to travel in the same way we usually would, which is a shame – but we’ve made up for it, with fantastic contributions from everyone.

2021 has been a busy year for USE-IT. The last few months have been a time to set-up the project and get everything ready. As we look to 2022, this will be when the project goes into full speed.
