As part of the Connective Cities’ recovery programme on “Municipal response to COVID-19” the topical cluster “Green Urban Development” is currently working on three working groups (energy, mobility and urban space) involving cities like e.g. Kigali, Kisumu, Hamburg, Hanoi, Dortmund, Belo Horizonte, Kochi, Lalitpur, Quito, Buenos Aires, etc. At the same time there are many other cities in the Connective Cities Community who also have worked on green city solutions. 

The first of two planned Green City Pioneers of Change Workshops is taking place on Wednesday January 19^th, has the objective to involve a wide range of city representatives to reflect about possible entry points for local solutions and to make use of the collected city experiences in the Connective Cities Community.

The 1st Green City Pioneer of Change Workshop 

• will present an overview about entry points to promote initiatives in the areas of green urban space, energy, and mobility. It will also present some inspirational practices from the themes the working groups in the cluster “Green Urban Development" are working on (last mile connectivity, eco zones, cycling lanes).
• will reflect in a dynamic World Cafe workshop style with city representatives and interested individuals on additional experiences and the identification of concrete entry points for promoting green city solutions in their own context.

The final objective of the 1st Green City Pioneers of Change Event is to create a Pioneers of Change Network on Green Urban Development that goes beyond the different working groups.

Join us on the 19. January 2022 from 13:00 to 16:00h (CET time)! The event is taking place on our Connective Cities Community: https://community.connective-cities.net/en/node/1111
