Future Green City World Congress’ Post

This November Housing Europe goes to Milan for a significant occasion: key players and experts in the field of public, cooperative and social #housing will meet and discuss #funding challenges faced by the sector across Europe🏘️ From high-level representatives of the #banking sector to researchers, this will be a very rich ground for sharing ideas on #finance and the need for a new #housingparadigm. 💡 Throughout five sessions, more than 30 speakers will put their energy and knowledge into bringing forward solutions for a handful of key concepts: 🔵revolving funds 🔵housing affordability 🔵good governance ...to name a few. Launched in June 2023, the Housing Finance Working Group brings together fresh ideas in financing and governance for sustainable housing. The Annual Responsible Housing Finance Summit is a cornerstone of this effort, encouraging peer learning and pushing forward the goals of the 2024 Liège Declaration. All this would not be possible without the valuable contributions of the Housing Europe members, whose leaders will convene the day before and discuss the best way forward, also thanks to the host FEDERCASA.🤝 If you want to dive even deeper into the topic, you are also invited to the workshop organised by the European Investment Bank (EIB): 'Developing actionable strategies to increase the supply of affordable and sustainable housing'. ✍️https://lnkd.in/eCmBFNAm The Responsible Housing Summit is co-hosted by Legacoop Abitanti, Legacoop Lombardia, with the contribution of: Regione Lombardia, Laudes Foundation, CEB - Council of Europe Development Bank. 🧑💻While the registrations to join us on the spot are already closed, we are happy to announce that you will be able to follow the event online, so stay tuned to get the link!

A state visit such as the one recently undertaken by H.E President William Ruto of Kenya is marked with a plethora of deals and announcements that can be confusing for investors and the public in general. One way to cut through the noise is by the use of condensed official briefs and press releases. Here is a White House fact sheet on the recently concluded state visit by H.E President Ruto. Interesting announcements within the realms of clean energy, recycling, climate-tech, Agriculture, and many other sectors of interest to the Dynamic Sustainability Lab I have highlighted some of the announcements that are directly related to my current project as a graduate research fellow at the Dynamic Sustainability Lab . I am looking forward to synthesizing this and so much more into the DSL technical bulletin and report under the guidance of Dr. Jay Golden and Aaron Otis : 1.) Investing in Electric Vehicle Startups: DFC announced a $10 million direct loan to BasiGo an electric vehicle company that leases and sells electric buses to public transport bus operators in Kenya. The loan facilitates procurement of buses and batteries for sale in Kenya and is a key e-mobility project supporting Kenya’s ambitious climate goals. Additionally, DFC announced a $10 million loan to Kenyan company Roam Electric that supports its assembly and production of electric motorcycles on-site in its Nairobi production facility. The U.S. Department of State also announced $100,000 for technical assistance to support accelerating the transition to zero-emissions vehicles in Kenya, including through policy development and implementation, capacity building and peer-to-peer learning, and workforce development. 2.) Growing Kenya’s E-mobility Sector: DFC recently announced a $10 million loan to Mogo Auto Kenya to support affordable financing for cars, motorcycle taxis, and logbook loans in Kenya. The transaction supports President Ruto’s Africa Green Industrialization Initiative, building upon DFC’s longstanding support for the e-mobility economy in Kenya.

🗺 Harworth’s Blueprint for Growth – launched today at UKREiiF The UK has huge potential – but we are facing challenges that hamper regional economic growth and prevent better life outcomes for communities from being achieved. Tackling the housing shortage, attracting inward investment to stimulate local economies, improving skills and access to high quality jobs, and decarbonising our economy are some of the defining issues of our generation. There are barriers to addressing these, from short term fragmented funding models that create uncertainty and constrain long-term investment, to a planning system that is not equipped to deal with the nature of development today. Fundamental policy changes are needed to drive progress. Today, we launched our Blueprint for Growth – setting out the areas of reform we believe should be adopted now to drive sustainable economic growth in the coming years. Each of our policy proposals – if delivered – would help to drive long-term, sustainable growth across the UK’s regions. The Blueprint is being showcased in Harworth’s pavilion at UKREiiF over the next three days – if you’re here, please come down to the Regeneration Pavilion to learn more and share your thoughts. You can also download a copy of the Blueprint for Growth here: https://lnkd.in/eJdtPzVw Harworth is experienced in delivering complex, large-scale regeneration and transformational change across the North of England and the Midlands. We operate in some of the most economically challenging areas of the country, and understand the dynamics of successful, sustainable regeneration – and the building blocks that are needed for this. #economicgrowth #community #regeneration #ukreiif

🔗💻🔎 DOI: https://lnkd.in/dVtnptss 🧑📖 Formation of state protection for urban passenger transport enterprises 👨⚖️ 🏫 ©️ Oleksii Palant, Denys Zakharov (O. M. Beketov National University of Urban Economy in Kharkiv, Ukraine) Keywords: #state #financing, state #support, #entrepreneurship, #urban #passenger #transportation, #protectionism of #entrepreneurship Abstract This paper considers the task to provide state financial protectionism under the conditions of today's challenges. A model of effective interaction is proposed, which takes into account selective fair financing based on indicators of the investment attractiveness of the i-th region and the priority of the i-th region. The calculations proved the independence of the regional financing priority indicator on the level of investment attractiveness of the region, or vice versa. The methodology was tested on the example of urban passenger transportation entrepreneurship under the conditions of challenges that have arisen. According to the results, those territories that are recognized as the most affected and vulnerable, and the problem of support of which can be solved only with the help of state intervention, are eligible for state protectionism. The results of the calculations show that the distribution of financial funds in the amount of state finances S=1 allocated to support entrepreneurship is carried out proportionally. A comprehensive approach made it possible to determine the regions for state funding, while the most affected regions receive the largest share of financial investments – Luhansk, Chernivtsi, Kherson, Donetsk, Mykolaiv, and Sumy oblasts, which will receive funding to support urban passenger transportation, in the amount of 17.01 %, 16.89 %, 16.74 %, 16.57 %, 16.55 %, and 16.24 %, respectively. This study is of practical interest for state management bodies as it provides methodological recommendations for the allocation of funds to support the most affected regions. It is also useful for researchers studying financial provision, protectionism, and public administration, and it is recommended that future research be conducted taking into account the level of socio-economic development of states.

Through enterprise, supplier, and socio-economic development initiatives, municipalities can stimulate local economic growth. Munsoft's commitment to B-BBEE supports these initiatives, fostering inclusive and sustainable development. #localgovernment #financialmanagement #fms
