🌳🌳 CONGRATULATIONS - City of Launceston Urban Greening Strategy awarded The Planning Institute of Australia announced the Tasmanian award winners for planning excellence in December. And the City of Launceston was recognised as the Planning Research Award Winner. The City of Launceston’s Urban Greening Strategy tackles climate change with knowledge and innovation and a focus on the heightened susceptibility to heat within the Tasmanian community. The project aims to mitigate and adapt, reduce the urban heat island effect, transition to a water-sensitive city, and design sustainable communities and ecosystems, as well as remaining sensitive to heritage values. The strategy emphasizes heat equity and the benefits of urban trees, using remote sensing for regional greening. The project is innovative, collaborative, resourceful, and adaptable to other urban areas, with the first trees being planted in heat-prone neighbourhoods within Launceston City.

💡 Cork City Council - Comhairle Cathrach Chorcaí 🇮🇪 is the new #ICLEIMember in the spotlight! Comhghairdeas 🎉 To promote #urbandevelopment, the city is successfully integrating Nature-based Solutions through Green & Blue Infrastructure initiatives 🚍🌳 And this is just one part of the “Cork City Development Plan 2022-2028” - the city’s primary land-use planning document - guiding main sustainability projects in the city 📄 📢Cllr. Kieran McCarthy, Lord Mayor of Cork underlines: “With our city set to grow very significantly over the next generation, we in Cork have equally big ambitions to ensure that this takes place sustainably (...) Just as we are now implementing numerous EU-supported partnership projects on different sustainability themes – including some working directly alongside ICLEI – our membership of the network opens further doors for Cork in terms of connecting and collaborating with like-minded peers to learn from their good practices and innovative approaches. Despite our geographical isolation on the Atlantic periphery of Europe, this gives Cork a stake and a voice in an influential and vocal local sustainability movement.’’ #BlueInfrastructure #GreenInfrastructure #Naturebasedsolutions

💡 Three years ago, I came across an article by Katrin Grossmann and colleagues on social-ecological justice (https://lnkd.in/gi2eqzkd) that fundamentally changed my view of sustainability. 🏚️ In our new article we apply and develop this concept using the example of reusing vacant spaces policies. 🙏 Thanks especially to Ondrej Slach (head of URSA research group) for providing the support and trust without which such an ambitious article could not have been possible. 👉 Read the full article here: https://lnkd.in/gcHmMekc
