Globally, there are very few urban centres within World Heritage Areas. Being an LGA nested within and adjacent to a World Heritage Area comes with inherent challenges and opportunities. It means there is the need to integrate ecological principles at all levels of urban and peri-urban planning, development, and management. At our conference, we explored sensitive urban and water design to learn about creating healthier and more sustainable cities. In case you missed it, here’s a quick recap from this session, titled “Building a Sustainable Urban Interface with World Heritage.”

Hear from Tom Faulkner, Managing Director for Hines in the Nordics, live and in person at the 2024 ULI Australia Conference. Tom will unpack the nature of the Nordic living sector (compared to other UK/European markets), private ownership versus rental segments, relevant regulation, distribution of public housing, the proportionate share of institutional capital that really drives the market, and how product development is so essential to support relevant, affordable housing for a growing and urbanising population. Alongside regulation and financing, Tom will address construction and procurement, where the Nordic discussion on ‘build to live and millennial strategies’ can be quite progressive especially as it relates to community, sustainability performance and decarbonisation. Global thought leaders like Tom will help solve Australia's decarbonisation challenges, unpack best practice outcomes for the densification of our built environment, and identify what we can do right now to enable the next generations to thrive in our cities. Meet Tom and other world-class experts from Australia and around the globe and experience a unique program of conversations and presentations that will stimulate your thinking, grow your knowledge, and empower you to forge connections across the ULI's global network. 👉 REGISTER NOW: https://lnkd.in/g_f3eNaM #ULIAustralia #ULIGlobalFutures #CitiesInTransformation

❓ ❓ ❓ Can research influence policy ? We researchers tend to think we know what real-world situations are, but it is difficult to know what you do not know. It requires leaving your comfort zone. The intensive ICCROM workshop “Managing #Urban #Heritage for #Sustainable #Development in World Heritage Context” in Bamberg (Germany) brought #AGREE team with amazing WH Site Team Managers / Coordinators (see Francesca Giliberto, PhD's post to know who they are). In addition to the issues in Francesca's post, we also talked about the need to break the individual silos, to come together, to leave comfort zones, to mediate the change (and -of course- mapping the attributes 😀). I do believe that research can influence policy, but only when it is informed by the realities of local conditions and only when silos are broken.

🤓 The first call of the New European Bauhaus dedicated to local initiatives resulted in a selection of 20 projects presenting a great potential to exemplify New European Bauhaus values. Here are the successful applications - in alphabetical ordered after the EU Member State :

Before the transformation, Düsseldorf's highways were characterized by congestion, noise pollution, and a disconnect between neighborhoods. However, after the revitalization efforts, the city's highways have undergone a remarkable transformation. With thoughtful urban planning and investment in sustainable infrastructure, Düsseldorf now boasts efficient transportation corridors that seamlessly integrate with the surrounding urban fabric. Enhanced public transit options, pedestrian-friendly designs, and green spaces along the highways have revitalized the cityscape, fostering connectivity, reducing traffic congestion, and improving overall quality of life for residents. Düsseldorf's highways now serve as vibrant arteries that not only facilitate movement but also promote community engagement and environmental sustainability. Truly a testament to the power of visionary urban planning in shaping the cities of tomorrow.
