Urban Living Lab Center
UN-Habitat Collaboration Center
UN-Habitat Collaboration Center
The transformation of cities towards sustainable and inclusive development is a key objective of the New Urban Agenda. There is substantial potential to improve urban access, air quality, safety, and the quality of life in cities along with reducing Greenhouse Gas Emissions if an integrated policy approach is applied that combines all intervention areas for urban policy and involves all levels of government. Linking key sectors and actors is a vital step towards an integrated approach that helps decarbonizing urban systems and delivers liveable and accessible cities for all. Testing innovative solutions in urban living labs can be a key steppingstone, transferring these learnings into scaled-up public or private sector actions is then a vital next step towards transformative change.
This partnership will focus on key aspects related to urban transformations and aims to provide a common platform for projects and initiatives for capacity building with a focus on:
The joint collaboration program can provide a structured capacity building, peer-exchange, and learning concept focusing on sectoral linkages between mobility, energy, and resources as well as the socio-economic, institutional, and political aspects that affect the adoption of smart mobility solutions in cities in Europe, Asia, Africa, and Latin America. This builds a range of partnerships and key projects. While this has been initiated by the Urban Pathways project, it is open to all relevant projects, funded by the International Climate Initiative and other relevant programs in order to sustain partnerships with local and national authorities, and local innovators and to maximize synergies.
The program aims to bring together professional training, academic studies, and local implementation. Key elements of this partnership program are joint training and capacity building program and a support mechanism for the development, implementation, and scale-up of urban living labs.
An urban transitions competence framework will be developed jointly along with thematic curricula for key urban sectors, such as mobility, energy, and waste as well as cross-cutting issues, such as business modeling and access to finance.
Regional and thematic hubs will be established capacity building material will be made available and a shared expert database will be developed.
