Published today, our new report 'Behind the Green Curtain: An Exploration of Social Justice in Copenhagen's Built Environment' is the latest instalment in our research project to unpack rights-respecting climate action in eight cities. Working with Ramboll Management Consulting and ICLEI, we have analysed the impact of built environment climate action on the right to housing, construction worker rights, meaningful participation and socio-spatial inequality in Copenhagen. This report highlights: 🌍 Undeniable evidence of Copenhagen’s leading role in climate action and environmental sustainability, which has made the city so proud ⚖ A clear need to mature the social dimensions of climate actions in its built environment 📈 Examples of positive and negative social impacts of public & private sector initiatives 💡 Recommendations for policy-makers, businesses and civil society Read it here: https://lnkd.in/gQC4pB5v Laudes Foundation Ove Arup Foundation BWI - GLOBAL UNION - Building and Wood Workers' International The Danish Institute for Human Rights - International Activities Christine Lunde Rasmussen Dark Matter Labs #BuiltEnvironment #JustTransition

Great to see Arup contribute to this study which shows that the built environment sector's future contribution to the European economy does not have to be a choice between economic growth and nature preservation. #CircularEconomy #WeAreArup

📣 I am proud to share that The Arcadis Sustainable Cities Index 2024 is now available! Our team analyzed 100 cities worldwide across four pillars—Planet, People, Progress, and Profit—to offer invaluable insights into global sustainable progress and pivotal strategies for driving sustainable urban development. For the first time, we have added a new pillar, Progress 📉. This new pillar studies change over time to demonstrate the impact of sustainability interventions over the last decade. With just 2,000 days to reach the United Nations' Sustainable Development Goals by 2030, cities must maintain their momentum and strive to make transformative changes. Curious?

What is the human desires and perspectives when transforming our buildings and neighbourhoods? How do we ensure we not only balance public regulations, financial targets, environment and biodiversity needs but that our solutions also express identities and desires of residents - present and if possible future? And that our solutions provide social value not just to buildings and local communities - but to society at a large? In this core this a a question not just of design, but of process and decison-making, of governance and data. And it is not a question to be answered alone and brief posts. So do you want to hear more? Then join us in Aalborg on Wednedsday 2nd October at 14 PM for a panel discussion of the tension between Nice and Necessary. I will talk about delivering on social perspectives - and what this implies - in a panel with Henriette Thuen (DI), Dr. Banu Pekol (BMW Foundation) and Kerry Zander (City of Wismar). Thanks to ICLEI Europe (Gioele Racca) for setting this important dialogue as part of the 10th European Conference on Sustainable Cities and Towns on 1-3 October 2024.
