The new URBACT networks are out! 10 Innovation Transfer Networks were approved last Friday by the Monitoring Committee of the programme. The networks will foster the adaptation and replication of solutions developed in the framework of Urban Innovative Actions projects, through the creation of investment plans and participatory schemes. Night policies will be again under the spotlight with the network 2Nite guided by Turin that will transfer the innovation in night use of public spaces and city services developed with the UIA project ToNite. The network will involve also Braga (with Associação Quadrilátero) which is leading Cities After Dark on similar topics. Great to see also other major Italian cities such as Rome, Milan, Naples, Ravenna involved in networks that will promote the replication of some of the most innovative solutions in different dimensions of sustainable urban development European Urban Initiative Euractiv Euractiv Italia Euronews European Commission Urban Agenda for the EU Torino Urban Lab torinoeuprojects Stefano Lo Russo Marco Mazziotti Raffaele Barbato Ricardo Rio Município de Braga Municipio de Barcelos Famalicão Município de Guimarães Roma Capitale Comune di Milano Comune di Ravenna Emanuela Medeghini Nuno Almeida Nuno Gouveia Ricardo Rio ANCI - Associazione nazionale Comuni italiani Direção-Geral do Território

Save The Date!  The Australasian Cities Research Network (ACRN) is delighted to announce the State of Australasian Cities (SOAC) Conference will be held in Brisbane from 9-12 December 2025, preceded by PhD/ECR Symposium being held from 7-9 December. Visit www.soac2025.com and sign up to the enewsletter to be kept informed. SOAC 2025 will promote, foster, champion, and disseminate research relevant to Australasian cities and regions. It will bring together areas such as urban planning, how design and policy address current challenges and global trends in urbanism with a focus on legacy, long-term sustainability, and innovation. The interplay between global dynamics and local challenges presents a critical juncture for Australasian cities and regional centres. Phenomena such as climate change, pandemics, conflict, economic downturns, and political volatility are not merely external factors but are directly augmenting the complexity of local issues. These include environmental sustainability, urban sprawl and transportation, housing affordability and homelessness, population growth and demographic shifts, the preservation and integration of indigenous communities and knowledge, economic diversification and employment, and addressing the digital divide and connectivity. These challenges necessitate a departure from reactive policies towards a more proactive and integrated approach to urban and regional planning.  #SOAC2025 #Brisbane

Already onto Webinar #3! Cumulatively for Webinars #1 and 2 we have had 300+ registrants. It's fantastic to see such interest. This week we will focus on ‘tactical urbanism’ street transformations. Tactical urbanism is a design methodology and engagement strategy, implementing temporary ‘tactical demonstrations’ and ‘trial interventions’ to test living versions of designs with communities in real time, focused on delivering streets that put people first, making them safer and more livable. Whereas traditional infrastructure development in the Pacific requires large capital investments and multiple years for planning, design and implementation, tactical urbanism can deliver infrastructure improvements in a matter of weeks, at minimal costs and using materials available at local hardware stores. Proposed measures to be trialed using this method include pedestrian crossings, traffic calming, intersection narrowing, plazas and parklets, and footpaths and bicycle paths. Secure your spot in the conversation that reclaims our streets for safety, sanity, and the sheer joy of moving freely in Pacific cities!
