Description: Das Projekt "Post-Carbon Cities of Tomorrow - foresight for sustainable pathways towards liveable, affordable and prospering cities in a world context (POCACITO)" wird/wurde ausgeführt durch: Leibniz-Institut für Raumbezogene Sozialforschung e.V..By 2050, climate change and the energy transition will have profoundly changed the face of big cities in the EU. Cities are responsible for the lion's share of greenhouse gas emissions, yet with regard to sustainable development of the environment, economy and society, they also offer the greatest potential for innovation and efficiency. The IRS participates in the EU research consortium 'Post-Carbon Cities of Tomorrow - foresight for sustainable pathways towards liveable, affordable and prospering cities in a world context (POCACITO)'. This project develops a roadmap for the transition to a sustainable, post-fossil fuel economic model. This concept includes changes to energy systems, water supply, traffic, waste management, regional economic cycles, housing, environmental protection, political governance and education. At the IRS, Prof. Dr. Kristine Kern and Dr. Ross Beveridge (research department 'Institutional Change and Regional Public Goods') will lead work package 2, which develops an inventory of urban sustainability initiatives. Together with the project partners, Kern and Beveridge will identify and evaluate innovative approaches for the 'post-carbon transition' in 100 EU cities. Within three thematic fields (citywide initiatives, pilot projects at a neighbourhood level and sectoral political initiatives) they will compile good practices. As a next step, they will develop an typology that helps cities to make informed choices about particular measures. Moreover, they will analyse both national and EU-wide measures. This preparatory work paves the way for subsequent work packages, which will a) implement case studies in a number of EU cities, b) develop theoretically and empirically well-founded scenarios and their quantitative analysis and c) support the implementation of measures within a 'marketplace of ideas'.
