Study Notes
Introduction to Urban Planning
- The presentation discusses planning in a changing climate, emphasizing climate justice and climate neutrality.
- Urban planning involves various disciplines, including hygiene, geography, sociology, demography, engineering, and art.
- Urban planning emerged as a distinct field at the end of the 19th century.
Origins of Urban Planning
- Urban planning arose as a response to the challenges of the Industrial Revolution.
- Physical organization focuses on the structure of a territory (roads, buildings, technology).
- Functional organization details how territorial entities relate to each other, the services and roles played in a context.
Urban Planning in the 20th Century
- In the first half of the twentieth century, urban planning focused on the spatial arrangement of cities, regarding usage, buildings, and transportation routes.
- Economic, social, and political planning were not primarily considered within this period of time.
- The rationalist model for planning cities focused on needs like habitation, work, leisure, and traffic.
Climate Justice – Context and Definition
- Climate justice considers the different impacts of climate change. People will experience its impacts in different ways.
- This concept explores how inequalities are accentuated by climate crises.
Diversity, Inclusion, and Vulnerability
- Diversity encompasses similarities and differences in a society.
- Inclusion considers factors like access to education, economic status, and health.
- Vulnerabilities from exclusion relate to the disadvantages and barriers certain communities have in responding to challenges. It concerns the isolation and lack of representation experienced by specific groups within a wider society
Access to What?
- Access to urban services such as markets, capital, public and private spaces is necessary.
- Access to information and knowledge is a vital part of urban life.
- Sustainable urban planning considers the needs of all citizens within a given area.
Vulnerable Groups
- Young people face unemployment and difficulties in establishing businesses.
- Women have historically had a key role in urban development, but underrepresentation remains a concern.
- Migrants often experience exclusion and have limited access to decision-making processes.
- Elderly residents frequently face isolation and lack access to basic services.
- People with disabilities often lack adequate support, hindering their ability to live independently.
Urban Justice
- Justice is about addressing social inequalities.
- The principles of equity, democracy, and diversity are crucial for a just city.
- Sustainable urban development must examine the interconnectedness of economic, political, and social factors.
- Conflicts between justice and sustainability need to be actively confronted.
Urban Climate Justice
- Urban climate justice addresses social justice issues in the context of climate change.
- Climate change impacts are unequally distributed.
- Cities need to build inclusive systems that reduce inequality
Climate Neutrality and Climate Neutral Cities
- Climate neutrality maintains a balance between emitting and absorbing carbon from the atmosphere.
- Key pillars of achieving climate neutrality involve reducing emissions, increasing renewable energy, improving energy efficiency, and afforestation.
- Carbon offsets can mitigate emissions by investing in emission reduction in other areas, or offsetting emissions made by countries that cause lower emissions elsewhere.
100 Climate Neutral Cities
- Targets aim for 100 climate-neutral and smart cities by 2030.
- The EU's research and innovation program supports these initiatives.
Benefits for Cities
- Cities benefit from tailor-made guidance and assistance.
- Funds increase through specific city label funding.
- Research, innovation, action, and networks enhance global cooperation.
