Governance of Urban Sustainability Transitions: Transition towards sustainable and liveable urban futures

JPI Urban Europe recently announced its up-coming conference “Transition towards sustainable and liveable urban futures” and the launching of the JPI Urban Europe Strategic Research and Innovation Agenda. The event, jointly organized with European institutions, will take place in Brussels on the 29-30 September 2015. The GUST project will attend the event.

About GUST

European cities face a pressing challenge – how to provide economic prosperity and social cohesion while achieving environmental sustainability? In response, new collaborations are emerging in the form of urban living labs – sites devised to design, test and learn from social and technical innovation in real time. Funded by JPI Urban Europe, the aim of the GUST project is to examine, inform and advance the governance of sustainability transitions through urban living labs, which are proliferating across Europe as a means for testing innovations in buildings, transport and energy systems. Despite the experimentation taking place on the ground, there is a lack of systematic learning across urban and national contexts.
