Green infrastructure: workshop for City Managers

How can metropolitan areas optimize the development and benefits of green infrastructure?

The final activity of the City Managers Days 2020 will allow participants to answer this question through learning about and exchanging different approaches and working solutions to three previously identified green infrastructure challenges:

  1. Dealing with existing infrastructure ("realities")
    How to implement green infrastructure in areas with a high density of infrastructure and mobility pressures?
     
  2. Tackling and adapting to climate change
    How to integrate the perspective of climate change adaptation in the planning and design of green infrastructure projects? How to take climate change scenarios into account for defining natural conservation and restoration strategies?
     
  3. Improving metropolitan governance
    How to foster and coordinate different levels of government and stakeholders in green infrastructure?


This is an interactive online workshop facilitated by Alexander Heichlinger, Senior Expert and Consultant in city management, who will apply a problem-driven and solution-oriented methodology. Participants will be able not only to exchange their best practices but also to share the difficulties of their routines in a safe environment of trust among peers, which can foster the collective elaboration of innovative and creative solutions.
