SUMMARY:Cities for Everyone: The City We Want Barcelona
DESCRIPTION:Towards The City We Want\, BarcelonaGuest: \nXavier Matilla. City Architect & Planner\, Professor.\nBarcelona\, Spain \nTuesday\, September 5th\, 2023\n11:00 AM EST/5:00 PM CET \nAbout: \nXavier Matilla was Chief Architect of the city of Barcelona between October 2019 – June 2023. During this period\, he has directed many urban transformations with the aim of achieving a healthier\, friendlier and fairer city. Highlight being the “Barcelona Superblock” project\, internationally recognized as an effective strategy to transform city streets into spaces with better environmental quality and more l ABOUT his presentation: At a time when cities need new urban models to approach the future with optimism\, Barcelona has shown that it is possible to move towards a healthier\, kinder and fairer city for it citizens thanks to the Superilla Project. Barcelona is a compact and dense city\, with a polycentric urban model\, but it has a significant deficit of green areas and a problem with its car-centered mobility model. Car use takes up more than 50% of public space and is also the main source of atmospheric and noise pollution. Superilla aims to improve all the city’s streets\, while proposing a new\, more efficient mobility model through promoting public transport\, cycling and walking\, so that it takes up less room\, is healthier and pollutes less. This allows 1 out of every 3 streets to be freed up from through traffic\, and to transform them into new “green axes” in such a way that they “naturalise” the city and promote local activities and social relationships\, constituting a true environmental and social infrastructure\, a true systemic change. During the last 4 years Xavi Matilla has promoted the project\, defining a vision of the future for the whole city and at the same time executing a phase with 4 new green axes (4.65 Km / 10Ha) and 4 new squares (1Ha) that allow to demonstrate that it is possible to move towards the city we want. \nLearn more and register here!

SUMMARY:Livable Cities Forum: From Intention to Implementation
DESCRIPTION:Most Canadian cities and towns were not built with a vision of a net zero\, resilient\, and sustainable future. So what does the transition to resilient\, equitable\, and livable communities look like? How can we embrace diversity and inclusion in the process? And\, ultimately\, how can we accelerate implementation to keep pace with challenges municipalities face? \nJoin ICLEI Canada from September 25 to 27 for the 2023 Livable Cities Forum (LCF) to explore these questions through the lens of “Intention to Implementation”. \nLearn more and register here!

SUMMARY:At the Crossroads: Annual Report and Convening on the State of Canada’s Cities
DESCRIPTION:Canada has led before\, regularly topping the global city lists for livability and vibrancy\, but to hold our own we need to demonstrate bold leadership with a clear vision\, which today’s political discourse makes challenging. Our city building community is a diverse one\, with highly accomplished urban planning and design professionals\, for profit and not-for-profit real estate development sectors\, corporate business leaders and institutional investors\, rigorous academics evaluating progress (or not)\, and community-based practitioners working on all aspects of urban resilience. \nTogether\, we need a common path. \nJoin the Canadian Urban Institute for this report launch and convening in Ottawa\, where we will help chart the next steps for urban Canada. \nRegister here!
