On October 12, Centrinno, HUB-IN and T-Factor will host a participatory session to discuss and share insights on how the regeneration of Historic Urban Areas can play a key role to achieve Climate Neutral Cities in Europe. The event is co-organised with the European Research Executive Agency and DG-RTD as part of the European Week of Regions and Cities, the biggest annual Brussels-based event dedicated to cohesion policy in Europe’s regions and cities.
During the session, Centrinno, HUB-IN and T-Factor will present a joint new policy report and will share policy recommendations and insights learnt from the three Horizon 2020 projects. After that, representatives from three Mission Cities, Milan, Dortmund and Lisbon, will join the discussion on the main challenges in Climate Neutral City Contracts (CCC), focused on creative spaces, temporary uses and heritage revitalisation.
The discussion will take form as a thematic world-café with peer-learning exercises in order to exchange insights related to climate and circular economy policies with the experiences of Milan, Dortmund and Lisbon.
