Transition towards urban sustainability through socially integrative cities in the EU and in China The TRANS-URBAN-EU-CHINA p ... roject, funded by the European Union from 2018 until 2020, was launched at a two-day conference in Dresden at the end of January 2018. Coordinated by the Leibniz Institute of Ecological Urban and Regional Development (IOER) and the Chinese Academy of Urban Planning and Design, the 14 partners from Europe and China are investigating ways of making cities more sustainable. In this work, the project team is focussing on the role of social integration within processes of sustainable urbanisation. The key objective of TRANS-URBAN-EU-CHINA is to exchange knowledge between policy mak-ers, urban authorities, real estate developers, public service providers and citizens in China and Europe to create socially integrative cities in an environmentally friendly and financially viable way. Moreover, it will help urban stakeholders in Europe to reflect and eventually re-consider their approaches towards sustainable urbanisation. In order to achieve the main objective, the project will develop a systematic knowledge base on transition experiences in Europe and China in a comparative way; advance tools and measures to support transition in cooperation with local stakeholders and citizens, and elaborate related recommendations to support transition towards socially integrative cities. read more
