Policy Brief: Translocal Learning
Cities need to be rapidly transformed in order to simultaneously improve sustainability and justice. This is particularly urgent in view of EU-wide ambitions like the European Green Deal. Learning from local urban initiatives will help accelerate the pace of change. However, translocal (intercity) learning efforts are not delivering the expected results.
Based on the University of Freiburg’s research on translocal learning for sustainable and just cities, European research and development funding schemes need to integrate better incentives and support for translocal knowledge sharing from local projects.
