The “Reimagining Cities: Urban Sustainability Transitions” Webinar series"
The “Reimagining Cities: Urban Sustainability Transitions” webinar series explored urban sustainability and the role of cities in addressing climate change. As urban areas generate approximately 70 percent of global greenhouse gas emissions, municipalities around the world are implementing innovative solutions such as 15-minute cities, pedestrianization projects, urban ecological corridors, and green transportation initiatives. The series aimed to bring together IPC’s research on urbanization, local governance, and climate change by examining how municipalities initiate, develop, and scale sustainability projects, sometimes in collaboration with and sometimes in tension with civil society actors. Drawing on global examples, the discussions offered insights for local authorities and civil society organizations in Türkiye working toward more sustainable and equitable urban futures.
