IPPO Cities is bringing together city policymakers and urban net zero expertise from across continents at a policy roundtable to discuss their experiences, successes, and challenges in striving for net zero. This briefing note builds on this work by focusing on city-level solutions. By Henriette Ruhrmann.
IPPO Cities convened a policy roundtable discussing different approaches for cities to cultivate social capital. The panellists demonstrate across three case studies from London, Liverpool, and Athens showing how measuring and investing in social capital and coordinating and co-creating with volunteers can strengthen urban communities. By Henriette Ruhrmann.
The question of what constitutes ‘good’ city policy and how this can be achieved has been present as an undercurrent throughout much of IPPO Cities' work to date, from discussions on the engagement of stakeholders in shaping policy priorities to reflections on innovative methods of monitoring and reporting on policy outcomes. In this session, we take the opportunity to step back and reflect more on some higher-level questions.
