Smart Edge in Bucharest
| Subject: International Relations
Project for the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions
The second workshop of the SmartEdge project, which studies the potential to reduce greenhouse emissions by creating small cities within metropolitan areas, was held on 3 April 2019.
The theme of the workshop held in Bucharest was tools and methods for participative planning in metropolitan areas and edge cities, exchanging experiences and best practices and facilitating learning between different members. The Environmental Department and some expert technicians from the Urban Planning Department presented Barcelona's new Directive Plan on behalf of the AMB. Not only were technicians from the administration present at the workshop but Raons Públiques an urbanism, architecture and participation cooperative from Barcelona presented metropolitan projects: participative urban plans for Sant Feliu de Llobregat and the Imagina Badia project for Badia del Vallès.
Small cities within metropolitan areas
Edge cities are an integral part of the existing metropolitan fabric and can become laboratories for smart, green, economic solutions in the low carbon economy. The overall objective of the project is to improve low carbon economy policies in edge cities and their metropolitan regions.
The next workshop will be held in Brandenburg, Berlin, on 23 September 2019.
The SmartEdge project is part of the Interreg Europe program Interreg Europe.
