INTERNATIONAL CONGRESS

CLIMATIC REGENERATION OF CITIES

 

7-8 June 2022

EC1 Łodz – ul. Targowa 1/3, Łodz, Poland

 


The 2nd Regeneration of Industrial Cities Congress will focus on policies and processes of urban regeneration seen through the lens of climate change adaptation. Regeneration is about discovering the usefulness of each component of productive potential under new conditions and integrating it appropriately into the productive and developmental cycle. It is a process in which, on the one hand, a new “grammar” of management emerges and, on the other hand, management shifts to a new developmental trajectory. Combining the concept of cities regeneration with climate change adaptation imposes a new perspective on urban transformation. It points to the evident necessity of taking a holistic view of urban development processes over the long term under entirely new and surprising conditions and challenges – not only climatic but also the increasingly powerful climate change-related local effects of globalised demographic and economic phenomena. The aims of the 2nd Congress is to share domestic and international experiences of cities that have taken action to adapt to climate change from different spatial, demographic, economic and environmental perspectives, and to formulate recommendations- addressed to the Polish spatial policy and multi-stakeholder urban policy – in terms of local adaptation strategies.
