Co-creation activities in Messina towards shared urban mobility solutions | European Week of Regions and Cities | 2022 General Assemblies |
The activities related to co-creation in URBANITE project are mainly performed through what we call SoPoLabs (Social Policy Labs) which see the involvement of the stakeholders which revolve around urban mobility. In Messina SoPoLabs have brought stakeholders and policy makers to discuss about common issues, in order to find shared solutions on urban mobility for the Municipality. Since the start of the URBANITE project, three SoPoLabs have been held and they have brought interesting results. | The European Week of Regions and Cities, organised by the European Commission and the European Committee of the Regions, is the biggest annual event dedicated to cohesion policy. It has grown to become a unique communication and networking platform, bringing together regions and cities from all over Europe, including politicians, administrators, experts and academics. | During 2022, 4 General Assemblies were held, the first on a virtual/on-line format, the rest F2F. The 6th Online General Assembly was focus on the data management platform and the functionalities and challenges from the simulation and analysis perspective, and the GAP analysis VS use case scenarios. The 7th GA was held in Bilbao, hosted by TECNALIA, and focus on the second version of the URABNITE Ecosystem and pilot instances. |
