Summary

Through a facilitated discussion in a workshop format, participants will together explore and learn about implementation strategies and measures for the transformation of policy and practice in different regional contexts. The event contributes to developing adapted transformative roadmaps to get us from our current practice to the required built and urban environment 2030 scenario with the UN SDGs achieved. Beneficiaries are experts from various fields connected to the Built Environment.

Objectives

The participants will develop an understanding (a scenario) of what the built and urban environment would be like if the UN SDGs were met in 2030.
Learning objectives:
- Rethink approaches to processes and methods concerning buildings and urban development.
- Identify and respond to barriers and successes of strategic change related to the implementation of the SDGs in the built environment.
- Encourage cities and local communities to develop Voluntary Local Reviews of SDG progress
