The #CitiesAreListening Experiences Towards the renewal of our Town Hall Local and regional governments have understood that the world that we are living in after the pandemic will never be the same. The road towards a “better normal” must consider those that care for our communities’ wellbeing as essential themes, and they need to be co-created with all stakeholders.
As an Equality driven movement, UCLG is determined to place communities, and the more vulnerable among them, at the core of urban planning. With the aim to breach territorial and urban inequalities, and transform the narratives around who cities are designed for, these themes are set to become an integral part of the Pact for People axis of the Pact for the Future that UCLG has been mandated to develop. The #CitiesAreListening process aims at bringing to life the UCLG Decalogue for the COVID era, and builds on our work with partners and the Town Hall Process initiated in Durban. Within the framework of the 2nd UN Global Sustainable Transport Conference, UCLG and UITP organized a CitiesAreListening on “Increasing quality of life for people and for planet via sustainable urban mobility” to address the linkages between mobility and achieving sustainable development in the recovery with a special focus on the ecological transition and climate change, and social inclusion and equitable access to opportunities. The session helped ensure representation of the constituency within the framework of the official conference activities.
