We facilitated an online training on Sustainable Urban Planning & Development for nearly 200 participants from South and Southeast Asia as part of the CRIC project ( www.resilient-cities.com ). In six sessions, topics such as SDGs, NUA, Economic Prosperity, Environmental Sustainability, Social Inclusiveness, and Good Governance were covered.

Introduction

The first shorter session introduces the trainers, speakers, and participants, explains the supporting materials, the structure and rules of the course, highlights the learning objectives and initiates the contextualisation of Sustainable Urban Development though the SDGs, NUA, and more.

Economic Prosperity of Cities & Regions

The second module focuses on the economic dimension. It covers principles of regional and metropolitan planning for sustainability; leveraging resources, economic potential and improving competitiveness through urban networks; as well as smart city approaches including the use of data analytics, blockchain and AI to improve cost efficiencies and promote a "systems approach" to water, energy and waste. Lastly, it presents innovative approaches to financing urban development, including resource mobilisation, land management, expenditure control, partnerships, land-value capture, etc.

Planning for Climate Action & Urban Environment

The third module focuses on environmental sustainability and covers topics such as land use planning and management as a means of promoting more compact, mixed-use and transit-oriented development (TOD) and climate proofing the city. Further topics entail redesigning urban infrastructure, public spaces and facilities to adapt to climate change, as well as protecting and enhancing urban biodiversity through integrated approaches to the urban-rural continuum, parks, gardens, watersheds and water bodies, urban and peri-urban agriculture and gardening. Lastly, implications of the circular economy on the land-use planning and the design of infrastructure and services are elaborated.

Inequality & Poverty Reduction

The first module focuses on the social dimension. It covers strategic planning including participatory goal setting and visioning, the role of urban planning and management in promoting social inclusion, urban safety, gender equality, local economic development and environmental sustainability. Furthermore, cross-cutting issues are raised, such as improving access and accessibility to basic infrastructure and services including water, sanitation, waste management, health and educational services. Lastly, planning for inclusive mobility and safe and accessible public spaces complement the session.

Good Governance for Sustainable Development

The final thematic session focusses on the overlap between sustainability, planning, and governance. Discussed topics include the principles of risk assessment and mitigation, e.g. know-your-city audits; inclusive and adapted urban planning and management, integrating and highlighting needs of vulnerable communities and developing appropriate and tailored approaches; innovative approaches to housing for low-income and vulnerable groups; land and property rights for displaced peoples; access to basic services for all, and SME development. Lastly, it emphasises the role of participatory planning, design and community engagement on, e.g. urban safety and resilience.

SUSTAINABLE, HEALTHY CITIES- (RE)-BUILDING FOR THE FUTURE

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
This 12-day programme will ask students to explore the potential to learn from the past, as well as from present technologies and practice, in order to design healthier cities for the future; and to retro-fit today's urban spaces to cater for new challenges that may evolve. Cities and their residents will continue to face unforeseen sudden shocks, and emerging stresses across the range of environmental, social and economic contexts. While the aftermath of the COVID-19 crisis will not dominate the studio's learning and teaching focus, the classes and debates will provide a space in which to reflect on how urban populations, and practitioners engaged in the built environment, have contended with pandemics and health crises in the past. A key emphasis of the programme will be a focus on Venice, the city itself, exploring how artists, architects, urban developers and denizens have responded to regenerate the built environment, and everyday urban living.

For the first time in human history, more than fifty percent of the world's population lives in urban areas. Cities allow for the exchange of ideas, and generate remarkable innovations in business, art, and ideas. Cities are also home to millions living in poverty. Urban living can provide a pathway to a better life, but that's not always the case for many people around the world.

CitiesX will give you a far-ranging look at the past, present and future of cities, with the aim of teaching you how to better understand, appreciate and improve urban areas. The course will explore key concepts of urban development by examining cities around the world, including London, Rio de Janeiro, New York City, Shanghai, Mumbai, Kigali, and many more.

The course includes a historical exploration of cities: how urban centers like ancient Rome resulted from consolidation of imperial power, how cities like Sao Paulo grew as important hotbeds of industry, and how cities like Seattle became hubs of technology and human capital.

CitiesX also dives into pressing social and urban planning issues like public health, transportation, zoning, gentrification, cost of living, crime, and congestion. The course includes interviews and insights from academics, policy makers, urban leaders and city residents.

The analytical framework of the course comes from economics, but is enhanced by conversations with experts from other disciplines (including Sociology, Urban Planning, Journalism, Anthropology, History, Art & Music) to provide learners with a greater understanding of all aspects of urbanism.

Support for CitiesX is generously provided by Tishman Speyer.

This 5-week introductory course is for those who would like to explore and be fascinated by vernacular architecture - the subject and study of everyday buildings, landscapes and sites which are not designed by professional architects but "ordinary" practitioners. It explores vernacular architecture as an expression of local identity, indigenous traditions, and assimilation of different cultures.

This course covers topics such as native building materials, the interaction between people, culture and the vernacular, as well as the vernacular landscape. It has a special emphasis on the built heritage of Asia, which allows students to take a closer look at examples in diverse locales, such as the leather yurts in Mongolia, timber houses in Japan, brick, mud and straw houses in India, reinforced concrete fortified towers and grey brick courtyard houses in Southern China including Macau and Hong Kong.

Designed to promote discussion and dialogue while contributing to the discourse surrounding the concept of the vernacular, this course challenges the perception of tradition and stimulates a deeper analysis of one's local environment. Indeed, we are keen to hear about how you link your new understanding to vernacular architecture in your neighborhood.

Those who wish to extend their experience and exploration please also join our subsequent 5-week course The Search for Vernacular Architecture of Asia, Part 2 in Summer 2015.

本入门课程为期5周，适合本土建筑爱好者。本土建筑的研究对象是普通日常建筑、景观以及场所。它们并非出自建筑师之手，而是由普通人自己建造。在本课程中，我们将民居建筑视作不同地区的"社区认同"和"本地传统"以及不同文化融合的一种表达方式。

课程内容包括建筑技术和建筑材料、人与文化和传统、 以及本土建筑与景观。本课程以亚洲建筑文化遗产为实例，供学生深入学习，其中包括蒙古地区的蒙古包、日本的木结构房屋、印度的土屋、中国南方澳门与香港一带以钢筋混凝土为建筑材料的塔楼和灰砖庭院。

本课程旨在以讨论和对话的方式研究亚洲的本土建筑，推动本土概念的发展。在此之上，本课程反思了"传统"这个概念，使我们能够更加深入地分析自身所处的环境。我们期待能够听到一些您对本土建筑的新理解。

感兴趣的学生可以参加《探索亚洲地区的民居建筑，第2部分》。

Reduction of energy consumption of buildings is an important step in the move towards a sustainable economy. How can buildings be made net zero energy, in different climates?

This course introduces you to zero energy design. It will teach you a stepped approach to design a zero energy climate concept for existing buildings: homes, schools, offices, shops etc. It will demonstrate how an integrated approach, which takes into account both passive measures (such as thermal insulation and sun shading) and active measures (such as heat pumps and photovoltaic panels), can deliver the best results.

It will do so by providing you with an overview of possible measures, and through reviewing several case studies of zero energy buildings in the Netherlands, with lessons for other climates as well. Thus, you will learn which measures are most suitable for individual buildings under local climate conditions.

This course is for anyone interested in making buildings more energy efficient, who already possess basic technical knowledge.

EASA 2020 events

The unconventional EASA 2020 programme is a collection of happenings, workshops and gatherings taking place across Europe and the virtual realm. Due to the raging pandemic travelling across the globe, a singular, big event turned out impossible to organize. So the community came together and instead of cancelling EASA 2020 all together regrouped and took initiative by developing more local events.

National Gatherings are local events organized by the EASA countries. Looking at more local issues, the teams have taken on the roles of an organizer, tutor and participant. Some National Gatherings have slots for the international community.

There are a wide array of workshops, virtual gatherings and talks (just like any EASA event). Some fully virtual, some divided between international community and local gatherings. Each workshop has a different approach to participation, so make sure to get acquainted with them and exactly how you can participate in the event.
