The UrbanA Challenge

Have you taken the #UrbanAChallenge? We want your voice on the UrbanA Podcast. Answer the question ‘What is a sustainable and just city?’ in a maximum of 3 minutes and either send it to us on twitter, email, or simply send an audio message (Signal, Whatsapp, Viber) to 36306586410.

Our 12 podcasts about #SustainableJustCities are in our Knowledge Commons (wiki). If your 3 minute message is selected, you will appear as an urban arena podcast correspondent in our upcoming podcasts.

Things to keep in mind when recording — choose a quiet place (get in a cupboard, climb under your blanket!); turn off fans, TVs and phones; listen to your recording possibilities (is it better via phone or with mic?).

• UrbanA Podcasts

The UrbanA project aims, through a series of 4 Arena events: synthesize and broker knowledge generated by prior research and innovation projects; translate this knowledge into action; empower participants to apply this knowledge locally; facilitate interaction among diverse people; and influence policies in favour of sustainable and just cities. It was funded by the European Union’s Horizon 2020 research and innovation programme.

Urban Arena Podcasts form a series of critical conversations with activists, entrepreneurs, intellectuals and policy-makers in different European cities who are working, in complimentary and conflicting ways, to create cities that respond to the twin challenges of justice and sustainability.
