Symposium: Nested scales of urban form and green urban infrastructure

Welcome to the third Symposium on Social-Ecological Urbanism: Nested scales of urban form and green urban infrastructure
The role of urban form for making cities more liveable and inclusive and for mitigating climate change has received increased attention in recent years. A prime example of this is the concept of the 15-minute city, referring to a vision of the city where inhabitants can cover their daily needs within a 15-minute radius. Yet, urban processes play out over many nested scales, evoking questions about what the 5-minute, 30-minute, and 60-minute cities might be, and how these different nested scales interact.
Social-ecological urbanism is an emerging discourse on sustainable urban development, with a main focus on how urban form and green urban infrastructure can promote human well-being and resilient cities. The Third Symposium on Social-Ecological Urbanism is a full-day public event featuring invited speakers from all over Europe. This day will illuminate current research frontiers and knowledge gaps related to how urban form and urban green infrastructure at different scales can mitigate climate change, support human well-being and make cities resilient.
