GO GLOCAL: New joint project with Namibia University of Science and Technology to start in July 2021

The Chair of International Urbanism is pleased to announce the start of a new research project:
“Making global goals locally concrete! A learning network between Windhoek, Namibia, and Stuttgart, Baden-Württemberg, for integrated settlement planning and clean energy – GO GLOCAL”.

Project description
The joint project GO GLOCAL aims to establish a community of practice in an international framework, a unique learning network between Windhoek, Namibia, and Stuttgart, Baden-Württemberg. It seeks to identify ways of adapting climate-relevant Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) to the needs of the local level, while ensuring that civil society is heard on an equal footing. Co-productive approaches to SDG monitoring at local level will be tested combining both qualitative and quantitative data. Moreover, a new generation of practitioners will be trained in applying integrated and co-productive planning approaches through innovative learning and teaching formats.
