Realising Liveable Cities and Sustainable Urban Developments

We have all year celebrated Copenhagen as the European Green Capital 2014. Today at the concluding conference 200 delegates - decision-makers, business leaders and civil society organisations - met and debated sustainable urban developments.

A great day with great inputs and cases from the Arctic to the Middle East and many perspectives on liveability and sustainability.

The four dimensions of sustainability mean that we always have to consider the social and economic aspects of the solutions or physical structures we want to implement.

The four dimensions help us realise that success also resides in the power to implement by gaining commitment from all the many different stakeholders who make our cities live and thrive.

To succeed in implementing sustainable solutions cities need strategies and policymaking to handle prioritisation and guide investments. Cities also need competence in how to drive processes and manage change in order to engage stakeholders and ensure long term durability.

Copenhagen can demonstrate exactly this holistic approach with strong competences on the whole value chain.
