🗣️“Volem que la recerca impacti en la governança; cal aterrar-la i apropar-la a qui pren decisions. És un repte institucional i cultural”

@juliaazpiroz.bsky.social exemplifica aquesta tasca al PEMB explicant @greenincities.bsky.social i jornada #Embarriados. Vols saber més?⤵️
La transferència de coneixement, clau per connectar recerca i presa de decisions a escala metropolitana
L’evidència científica pot esdevenir un motor per a la planificació urbana i ambiental i així s’ha demostrat amb les diverses intervencions de la taula rodona: ‘De la recerca a la presa de decisions’ organitzada pel Barcelona Supercomputing Center en el marc del 4t Congrés de la Qualitat de l’Aire que té lloc a Sabadell durant els dies 16 i 17 d’octubre. Julia Azpiroz, arquitecta urbanista membre del gabinet tècnic del Pla Estratègic Metropolità de Barcelona (PEMB) i referent de les missions ‘Emergència ambiental i climàtica’ i ‘Mobilitat sostenible i segura’ ha assegurat que “Cal identificar el coneixement existent al territori metropolità i transferir-lo als actors per promoure la presa de decisions informada”.

What if cities were designed not just for people, but also for trees, birds, fungi, and rivers?
Through co-design with experts, we’re working to:
– Integrate multispecies justice into planning
– Reframe infrastructure as living systems
– Support ecological connectivity in climate-neutral strategies
