The document discusses the purpose and goals of the KAIRÓS Network project. The project aims to address urban environmental challenges in partner cities by using cultural heritage and tourism to promote social and economic revitalization of degraded historic areas. It will work to conserve cultural/natural spaces and engage local communities and stakeholders to develop sustainable cultural eco-tourism. This will improve cities' cultural assets, increase visitors, and benefit residents through new employment and social inclusion opportunities while achieving sustainability goals. The partner cities have significant cultural heritage in need of regeneration to attract residents and tourists alike.
The document outlines 10 key messages for handling cultural heritage in small and medium historic towns. The messages stress: 1) Cultural heritage provides attractiveness and identity for cities. 2) Preservation, rehabilitation, and renovation of existing heritage is key. 3) The public sector plays a lead role in revitalizing historic areas through investments and planning. Citizen participation and public-private partnerships are also important for support. Sustainability and quality are primary goals for cultural heritage renewal.
Dr Beatriz Garcia presented on measuring the cultural impact of Liverpool being named the European Capital of Culture in 2008. She outlined a holistic model for assessing impact across economic, social, cultural and other dimensions. Research found impacts including increased tourism, growth in the creative industries, improved perceptions of Liverpool nationally and internationally, and higher levels of cultural participation, especially in deprived communities. Key lessons included the need to document impact over the long term, use both quantitative and qualitative data, and share knowledge to benefit future cultural programs.
Researching the Impact and Legacy of a European Capital of CultureBeatriz Garcia
The document summarizes research on the impact of Liverpool's year as the 2008 European Capital of Culture. Key findings include a 34% growth in visitors since 2007, with 9.7 million additional visits and £754 million in direct visitor spending. Cultural participation increased, including above average attendance from ethnic minorities, youth, and lower socioeconomic groups. The year also helped reposition Liverpool's image and grow its cultural infrastructure and creative sector.
Global mega-events such as the Olympic Games have a worldwide impact thanks to their positioning as media-events gathering multi-billion audiences across all continents. However, such events will fail to provide sustainable local legacies if their mediated dimension is not complemented by a festive use of the street enabling localised ‘lived experiences’ to coexist with the internationally mediated experience.
The integrated strategic agenda for Kavala (2030) represents a planning document designed by the URBASOFIA team together with international experts (Derek Martin, Cristina Tartari - TASCA Studio, Joep de Roo - Eurodite, Daniela Patti, Levente Polyak) for the city of Kavala, Greece, through the South East Europe project STATUS.
The document outlines Kavala's strategic agenda to promote sustainable and inclusive growth. It identifies several priority projects, including developing the city's platform of public spaces, mobility plan, waterfront renewal, establishing an entrepreneurship platform, strengthening Kavala's brand, and improving eastern access. The strategic agenda will be implemented through the Kavala Urban Center and Urban Task Force, leveraging funding from EU, national, regional and private sources to realize an integrated place-based approach and coordinated management of Kavala's urban transformation.
The Congress for the New Urbanism views issues like sprawl, segregation, environmental damage, and loss of heritage as interconnected problems. They advocate for restoring existing city centers, reconfiguring suburbs into walkable neighborhoods, and conserving natural environments through public policy and development practices. This includes designing communities that are pedestrian-friendly, transit-accessible, and promote diversity through mixed-use development and affordable housing options distributed throughout regions.

The Congress for the New Urbanism views disinvestment in central cities, the
spread of placeless sprawl, increasing separation by race and income, environmental
deterioration, loss of agricultural lands and wilderness, and the erosion of society’s
built heritage as one interrelated community-building challenge.
We stand for the restoration of existing urban centers and towns within coherent
metropolitan regions, the reconfiguration of sprawling suburbs into communities of
real neighborhoods and diverse districts, the conservation of natural environments,
and the preservation of our built legacy.
We advocate the restructuring of public policy and development practices to
support the following principles: neighborhoods should be diverse in use and
population; communities should be designed for the pedestrian and transit as well
as the car; cities and towns should be shaped by physically defined and universally
accessible public spaces and community institutions; urban places should be framed
by architecture and landscape design that celebrate local history, climate, ecology,
and building practice.
We recognize that physical solutions by themselves will not solve social and economic
problems, but neither can economic vitality, community stability, and environmental
health be sustained without a coherent and supportive physical framework.
We represent a broad-based citizenry, composed of public and private sector
leaders, community activists, and multidisciplinary professionals. We are committed
to reestablishing the relationship between the art of building and the making
of community, through citizen-based participatory planning and design.
We dedicate ourselves to reclaiming our homes, blocks, streets, parks, neighborhoods,
districts, towns, cities, regions, and environment.

Task 9 Kajang Local Plan For Sustainable Development (a133921)izham27
This document presents a proposed local plan for sustainable development in Kajang, Malaysia. It aims to produce a self-reliant town with a higher quality of living. The plan addresses objectives of maintaining economic growth, promoting social progress, protecting the environment, and using natural resources prudently. It proposes developing vibrant mixed-use centres and corridors connected by improved public transportation including bus rapid transit, an expanded subway system, and trams. It also recommends strategies like car sharing to minimize environmental impacts from increased travel demands. The plan emphasizes integrating land use and transportation planning, as well as prioritizing pedestrians, cyclists, public transit, and sustainable private transport options.
This document is a declaration for an integrated revitalization of historic centers signed by 32 partners from 12 Central and Southeast European countries. It recognizes that small and medium-sized historic towns are important for Europe's identity, diversity, and balanced development, but face challenges from globalization and changes. The partners commit to applying integrated strategies that balance heritage preservation with enabling future development, economic and social issues, and increasing attractiveness. They call on regional, national, and European decision-makers to support these efforts through policies, programs, and cooperation that recognize the value of cultural heritage and integrated local approaches.
This document discusses green urbanism principles and their absence in Cairo's urban planning and public spaces. It summarizes that Cairo has experienced uncontrolled growth that has prioritized development for affluent groups over sustainable environments for all. This has negatively impacted public spaces by focusing them on consumption and heavy investment rather than accessibility. The paper then examines green urbanism principles like renewable energy, waste reduction, and livability to propose applying them through new design processes and scale-specific solutions to revitalize Cairo's public spaces and achieve a more sustainable urban model.
Study on Tourism and Intangible Cultural Heritage Summary Dr Lendy Spires
Why Tourism & Intangible Cultural Heritage? UNWTO Study on Tourism and Intangible Cultural Heritage Intangible Cultural Heritage is embodied in those practices, expressions, knowledge, and skills, as well as in associated objects and cultural spaces, that communities and individuals recognize as part of their cultural heritage. Transmitted through generations and constantly recreated, it provides humanity with a sense of identity and continuity.* This global wealth of traditions has become one of the principal motivations for travel, with tourists seeking to engage with new cultures and experience the global variety of performing arts, handicrafts, rituals, cuisines, and interpretations of nature and the universe.
As celebrated on World Tourism Day 2011, ‘Tourism – Linking Cultures’, the cultural interaction spurred by such encounters prompts dialogue, builds understanding, and, in turn, fosters tolerance and peace. One of the challenges currently facing the tourism sector is to contribute to the identification, protection and safeguarding of intangible cultural heritage through tourism development. Fostering the responsible use of this living heritage for tourism purposes can provide new employment opportunities, help alleviate poverty, curb rural flight migration among the young and marginally-employed, and nurture a sense of pride among communities.
Tourism also offers a powerful incentive for preserving and enhancing intangible cultural heritage, as the revenue it generates can be channelled back into initiatives to aid its long-term survival. Intangible cultural heritage must be thoughtfully managed if it is to survive in an increasingly globalised world. True partnerships between communities and the tourism and heritage sectors can only occur if all sides develop a genuine appreciation for each other’s aspirations and values.
The document provides a national strategy for revitalizing deteriorated and underutilized urban areas in Iran. It begins with introducing the strategy's vision of improving living standards and socioeconomic conditions in target neighborhoods equal to city averages. It then outlines seven central goals and eight strategies to achieve this vision, which include strategies like coordinating revitalization efforts, addressing real estate and capital market failures, and improving economic and social conditions for residents. The document concludes by proposing two means to realize the strategy: a national taskforce to create synergy among government initiatives and provincial taskforces to coordinate plans at the local level.
Adaptive Reuse of Cultural Heritage_Synthesis Report_MARCH2020_web.pdftrazojoseph67
This report summarizes findings from 16 international case studies examining circular governance models for the adaptive reuse of cultural heritage sites. The case studies explored three custodianship models: public custodian where a public entity owns and manages the site; community custodian where community actors manage the site owned by a public entity; and private custodian for the common good where private entities collaborate with public/third sector actors to preserve a heritage asset. The circular governance approach aims for transparency, accountability, collaboration, and inclusion of diverse stakeholders to foster shared long-term responsibility for cultural heritage through iterative processes. Defining roles and an owner-manager relationship is key to realizing adaptive reuse projects through these governance models.
The document discusses the Eco2 Cities initiative, which aims to help cities in developing countries achieve greater ecological and economic sustainability through integrated urban planning and management. It provides examples of six cities - Curitiba, Brazil; Stockholm, Sweden; Singapore; Yokohama, Japan; Brisbane, Australia; and Auckland, New Zealand - that have implemented various sustainable practices. It also outlines some of the challenges faced in applying these approaches in developing country contexts, such as limited resources, institutional barriers, and dependence on outdated models of urban planning. The document concludes by providing "stepping stones" or recommendations for cities to begin adapting the Eco2 principles to their local needs and contexts.
The document discusses the evolution of tourism planning since World War 2 from a state-oriented approach to a more regional and systems-based approach. It also discusses how tourism can benefit local communities economically and socially if planned carefully, but uncontrolled development can lead to false expectations. Finally, it stresses the importance of community involvement in tourism planning through various consultation methods to develop robust plans that consider local impacts and create recognizable tourism destinations.

Q1:
For this question, we will focus on a comparison and contrast of early American civilization creation stories, specifically the Aztec creation stories, with the European creation story from Christianity. What we want to compare are the ideas about the relationship between God and humanity as depicted through art. It's not necessary to retell the stories in this discussion. We will all have read the material. Focus on similarities and differences in the meaning of the stories. How does each civilization view the creator and creation? the roles of women? the relationship between humanity and the divine?

The multiple challenges that cities face also represent a strategic opportunity to build sustainable cities
and reap the benefits of rapid urbanization. Urban de
velopment should be understood as a balanced and inclusive
development of four pillars: economic de ve lopment, social
development, environmental management and urban
governance. The enabling mechanisms include an integrated
investment on green industrial transformation, improved
public infrastructure, access to and efficient use of social
services, effective urban governance, and the protection and
management of natural resources.
About 6.25 billion people would be living in urban cen

ample, African cities would house over 1 billion people, which
would be three times the figure of urban North America, twice
the figure of Latin America and the Caribbean or Europe, and
comparable to China’s urban population at that time. In many
cities of developing countries the main challenge would then
be how to provide adequate public services and job opportuni
ties to residents, including marginalized populations in mega
cities. In addition, the adverse impact of social inequalities on
human health and the environment can multiply when we
factor the adverse effects of ‘natural’ disasters. The incidence of

L’atelier En route vers Oaxaca – Document officielCláudio Carneiro
This document is a submission for a project called "Évora's Public Use Plan" to the On the Way to Oaxaca workshop held by the Organization of World Heritage Cities. The project is led by Nuno Domingos of the Municipality of Évora in Portugal and seeks to develop Évora's capacity for participatory public use planning. Specifically, it aims to create a long-term public use plan through stakeholder engagement, improve coordination among the city's tourism entities, develop the skills of municipal staff, and foster organizational learning and decision-making within the local stakeholder community. The project addresses Évora's lack of an integrated public use management strategy due to its dispersed tourism responsibilities across different institutions.

L’atelier En route vers Oaxaca – Document officielCláudio Carneiro
This document is a submission for a project called "Évora's Public Use Plan" to the On the Way to Oaxaca workshop held by the Organization of World Heritage Cities. The project is led by Nuno Domingos of the Municipality of Évora in Portugal and seeks to develop Évora's capacity for participatory public use planning. Specifically, it aims to create a long-term public use plan through stakeholder engagement, improve coordination among the city's tourism entities, develop the skills of municipal staff, and foster organizational learning and decision-making within the local stakeholder community. The project addresses Évora's lack of an integrated public use management strategy due to its dispersed tourism responsibilities across different institutions.

This document discusses a gathering workshop for the DIFE IKMS from January 15-18, 2017 in Savar. It discusses how collecting data through inspection visits can provide relevant information to various organizations about working conditions. An effective information and knowledge management system allows updated regular information to help identify needs, trends, and challenges. The collected data can identify patterns across sectors, regions, and enterprises to help map risks and prioritize limited resources. The document also discusses measuring inspector productivity and outputs, focusing inspection resources on high-risk enterprises, and detailed planning considerations for inspections.
The Labour Inspection Management Application (LIMA) is a web and mobile application developed to manage Bangladesh's Department of Inspection for Factories and Establishments (DIFE). LIMA has four main modules: 1) a factory/establishment database, 2) a labour inspection system, 3) an occupational safety and health system, and 4) a DIFE management information system. The application aims to facilitate factory registration and inspection, case management, safety committees, accident reporting, and provide management reports. Key features include inspection scheduling and checklists, a searchable factory directory, and an employee personnel management system. Implementation priorities are increasing factory registrations and mandatory inspector use of LIMA's inspection features by September
The document summarizes a study visit by Mongolian officials to Spain to learn about Spain's employment policies and systems.

This document discusses principles and phases of preventive action for occupational safety and health (OSH). It outlines key international conventions and directives on OSH, including establishing national OSH policies, providing guidance to employers and workers, and including OSH training at all education levels. The principles of risk evaluation, preventive planning, and organizing adequate resources like qualified OSH staff are explained. Effective inspection and monitoring systems require upgrading institutions, training staff, coordinating between organizations, and developing OSH tools. A successful process involves commitment from all concerned parties.
The document summarizes discussions from a Kairós kick-off meeting focused on establishing Urbact Local Groups. Key points include:
- Urbact promotes an integrated and participatory approach to solving complex urban issues through transnational exchange and learning.
- Local groups are required to co-produce integrated action plans with input from stakeholders in culture, tourism, social services and more.
- Exercises helped cities identify potential local group members and consider their influence, as well as actions for action plans and strengths/weaknesses of forming local groups.
- Local coordinators will organize meetings, oversee action plan production and reporting, and facilitate local group involvement in transnational activities.
This document provides an overview and guide to project-based learning (PBL). It defines PBL, discusses when to use it, conditions that support it, and research supporting its effectiveness. PBL engages students in learning knowledge and skills by working for an extended period of time to investigate and respond to an authentic, engaging and complex question, problem, or challenge. It is most effective when students have voice and choice, work with others, and produce a public product or presentation. Conditions that support PBL include a safe classroom environment, personalized learning, collaborative work, and involvement of community partners. Research shows PBL can boost achievement and help students develop skills like problem-solving that transfer beyond school.

Suzanne Lagerweij - Influence Without Power - Why Empathy is Your Best Friend...Suzanne Lagerweij
This is a workshop about communication and collaboration. We will experience how we can analyze the reasons for resistance to change (exercise 1) and practice how to improve our conversation style and be more in control and effective in the way we communicate (exercise 2).
This session will use Dave Gray’s Empathy Mapping, Argyris’ Ladder of Inference and The Four Rs from Agile Conversations (Squirrel and Fredrick).
Abstract:
Let’s talk about powerful conversations! We all know how to lead a constructive conversation, right? Then why is it so difficult to have those conversations with people at work, especially those in powerful positions that show resistance to change?
Learning to control and direct conversations takes understanding and practice.
We can combine our innate empathy with our analytical skills to gain a deeper understanding of complex situations at work. Join this session to learn how to prepare for difficult conversations and how to improve our agile conversations in order to be more influential without power. We will use Dave Gray’s Empathy Mapping, Argyris’ Ladder of Inference and The Four Rs from Agile Conversations (Squirrel and Fredrick).
In the session you will experience how preparing and reflecting on your conversation can help you be more influential at work. You will learn how to communicate more effectively with the people needed to achieve positive change. You will leave with a self-revised version of a difficult conversation and a practical model to use when you get back to work.
Come learn more on how to become a real influencer!

1.1 The purpose of Kairós
KAIRÓS Network will address the policy challenge of improving the urban environment of the
involved cities by developing social and economic alternatives in degraded historic areas using
the cultural and touristic values of the city as a tool for economic and social revitalization.
KAIRÓS`s engine wants to propel sustainable change, from decaying and degraded heritage
assets and urban areas to regeneration and valorization of neglected or forgotten areas and
assets. It will enhance the urban cultural and natural heritage of historical parts of cities in decay
by developing social and economic strategies tailored for small and medium cities while
reinforcing social cohesion and inclusion.
The network will support the conservation and renovation of cultural heritage/landscape and
natural spaces around historic areas as a tool to engage and work with local community and
relevant stakeholders, including women and groups under risk of social exclusion to jointly turn
the weakness of these spaces into an opportunity for sustainable cultural eco-tourism creating
culturally pleasant cities to live in. Through these types of strategies, KAIRÓS aims to increase
the number of visitors in cities attracted by their cultural heritage, improving the state of
conservation of buildings and places of cultural interest, mitigating problems of urban and
environmental decline.
Degraded urban areas with historic and cultural values are valuable resources from the economic-
social and environmental point of view and will be at the core of the interventions to protect,
develop and rethink them in order to benefit the whole community on a sustainable basis. The
project will be rooted in a profitable exchange among local-regional authorities, citizens, cultural
and educational institutions and the private sector, supporting the diversification of the local
economy and sustainable cultural tourism in those degraded areas to boost local employment
and social inclusion while accomplishing the 11th SDG “Sustainable Cities and Communities”.
Kairós partners will work for introducing socially and environmentally innovative solutions going
far beyond simple conservation, restoration, physical rehabilitation or repurposing of a site to
demonstrate heritage potential as a powerful economic, social and environmental catalyst for
regeneration, sustainable development, economic growth and improvement of people’s well-
being and living environments.
KAIRÓS intends to propose the setup of a participatory-bottom up approaches to design and
implement new policies to revert the degradation process in the areas of intervention. This will
imply to take actions to improve existing public spaces and cultural heritage/landscape as new
touristic resource towards urban regeneration, which ultimately will increase the quality of life of
the beneficiary citizens while increasing the attractiveness of cities. The actions will have a
positive impact on tourism related services (local commerce, crafts, hotels and restaurants,
cultural services, travel agencies and tour operators, etc. can benefit from the resulting economic
diversification), thus generating added-value employment opportunities. Kairós is guided by a
new heritage-led urban regeneration paradigm, up-scalable and replicable, which is able to offer
new products and services, reduced regulative and administrative barriers, innovative
governance (trans-disciplinary and participatory approaches) and promoting citizens’
engagement and new local skills and jobs.
Clustering and network activities will be supported to build bridges between various stakeholders:
tourism related activities, Culture Creative Industries (CCIs), academia, public bodies, companies
and investors. Each one will bring in its specific expertise and the resulting alliances produced by
Kairós’s network might grow into long-term partnerships or mergers, thus contributing to
sustainability. Strong clusters between enterprises and citizens, supported by local authorities,
will increase the opportunities for companies to do business with social acceptance and
responsibility.
1.2 The Kairós cities
2. 2
KAIROSshortoverview
KAIRÓS partners have an important cultural heritage, concentrated in their historic centers, which
is undergoing processes of urban and social degradation although been a valuable cultural asset
able to attract cultural eco-friendly tourism.
KAIRÓS will analyse how the various dimensions of urban life – environmental, economic, social
and cultural – are interwoven, especially in historic and cultural urban areas. These type of urban
areas have fewer facilities than what is required by modern cities (e.g. lacking green or open
areas, greater difficulties to access or benefit from municipal services, stringent requirements for
the renovation of listed buildings, small presence of shops and commerce, difficulties to access
to – and not only, persons with disabilities, etc.) and are suffering from population decline while
groups under risk of social inclusion with low income are becoming the main inhabitants.
Partners from the network are cities of a small or medium size, so that the problems they are
facing have special and shared characteristics: historical areas that are abandoned because local
population prefer to live in moderner parts of the city; lack of funding to regenerate heritage that
doesn’t have currently a proper use; local authorities giving priority for the first time to touristic
promotion of heritage, etc. ; and the needs they have are shared: find solutions to attract not only
visitors but local population to degraded areas of high historical value, plan actions together with
neighbours, local companies and other public institutions in order to be successful, negotiate with
building owners from historical areas to promote the recovering of the local heritage.
Kairós network is leaded by Mula, Spain. Mula City Council has already put in place different
actions tackling the most relevant problems identified by KAIRÓS. It should be underlined that a
previous “General Planning” of the city was made paying special attention to the historic and
degraded areas of the city. Furthermore, the city has produced a “Director Plan” for the Castle
which includes preservation and renovation of the site and the natural slopes around it.
Additionally an agreement was signed with the Cartagena`s Polytechnic University and a study
has already been undertaken to analyse the needs and solutions for the renovation of degraded
cultural heritage areas and tourism development.
Several KAIRÓS partners have already interesting experiences related to urban planning and
development through their participation in previous Urbact initiatives, like Cesena and Catania
(Italy), Sibenik (Croatia) and Bragança (Portugal) and have already introduced, and successfully
tested, innovative methodologies to guarantee effective stakeholders and citizen’s participation
in the elaboration and implementation of action plans to tackle their problems. Another partner,
Heraklion (Greece) has also been recognized by URBACT as a “best practice” on setting up and
running a local support group (https://urbact.eu/smart-city-strategic-plan).
The other partners, Belene (Bulgaria) and their links to the Danibe basin and Roman trail with
transborder cooperation with Romania and Ukmerge (Lithuania) and their participation in ERDF
and ESF programs have also interesting experiences to share and will play an important role for
the network.
2. KAIRÓS´s core and related thematic areas
Kairós projecthas selected its thematic areas taking into consideration the approved project´s application,
a tentative identification ofareas and sub-topics elaborated bythe Lead Expert and the discussions held
among the 8 city partners at Mula Kick off meeting (9-10 October). As a result,it was identified a core
policy challenge (with subtopics),which deals with the main projectobjectives and aims together with three
derived thematic areas,which are developed to fulfill the core policy challenge.The core policy challenge
