Its main objective is to develop, pilot and assess innovative educational methods, tools and material towards an integrated planning approach that takes –holistically- into account urban planning/design, mobility planning, participatory planning and evidence-based planning.

Αn integrated and holistic planning approach is essential for planning a people-centric, inclusive and climate-resilient city. The approach is based on the rationale that, urban and transport actions for tackling climate crisis need to be considered in parallel and in combination, informed by state-of the-art evidence-based findings, and to be community-tailored through participatory planning to ensure the ownership of these measures by all stakeholders, and ultimately their efficiency and long-term prospect.

Notably, this integrated approach is currently missing from the knowledge portfolio of planning-related HED students, practitioners, and technical officers in public administration/city authorities and thus the proposed collaborative learning framework shall provide them with the much-needed skills and capabilities.
