Circulation Of Imaginaries And Solutions For A Sustainable City In The Reinventing Cities Winning Projects

Helene Dang Vu

Résumé

Given their pressures on the planet, cities could be key places where the fight against climate change needs to be addressed. Initiatives to test innovative urban solutions for climate change mitigation and adaptation have proliferated over the past decade. Among them, Reinventing Cities, an international competition led by C40 to stimulate carbon-neutral projects that demonstrate innovative and replicable climate solutions, is gaining momentum with more than twenty cities worldwide participating. In this context, it is interesting to ask to what extent this initiative gives way to new images of urban projects, or rather to a standardization of them. What is really being reinvented in terms of vision, approach and solutions? What is being circulated? To answer these questions, this paper focuses on the analysis of 23 Reinventing Cities projects in five European metropolitan areas (Oslo, Madrid, Milan, Paris, Rome), combining both desk and field research. First, an analysis of C40’s discourse, in particular its strategic document ‘Guidance to Design a Zero-carbon, Sustainable and Resilient Project’, is conducted to question its impact on projects. Secondly, the innovation and climate expectations of the participating cities will be explored in depth and finally compared with the solutions of the winning projects. In a broader sense, this is an opportunity to question the circulation of urban models and their local translations in European metropolises.
