SESSION
'LOCAL AND URBAN GOVERNANCE FOR MORE JUST GEOGRAPHIES'
Local government has been a driving force in the promotion of quality of life, social equity, inclusion, diversity and spatial justice in human settlements. If this has been so in numerous countries, during the last century, local and city governments worldwide are now increasingly confronted with new and complex challenges, related to climate change, pandemic events, energy crisis, natural or human made disasters, among others, which call for reform and innovation in the current local government systems.
This Session, sponsored by the International Geographical Union Commission on Geography of Governance (IGU-CGoG), aims to explore and discuss various aspects of the response of local and urban governance towards these new and complex challenges.
Papers can be focused on any aspect of these recent developments and challenges with which local government is confronted worldwide, including comparative research. Papers might address, but are not limited to, the following topics:
- Local government systems: reforms and innovations
- Urban governance in the post-pandemic city
- Energy crisis and local government policy
- Climate action by local and city governments
- Local governance and spatial planning of coastal and marine areas
Abstracts of those engaged in the activities of the IGU Commission on Geography of Governance (IGU CGoG), as well as from anyone with a relevant contribution in this field, are most welcome.
