The Urban 2.0 Framework

Why use the Urban 2.0 Framework?

A way to achieve thriving, green and resilient urban places

People in cities and towns deserve to lead good, healthy lives, and to enjoy and respect the wonders of nature. The Urban 2.0 framework exists to help everyone to be involved in making and sustaining good cities and towns - to help develop, manage and govern them, and to see and experience meaningful benefits in the near-term and the long-term.

How we can make cities and towns better

Some points to achieving thriving, green and resilient urban places

  1. Everyone needs to be actively involved - we all have a voice and we can all play a part.
  2. We have to agree where our city or town stands today, and where we want it to be in future.
  3. The future is not some faraway ideological aspiration - it is the near-term as well as the longer-term.
  4. We have to understand what our options are to get to where we want our city or town to be in future (near-term and long-term), and which options are best for our context.
  5. We have to agree our priorities in a way that stitches things together, not siloed projects.
  6. Regardless of who will pay, we have to create compelling cases for investment to achieve our agreed priorities. This might mean cities and towns combining together on joint initiatives to support each other in moving forwards.
  7. We have to learn from what we and others do, to keep improving and to monitor the success of our actions, and to change course if we need to.

What can make cities and towns better

What the Urban 2.0 Framework contains

  1. A principles-based Urban System.
  2. A Toolkit of tools and techniques, which links to other published frameworks and tools.
  3. A Knowledge Hub which provides urban theory, examples of urban initiatives around the world, an Urban 2.0 Newsletter and blog, interviews with a wide range of people involved in different aspects of urbanisation, and an Urban 2.0 book.

The Urban 2.0 Framework

Three areas of focus

1. The Urban 2.0 system - a structure for how activities and actions for cities and towns link to each other.

2. The Urban 2.0 Toolkit - tools and templates to support conversations, reviews, workshops and agreement on urban initiatives.

3. The Urban 2.0 Knowledge Hub - a continuously evolving space containing urban theory, over 300 examples of urban initiatives, examples of how to use data and technology, examples of how to hold reviews and workshops to solve challenges, and publications.
