Political greening: Political debates on urban greening plan implementation in German and Italian municipalities

Dresden Leibniz Graduate School (DLGS) summer school, part of the Leibniz Institute of Ecological Urban and Regional Development (IOER) Conference 2024, Deutsches Hygiene-Museum Dresden, 25 September 2024

The summer school, organised by the Dresden Leibniz Graduate School (DLGS), was open to PhD students as a format to present their research. The format offered a space for feedback and discussion from senior researchers and other PhD students. These presentations provided the possibility to explore the current results of ongoing research in a relaxed and high-profile environment. The programme also included a training workshop with James Evans as the keynote speaker.

Leibnitz Institute of Ecological Urban and Regional Development (IOER) Conference 2024, ‘Space & Transformation: Living in Harmony with Nature’, Deutsches Hygiene-Museum Dresden, 26–27 September 2024

This talk presented the results of my research on political polarizations in urban greening and biodiversity planning in German and Italian municipalities. Through a 4-case-study comparison, the presentation investigated how local actors deal with current climate change challenges using urban greening to generate multiple benefits – from improved human well-being to increased urban biodiversity.

The Autumn School gathered researchers from different disciplines but united by their common research interest in network theories and analyses. Participants had the possibility to introduce their current research with a poster. During the poster sessions, participants each presented their projects and were then available for one hour of in-depth discussion. Invited senior researchers presented their current and past work and were available for feedback throughout the entire workshop.
