U20 Rome-Milan 2021 – Urban 20 Calls on G20 To
TRADUZIONE ITALIANA DI CORTESIA Guidati dalle città co-presidenti di Roma e Milano, noi, i sindaci e governatori delle città sottoscritte, riuniti come Urban 20 (U20), invitiamo i Leader del G20 a collaborare con le città per realizzare società incentrate sull’uomo, eque, a emissioni zero, a prova di cambiamenti climatici, inclusive e prospere. La natura trasformativa dell'Agenda 2030 offre alle città un'opportunità chiave per promuovere un nuovo paradigma di sviluppo sostenibile e avviarsi verso una ripresa resiliente dalla crisi umanitaria causata dal COVID-19. Sindaci e governatori sono in prima linea nella risposta alla pandemia da COVID-19 e all'emergenza climatica. Il modo in cui i leader indirizzeranno i finanziamenti per la ripresa da COVID-19 rappresenta la sfida più significativa per qualsiasi governo impegnato nella risposta a pandemia ed emergenza climatica. La pandemia da COVID-19 ha messo in luce la solidarietà tra città e ha sottolineato l'importanza di lavorare insieme a soluzioni locali che garantiscano che nessuno e nessun luogo vengano dimenticati. Ha sottolineato che istituzioni pubbliche forti e la fornitura di servizi sono vitali per la coesione delle nostre comunità e per garantire l'accesso universale all'assistenza sanitaria in maniera equa per tutti. Per garantire che la fornitura di servizi pubblici a livello locale venga mantenuta, che le persone siano protette e che si realizzi una ripresa verde, giusta e sostenibile dalla pandemia da COVID- 19, le città devono avere accesso diretto a forniture e finanziamenti da fonti internazionali e nazionali, per esempio dai recovery plan nazionali. L'accesso equo ai vaccini deve essere garantito a tutti, in particolare alle città dei paesi in via di sviluppo.

The New Climate Economy was commissioned in 2013 by the governments of Colombia, Ethiopia, Indonesia, Norway, South Korea, Sweden and the United Kingdom. The Commission has operated as an independent body and, while benefiting from the support of the partner governments, has been given full freedom to reach its own conclusions. In September 2014, the Commission published Better Growth, Better Climate: The New Climate Economy Report and in July 2015 it published Seizing the Global Opportunity: Partnerships for Better Growth and a Better Climate. The project has released a series of country reports on Brazil, China, Ethiopia, India and the United States, and various reports on cities, land use, energy and finance. It has disseminated its messages by engaging with heads of governments, finance ministers, business leaders and other key economic decision-makers in over 45 countries around the world.

Urban Forced Removals in Rio De Janeiro and Los Angeles: North-South Similarities in Race and City
\\jciprod01\productn\I\IAL\44-2\IAL207.txt unknown Seq: 1 1-NOV-13 13:43 337 Urban Forced Removals in Rio de Janeiro and Los Angeles: North-South Similarities in Race and City Constance G. Anthony1 In April of 2010, Rio de Janeiro’s mayor, Eduardo Paes, announced that two in-city, poor, and largely Afro-Brazilian neighborhoods, Morro dos Prazeres and Laboriaux, would be cleared and all inhabitants would be forced to move.2 Despite dev- astating winter storms, which had indicated again the precarious- ness of Rio’s hillside favelas, this was not really new news.3 Rio’s favelas have experienced a century of forced removal.4 The early neighborhoods were built in historically undesirable, beautiful, but steeply inaccessible parts of Rio, and today these are impor- tant pieces of Rio’s real estate.5 For more than a century, many such favelas have allowed poor, working class Afro-Brazilians immediate access to the city below.6 While there are incredible challenges with living in neighborhoods cut off from good, or in some cases even basic, city services and infrastructure, the resources of the city at large continued to make these neighbor- hoods highly desirable for those who lived, and as importantly, worked there.7 Cities across the globe use this mandate for the forced move- ment of poor populations out of in-city urban neighborhoods.8 1. Constance G. Anthony is Associate Professor in the Department of Political Science at Seattle University. She received her PhD at the University of California, Berkeley. She has published a book on the politics of international aid and technology transfer with Columbia University Press, and articles on US science policy, refugees, and famine in Africa as well as the philosophical foundations of US interventionism.

How Hosting the Olympics Can Leave a Positive Legacy
Learning from experience: How hosting the Olympics can leave a positive legacy Bill Hanway Careful planning and an eye on the future can help the cities that host them. Deciding to host the Olympic Games can no longer be about national ego. In democratic countries, there has to be a clear social and economic rationale that goes beyond simply staging a global sports event. Learning from experience: How hosting the Olympics can leave a positive legacy Voices December 2016 In 1992, Barcelona marked the beginning of this new approach. City and national officials explicitly sought to use the Games as a way to accelerate the transformation of the city from its postindustrial languor into a hub for tourism and services. Those very successful Games helped to do just that. Learning from Barcelona’s achievement, when London won the right to host the 2012 Olympics, creating a post-Games legacy was at the heart of its thinking. Instead of hosting the event as an end in itself, London organizers conceived of it as a way to regenerate the historically challenged East End. “The Olympics will bring the biggest single transformation of the city since the Victorian age,” London Mayor Ken Livingstone said in 2003. As is often the case, these Games went well over budget, but there are positive early indicators of lasting impact, with new housing, schools, and the 100-hectare Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park, as well as economic activity, cleaned-up canals, and significant infrastructure improvements. What about Rio de Janeiro? When Rio won the right to host the Olympics in 2009, Mayor Eduardo Paes noted that Rio was not London or Beijing; it would do things its own way, including using a high degree of private financing.
