486. Celebrate Your Local Jane Jacobs About the initiative: Celebrate Your Local Jane Jacobs, is a campaign dedicated to acknowledging and honor women who have made substantial hands-on contributions to their communities. In a world where the recognition of women’s achievements is often limited, we believe those who have devoted themselves to civic engagement, participatory planning, enhancing their communities, and constructing better towns for future generations deserve appreciation. We see their influence as inspiring and capable of extending to other communities. ??

Green spaces play a crucial role in urban environments, offering significant environmental benefits, enhancing wellbeing and supporting mental and physical health. In cities like Cairo, rapid urban development is eating away at the city’s already scarce green spaces. This situation serves as a stark reminder of the consequences of eroding green spaces if this approach continues. We invite you to join us at the World Urban Forum WUF12 for a screening and discussion on the implications of the diminishing role of green spaces. We will explore the future of our cities and the possibilities of balancing urban development with other important environmental, social and cultural values.

Amman Workshop - Day 1 We had a fruitful start to our workshop with many participants sharing their impactful community-led projects from across the region. They shared multiple success stories and candidly addressed common challenges including institutional, financial and cultural ones. In addition, they introduced creative solutions, particularly in stakeholder engagement through participatory design, tailored to each unique context. As the day progressed, we engaged in discussions that fostered knowledge sharing and experience exchange. Amir chimed in with insightful musings about participatory planning, actively involving participants in mapping their contributions along the participatory ladder. He also engaged the participants in lively debates about various types of community engagement, ranging from city-level initiatives to village efforts and one-on-one interactions in specific action areas. Meanwhile, Yasmine skillfully connected the different themes discussed throughout the day, offering valuable reflections that enriched our understanding of effective community engagement strategies. ???? ????? ?? ???? - ????? ????? ???? ????? ???? ????? ????? ??????? ?????? ?? ????????? ???????? ???? ??? ???? ????? ?? ??????? ?? ????? ????? ??????? ??? ?????? ??? ?????? ??????? ??? ??????? ???? ???? ????????? ???? ?????? ?????? ?? ????? ?? ??????. ??? ?????? ?????? ??????? ??????? ????? ??????? ?? ???? ??????? ????????? ?????? ?????? ??? ????. ??? ????? ?????? ??????? ?? ??????? ???? ????? ??????? ???????? ???? ???? ???? ??????? ??? ??????? ???????? ??? ???? ?????? ?? ??? ????????? ??? ????? ???????? ?? ???? ??????? ????? ??? ????? ????? ???????? ?????????? ????? ?? ????????? ??? ????? ??????? ??? ?????? ??????? ?????????? ???????. ???? ???? ???? ???? ?????? ?????? ??? ???????? ???????? ???? ??? ???????? ??? ???? ?????? ? ???? ????????? ???? ???? ????? ???????????? ???????? ????????? ???????. #CelebrateYourLocalJaneJacobs
