Knowledge Exchange Programme for the government of Raparin Region, Kurdistan.
As part of our Knowledge Exchange programme a delegation of 14 people from the government of the Raparin region (340.000 inhabitants) visited our office together with Kanitoo Company.
Our Knowledge Exchange Programme helps cities to visualize more sustainable options for their planning. This is really important in order to change the paradigm of the car-orientated regions such as Kurdistan and to set the first steps towards a Smart Moving Raparin.
We shared with the governor, mayors and technicians our experiences on urbanism and sustainable mobility.
Together with Nahuel Beccan from MAP Urban Strategies , Carolina Ramos carried out a workshop in which the challenges and possibilities of urban development and sustainable mobility for the cities of Rania and Chuar-Qurne were explored. The most demanding topics were land-use planning, road connections, the use of water in the city and in the agrarian zone, use of mountains for alternative energies, the increase of green areas and investment in infrastructure for tourism.
The group visited various cities in the Netherlands, was introduced at the Dutch Cycling Embassy and made a cycling tour in Deventer.
