On October 7, World Metropolitans Day, we are organizing the "Civic Participation and Solidarity for Resilient Metropoles" online event in cooperation with Metropolis and Marmara Municipalities Union.
Online, 7 October 2021
In the event titled Civic Participation and Solidarity for Resilient Metropolitans, the contributions that each individual and institution can make to resilience in cities, based on their fellowship/neighborhood identity, were evaluated.
In metropolitan cities, which are a separate city formation in Türkiye, ecological, economic and social resilience is of particular importance. Various physical risks such as pandemics, earthquakes, floods and fires and related humanitarian, social and economic crises may occur. The resilience of metropolitan cities against these possible risks is not only a priority agenda item in our country. Within the scope of 7 October World Metropolitan Day, announced by Metropolis, the theme of Social Resilience in Metropolitans will be discussed in many countries and cities in the first week of October.
With the event titled Civic Participation and Solidarity for Resilient Metropolitans, it was aimed to bring the issue to the agenda of municipalities, civil society and other stakeholders related to citizens in Türkiye. Thus, the role of civic participation and solidarity will be highlighted, especially in making metropolitan cities more socially resilient. The contributions that each individual and institution can make in terms of resilience in the cities, based on their fellowship/neighborhood identity, through participation and solidarity were evaluated.
