German students of urban and regional planning from Berlin and Macedonian students of urban planning and architecture from Skopje will examine the construction of remembrance and its representation in the urban space of Skopje. Besides giving presentations on the theme, during a workshop in May the students will investigate specific sites of remembrance in Skopje and locate their nexuses of significance within different social contexts. Behind the ethnic divisions of the population lies the question of the similarities and differences between the various remembrance constructs. The workshop culminates in a presentation of the results and an exhibition in Skopje.

This book examines the potential for cities, states and regions to take decisive action on climate change at the local level. Local action constitutes an essential component of global efforts to keep temperatures below the 2°C Paris Agreement threshold. Focusing on three green municipal leaders - New York, Boston and Paris - this volume examines their multilevel interactions with higher governance echelons in the United States and France. Even though these countries are located on different continents, similar patterns emerge on both sides of the Atlantic. This book explores the key role of municipalities and sub-state entities in shaping the climate policy agenda vis-à-vis national governments in the US and France. It argues that inadequate articulation of multilevel governance may jeopardize efforts to limit global temperature increase below the 2°C threshold by the end of the century.
