As majority of youth is living in the cities and the number is just predicted to grow, it is important, that we have the basic understanding how to analyse the city. There are way too many aspects that can be analysed, and we can probably only specialise in the several, but the below mentioned aspects are the basis, on which you can build your assumptions and develop the analysis the direction you are interested in.

Introduction

Session on socially just and green cities was intended as a follow up on the Online Course that we had as the 1st stage of the project. We asked the participants of the OC, if they felt that OC was missing some theory. The replies varied, but mostly the participants mentioned the green cities, spacial justice and how the physical shape of the city affects the social, cultural, political and communal lives of the neighbourhood. We decided to cover this topic through a session that would last 3,5 hours, with a flexible break and would consist of theoretical inputs and practical exercise on research of a neighbourhood surrounding our venue. In this article we would like to summarise the main theoretical points that we presented to our participants at this session and in the Online Course.
