MetroLab Podcast

MetroLab

Hello and welcome to the MetroLab Podcast! The podcast where we have discussions with researchers, activists, thinkers, policy makers and practitioners to better understand the role of metropolitan regions in the climate crisis and their paths towards climate neutrality. In several episodes, we will have discussions about different key topics that play a major role in our daily life and contribute to our emissions. We will discuss about current terms and regulations, address challenges, highlight positive approaches and be thought-provoking. Visit metrolab.design for more information. read less

Hello and welcome this is the MetroLabPodcast! This Podcast is produced by MetroLab, a Think Tank and Consulting Service for Metropolitan Areas and City Regions. With this Podcast we want to discuss different perspectives on the role of metropolitan regions in the climate crisis by entwining individual key topics that impact not only our daily life but are majorly contributing to greenhouse gas emissions. In several episodes we will have discussions with researchers, activists, thinkers, policy makers and practitioners to better understand the role of metropolitan regions in the climate crisis and their paths towards climate neutrality. The MetroLab is a collaboration of the partnering offices Superwien urbanism and CoCo architecture architecture and aims to contribute to building the foundation for a new kind of metropolitan planning and raise awareness of emerging metropolitan challenges in the climate crisis You can find more information about us, the Podcast and other Projects as well as all future episodes on our website ‘metrolab.design’. Stay tuned for our first talk with climate researcher Helga Kromp-Kolb and Lautaro Iriarte who will join us as a representative of the Austrian Klimavolksbegehren.

Episodes

WASTING in Climate Neutral City Regions | Dominik Wiedenhofer, Carolin Bellstedt & Felix Heisel

WASTING in Climate Neutral City Regions | Dominik Wiedenhofer, Carolin Bellstedt & Felix Heisel

For this episode of the MetroLab Podcast, we invited Dominik Wiedenhofer, Senior Scientist at the Institute for Social Ecology at the University of Natural Resources and Life Sciences Vienna (BOKU), Carolin Bellstedt, Executive Director at Metabolism of Cities and Felix Heisel, Architect and Academic at Cornell University. We talk about the relationship between resource and pollution flows within our existing system of regulations and habits, how we can make a shift towards a more sustainable system and how such a system could look like. Thereby we aim to better understand the role of metropolitan regions in the climate crisis and their paths towards climate neutrality.

CONSUMING in Climate Neutral City Regions | Yvonne Lötscher, Martin Strele & Carolyn Steel

CONSUMING in Climate Neutral City Regions | Yvonne Lötscher, Martin Strele & Carolyn Steel

For this episode of the MetroLab Podcast, we invited Yvonne Lötscher, Head of Sustainable Nutrition in Zurich, Switzerland, Martin Strele from Kairos, an Institute for Impact Research and Development in Bregenz, Austria and Carolyn Steel, Architect, Author and leading thinker on food and cities in London, UK. We talk about the consequences of how and what we consume, possibilities for changes in our consumption lifestyles and the spatial impact of consumption. Thereby we aim to better understand the role of metropolitan regions in the climate crisis and their paths towards climate neutrality.

PRODUCING in Climate Neutral City Regions | Helene Pattermann & Alexander Prinsen

PRODUCING in Climate Neutral City Regions | Helene Pattermann & Alexander Prinsen

For this episode of the MetroLab Podcast, we invited Helene Pattermann, head of the community and circular economy department at the Climate Lab in Vienna, Austria and Alexander Prinsen, circular innovation and transition expert and founder of Scope Matters in Rotterdam, Netherlands. We talk about the main levers for decreasing greenhouse gas emissions in the industrial sector, new regenerative business models and the role of metropolitan regions in promoting climate-friendly modes of production and innovation. Thereby we aim to better understand the role of metropolitan regions in the climate crisis and their paths towards climate neutrality.

LIVING in Climate Neutral City Regions | Andrea Jany & Yoann Gorostiaga

LIVING in Climate Neutral City Regions | Andrea Jany & Yoann Gorostiaga

For this episode of the MetroLab Podcast, we invited architect and researcher Andrea Jany and Yoann Gorostiaga, project manager working on sustainable and energy efficient buildings at Nobatek INEF4. We talk about how our way of living has changed over time, what our settlement and housing forms will look in the future and what role the construction sector plays in reducing greenhouse gas emissions. Thereby we aim to better understand the role of metropolitan regions in the climate crisis and their paths towards climate neutrality.

MOVING in Climate Neutral City Regions | Jaqueline Matijevic & Nicolas Fontaine

MOVING in Climate Neutral City Regions | Jaqueline Matijevic & Nicolas Fontaine

For this episode of the MetroLab Podcast, we invited Jaqueline Matijevic, Head of the Mobility and Transport Technologies Department at the Federal Ministry of Climate Action, Environment, Energy, Mobility, Innovation and Technology of Austria, and Nicolas Fontaine, General Manager of the Greater Grenoble Area Mobility Authority from France. We discuss the role of the mobility sector as one of the main contributors to greenhouse gas-emissions, strategies and plans for future-proof mobility systems and how mobility shapes our daily lives, and the programming of our cities and regions. We thereby want to better understand the role of metropolitan regions in the climate crisis and their paths towards climate neutrality

Climate Neutral City Regions | Helga Kromp-Kolb & Lautaro Iriarte

Climate Neutral City Regions | Helga Kromp-Kolb & Lautaro Iriarte

For this episode of the MetroLab Podcast, we invited climate researcher Helga Kromp-Kolb and Lautaro Iriarte, as a representative of the Austrian Klimavolksbegehren. We will talk about different terminologies in the climate discourse, why the way we communicate this subject is important and discuss current political goals and strategies to face the climate crisis on different levels. Thereby we aim to better understand the role of metropolitan regions in the climate crisis and their paths towards climate neutrality.
