LesSON IV

For several years, the Wuppertal Institute has been working on the question of how neighbourhood streets can be successfully transformed into sustainable, decarbonised and liveable streets. The project results to date from the LesSON I to III sub-projects show that there is often a willingness to rethink street spaces and test innovative planning ideas – and that many municipal practice partners also recognise the need for street conversions due to ecological, economic and social challenges. However, the knowledge base and the associated skills for successful street transformations remain very heterogeneous.
 
As part of the project, an e-learning module will be developed and implemented: The online qualification and training programme will be designed to qualify municipal administrative staff for the relevant tasks and deliver impulses for conversion projects towards liveable streets.
 
The e-learning module aims to achieve the following project goals:

• Constant availability of the compiled project experiences from LesSON I through III
• Free provision of the module on a training platform to ensure a high level of accessibility and dissemination
• Integration of the module into the day-to-day work of administrative staff through flexible and individualised learning units
