Two main components are planned:

• Green Deal Training Program - Consisting of 3 training sessions on (1) Green Deal & Context (incl. taxonomy), (2) Impact Analysis and (3) Participation
• Interactive Green Deal Readiness Check - Determine skill level, gather inspiration and evolve

About URBAN MENUS

URBAN MENUS is a process methodology and software for the participatory and impact-oriented development of urban planning visions with an integrated smart city platform Connecting people who want to make a difference with their products and services.

Various actors, including citizens, can use URBAN MENUS to develop, go through and analyze urban visions. The area of ​​application is the critical phase of preliminary planning, in which it is first necessary to bring together partially divergent requirements and to create a basis for the subsequent detailed planning that is supported by everyone.

The idea for the tool arose during the master planning for the new campus of the Vienna University of Economics and Business (2008-2015), which transformed a former demolition site into a place that combines economic, ecological and social advantages and attracts both students and professionals as well as people who spend their free time here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h_MKrJ0TIic.

Austrian funding bodies supported the development of URBAN MENUS. A global international preliminary study in 2020/2021 and a pilot project in India in 2021/2022 have already been carried out. urbanmenus.com

URBAN MENUS comes with an additional consulting portfolio.

About the initiator

The idea for URBAN MENUS goes back to Laura P. Spinadel, an Austrian-Argentinian architect, urban planner, author, educator and head of the architectural office BUSarchitektur and BOA büro für offensive aleatorik in Vienna.

As a pioneer of holistic architecture, Laura P. Spinadel has long been involved in a multidisciplinary manner with the democratization of urban planning processes and with designing vision processes in such a way that as many of those as possible are involved in the creation. An indispensable tool: visualization not only of appearance, but also of effect.
