A Systemic Design-Led Participatory Process to Address Meaningful Impact Pathways for Netzero Cities by Debora Giorgi, Claudia Morea, Valentina Frosini, 
Chiara Rutigliano, Sofia Collacchioni

“…Based on four pillars (energy efficiency, sustainable mobility, circular economy, agriculture and land use, urban forestry), the process aimed at spotting systemic barriers and laying the groundwork to co-design a portfolio of actions aimed at achieving carbon neutrality by the year 2030. The strategy supporting the process was based on two main phases (understanding the system and co-designing a portfolio) connected by an intermediary bridging phase, and another cross-cutting level of inquiry itself consisting of two stages: the front-end (the local-based facilitation process) and the back-end (the systemic interconnectedness process). …”
