Participatory urban design: The example of international project CliCCHE

Throughout the cycle of CliCCHE project (January 2022 – January 2024), University of Belgrade – Faculty of Architecture was applying its principles and results in regular classes and research and thus widely promoted the mission, vision and values of the CliCCHE project within its own academic community. In addition, during that entire period, most of the practical research and educational activities were realized in the city of Valjevo, the local academic partner of the project, in permanent cooperation with the most relevant institutions from the public, private and civil sectors. One of the main aims was achieved - development and testing of new experiences in teaching and studying at technical faculties of European universities in order to improve knowledge about strategies for adapting to climate change and for mitigating the impact on human health within urban regeneration projects. Therefore, it was a very significant experience for the students as well as for the teaching staff beside all challenges that were emerging during the process. The aim of the research is to explore the topic of urban health through the results of an international project and to present a possible methodology for implementing specific teaching techniques in accordance with the knowledge gained during two years of work on a scientific project. Accordingly, the scientific contribution of the paper refers to additional steps in the process of disseminating the results achieved in a scientific project.
