Next-Gen Municipalism Talks

At idemaHaber, we launched the 8-episode “Next-Gen Municipalism Talks” series, inviting audiences on a thought-provoking journey through the evolving landscape of local governance from a development perspective. Next-generation municipalism moves beyond traditional governance models—embracing participatory, transparent, innovative, and sustainable approaches. It encourages active citizen engagement in decision-making, leverages technology, and prioritizes social, economic, and environmental sustainability to create more livable, inclusive, and resilient cities.

Under the #NextGenMunicipalism banner, we explored themes such as:

#1: Disaster Management & Reconstruction
#2: Cooperatives & Social Procurement
#3: Regenerative Economy & Youth Perspectives
#4: Urban Design Through Spatial Experience
#5: Climate Action Plans & Nature-Based Solutions
#6: Child-Friendly Cities
#7: Technology & Innovation
#8: Next-Gen Municipalism & the INOgarden Example

We thank our inspiring contributors for enriching this series with their insights: Emre Kuzlu (I-AM Group), Ekin AL (Regenerative Impact Space), Dr. Ali Ercan Özgür (IDEMA, İhtiyaç Haritası, INOGAR), Evren Aydoğan (İhtiyaç Haritası), Gökçe Ahi (IDEMA), Özge Acar (İhtiyaç Haritası), and Ayhan Soyfidan (Pamukkale City Council & INOgarden).
