Yerevan, supported by UNDP Armenia, developed a City Portrait through a series of workshops with different city departments, as well as a ‘City Selfie’ - a survey with a representative sample of citizens imagining the desired future of their city. They are now looking to take the City Portrait as an anchor point in the development of their masterplan (long-term city strategic development plan, also including spatial planning).

Milton Keynes, England, United Kingdom

 I'm part of the Milton Keynes Doughnut Economics development group (a part of https://www.transitiontownmk.org/), we meet in person every Wednesday morning to develop our first draft MK Doughnut city portrait and build our local networks. The resources on the DEAL website here have proven invaluable, particularly the local city portraits.

We have published a detailed methodological guide, called Creating City Portraits, which describes the methods that were chosen to create 'Thriving City Portraits' in several cities, including Amsterdam, and it also identifies useful resources and alternative approaches that we came across in this process of downscaling the Doughnut to places.

We have published the following tools which are particularly useful for researchers:  • Creating City Portraits, which describes the applied methods that were chosen to create City Portraits in several cities, including Amsterdam. It also identifies useful resources and alternative approaches that we came across in the process of downscaling the Doughnut to places (available in English, Spanish, Chinese, and Portuguese). • List of Academic Articles and Reports, which engage with the core concepts of Doughnut Economics (updated periodically).  If you are wondering about DEAL support for your thesis/dissertation, unfortunately our small team does not currently have capacity to get involved on an ongoing 1-to-1 basis. That being said, we may be able to direct you to others who share your interests within the wider research community if you get in touch using the DEAL Contact Form and select the ‘Research & Data Analysis’ category. If you are wondering if DEAL can potentially collaborate as part of a research project grant application, please bear in mind that our small team is at full capacity with existing commitments at the moment, so we have to choose new collaborations with care. We assess potential collaborations carefully on a case-by-case basis, so do get in touch using the DEAL Contact Form and select the ‘Potential Collaborations’ category.

Barcelona is embracing Doughnut Economics through a series of actions. They are developing a City Portrait through desktop-work led by researchers, followed by a series of workshops with different departments, and with city stakeholders (organisations, community groups, trade unions) and residents. They have also organised a series of public debates 'for a new economy' open to all residents, and are beginning to explore pathways to bringing the City Portrait work and the Doughnut into policymaking.
