About the URBACT City Festival
URBACT City Festivals are a celebration of cities and the practices that shape our urban communities. This URBACT flagship event gathers hundreds of urban enthusiasts from across Europe to share knowledge, learn about urban trends, network and join forces in creative sessions on how to make our cities better.
