URBACT Good Practices

The 2025 URBACT City Festival will put in the spotlight 116 urban good practices that are impactful, participatory, integrated, relevant and easy to transfer to other European cities.

To scale them up across Europe, URBACT will launch a Call for Transfer Networks from April to June 2025. Join the URBACT City Festival to find the URBACT Good Practice you want to transfer in your own city and network to make this happen!
