The Cities Forum is the place to exchange on the urban dimension of Cohesion Policy. Under the theme “Together for green and just cities” this year’s edition will put a spotlight on recent EU developments, policies and initiatives which engage cities.

 

 

 

In particular, the Forum will:

  • Officially launch the European Urban Initiative (EUI) and its first EU level capacity building event.
  • Further explore the Urban Agenda for the EU, the EU Mission for 100 Climate Neutral and Smart Cities, and how the New European Bauhaus can be used to make a difference in local development.
  • Focus on the role of cities in implementing the European Green Deal and the importance of strategic approaches to address the needs for climate adaptation and environmental protection.
  • Underline the role of small and medium sized cities and functional territories in developing tailor-made solutions for local challenges.

 

 

Members of the URBACT Secretariat will welcome participants in the URBACT information stand and present:

  • The new online course on digital transition for cities.
  • URBACT’s ongoing and upcoming networking and funding opportunities for cities

This will also be an opportunity to ask last-minute questions about the URBACT call for Action Planning Networks which is open until 31 March.
