Networks

Discover the URBACT Networks, their cities, their plans,  and recommendations. An URBACT network brings together EU cities willing to exchange ideas and produce integrated local policies with the help of their peers, local stakeholders and URBACT experts. Cities can join three types of URBACT Networks, Action Planning, Transfer and the Innovation Transfer Mechanism, following calls for proposals.

  • Smart Mobility on Demand

    Smart Mobility on Demand is more than a mobility service. It connects rural and urban areas through a flexible and inclusive demand-responsive transport solution. By listening to citizens and analysing local conditions, the project adapts to each territory’s specific mobility challenges. Our ambition is simple: to turn mobility into one less thing to worry about. Working together with local communities and partners, we aim to build a more connected and inclusive future, where no one is left behind.

  • Eat4Climate

    While food systems account for 25% of greenhouse gas emissions, the Eat4Climate URBACT Transfer Network, led by Mouans-Sartoux (FR) with six European partner cities, proves that food can cut down urban footprints, starting with what’s on our plates. Through the Food City Lab, local stakeholders transition toward sustainable diets, while cities transform school meals, expand local organic farming, and ensure access for all to healthy, fair, local organic food. It's not just feeding people, it's feeding the future.​
