Cluj-Napoca (RO), 20-21 November 2025 - 2Nite Transnational Meeting

The 2Nite network gathered in Cluj-Napoca for its second Transnational Meeting on 20–21 November 2025. Over two days, partners explored how the involved European cities can better understand and improve liveability and perception of safety on public space, especially in neighbourhoods undergoing rapid change. Hosted by the Municipality of Cluj-Napoca, the meeting brought together local stakeholders, community representatives, and project partners for presentations, workshops, discussions, and field visits.

The purpose of the meeting was not only to check on progress, but also to exchange good practices and  deepen the collaboration among partners, learn from local experiences, and collectively shape the next phases of the project. The sessions alternated between structured inputs, group work, and on-the-ground exploration of recent urban transformations.

How the PUMA Network changed the way cities plan mobility

Cities, cooperation and the URBACT experience

The Plans for Urban Mobility Actions (PUMA) network brought together nine partners from eight European countries, reflecting a wide range of territorial, institutional and governance contexts.

The partners included cities, regions and knowledge institutions from Spain (Viladecans), Italy (Cento), Slovenia (Nova Gorica), Greece (Larissa), Poland (Gdańsk), Lithuania (Tauragė), Latvia (Liepāja and Dienvidkurzeme) and Croatia (University of Zagreb).

This geographical and institutional diversity meant that partners entered the network with very different planning traditions, capacities and challenges - making mutual learning not only valuable, but essential.
