URBACT Good Practices

Inclusive, green and social infrastructure at the edge of the city 

An innovation and technology hub boosting economy and creating opportunities 

Facilitating public participation in the allocation of housing for refugees

Promoting environmentally friendly transport and reducing car traffic - and thus CO2 emissions - within the city

Transforming older buildings into eco-friendly learning hubs 

An orchestra for social inclusion, using music to bring diversities together and break down prejudice

Integrated local policies promoting  sustainable mobility practices 

Appointing community representatives amongst the residents of the target area Edgbaston Reservoir, to become permanent ambassadors, communicating with the City Council, and understanding their challenges – enabling Birmingham in this way to rebuild trust

How a city has decided to spot existing public spaces and improve them in the scope of housing, recreation, leisure and social cohesion.
