URBACT Good Practices

A decentralised approach for asylum seekers

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

Including social criteria in public recruitment procedures to help disadvantaged people access the labour market in Avilés

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

Encouraging young citizens' participation at local level

Citizens shaping their city's development 

Working with civil society to reverse decline in small and medium sized towns

Improving public spaces through solutions co-designed with local actors and communities 

Promoting sustainable, active and autonomous mobility among primary and secondary school students
