Hydro-Heritage Cities in URBACT City Festival

Edited on 28/04/2025

Hydro Heritage Cities was proud to be part of the 2025 URBACT City Festival in Wrocław.

Hydro-Heritage Cities were represented in this vibrant gathering of 600+ urban professionals from across Europe, by our partner city Roeselare. 

We joined the conversation on how cooperation programs can become more than just projects, dealing with questions such as:

Can they help build a shared vision? Can they secure political and stakeholder buy-in?

We believe the key lies in understanding why a city engages — and how that intention can drive strategic value and lasting impact.

Roeselare also presented its Community Hub as a #GoodPractice — a place where people connect, heritage comes alive, and community-led transformation begins.

A big thanks to URBACT for the inspiring exchanges and contagious energy. Let’s keep building better cities together — one shared story at a time.
