The Municipality of Scandiano (Italy) is looking for one final project partner from Ireland, Belgium, the Netherlands or France to join the URBACT consortium of Urban Threads, currently bringing together six cities from Italy (Scandiano), Poland (Krakow), Portugal (Pombal), Sweden (Varberg), Hungary (Veszprem) and Ukraine (Slavutych).

The Municipality of Saint-Quentin (France) is looking for additional partners to join a new URBACT Action Network led by GAL Molise (Italy).

The network aims to explore how cultural, architectural and landscape heritage can become a strategic driver for territorial identity, urban attractiveness, social cohesion and sustainable local development.

The proposed network aims to bring together cities and territories facing similar challenges related to:

How can a small town develop "project by project" - with measure and care for what already exists - so that urban renewal, a living local economy and nature-based tourism reinforce one another instead of competing with the landscape they depend on?

THE CLALLENGE

Ágora – Cultura e Desporto do Porto, E.M., S.A., the municipal company of the City of Porto responsible for culture, sport, physical activity, public space animation and municipal facilities, is preparing an URBACT IV Action Network proposal led by Porto.

MOVE COMMONS will explore how European cities can address “movement poverty”: the unequal ability of people and neighbourhoods to use the city as a safe, inclusive, healthy and climate-ready environment for everyday movement.
