Theatre4all is an URBACT Transfer Network bringing together European cities to transfer and adapt an innovative cultural policy that positions public theatres and the performing arts as drivers of social inclusion, accessibility and community participation. Led by the City of Alessandria (IT), the network supports partner cities in embedding inclusive governance, co-creation with local stakeholders and audience development into their cultural strategies.

Entrepreneurial Cities is an URBACT Transfer Network led by Albergaria-a-Velha (PT) that supports cities to integrate entrepreneurial education for young people into local policies and practice by transfer and adaptation. The network connects municipalities, schools, businesses and community actors to strengthen youth skills, confidence and agency through hands-on learning, mentorship and testing actions in real-life contexts.

SpongeMeasures transfers Püspökszilágy’s (HU) efforts to tackle floods and droughts together to six partner municipalities: Vilamarxant (ES), Nuovo Circondario Imolese (IT), Razkrižje (SI), Plav (ME), Târgu Secuiesc (RO), Velykyi Bereznyi (UA). Working with local communities, the network will implement and share small-scale nature-based solutions that act like a sponge - slowing down and retaining rainwater, strengthening local resilience, and supporting biodiversity during dry periods.

We Create Space is an URBACT Transfer Network that builds on a proven participatory grant programme implemented in Ostrava (Czech Republic). It enables residents to create public spaces themselves using funds from the city budget. The project transfers this approach driven by communities to partner cities Koszalin (PL), Pescara (IT), Granollers (ES), Bucharest District 6 (RO), Niš (RS) and Métropole Rouen Normandie (FR) to strengthen bottom-up, sustainable and inclusive urban development across Europe.

The URBAN ECHO network helps cities with an integrated approach to urban renewal that puts people first. The Transfer Network develops long-term strategies, tailored to each neighbourhood. Led by Ghent, partners learn how cross-departmental collaboration, meaningful citizen participation and strong local partnerships create change that resonates. No quick fixes. No standard solutions.
