    Peer Learning in Action: Insights from the GenProcure Review Process

    Recently, the GenProcure network benefited from the support of Ad-Hoc Expert Franziska Singer, who assisted project partners in the production and review of their Integrated Action Plans and contributed to the design and facilitation of the GenProcure Transnational Meeting held in Újfehértó and Satu Mare. With the aim of sharing her reflections and insights, the following lines offer valuable inspiration as we move forward in implementing the actions we have envisioned.

  • REMOTE-IT Podcast: How cities create Integrated Action Plans (IAPs)

    How Cities Create Integrated Action Plans – Lessons from the Remote-IT Podcast

    In the latest episode of the Remote-IT Podcast, titled "How Cities Create Integrated Action Plans (IAPs)", host Mark Thomas, editor of The Dubrovnik Times, leads a conversation with URBACT experts and ULG coordinators reflect on their experiences of designing these strategic documents and what makes them truly integrated.

    Our guests in this episode are URBACT Lead Experts Alisa Aliti Vlašić (Remote-IT) and Bela Kezy (C4TALENT), joined by ULG Coordinators from the Remote-IT project — Kerttu Ahuna and Markos Kourgiantakis.

    For cities unfamiliar with URBACT or the concept of an IAP, this episode offers a valuable behind-the-scenes look into what it means to build a local plan that is collaborative, actionable, and future-proof. An Integrated Action Plan (IAP) is not just another policy document. It is a structured, participatory roadmap that brings together stakeholders across sectors to co-create realistic and relevant local solutions — guided by the URBACT methodology and toolbox.

     

    “An IAP is not only about having a plan. It's about how you create it.”

  • GreenPlace in Quarto d’Altino: Building a Green and Smart Hub of Archaeology, Nature and Community

    A European project for greener and more participatory cities


    GreenPlace is a European project under the URBACT programme, involving cities committed to developing more sustainable, inclusive, and participatory local policies, starting from one key element: the regeneration of green public spaces. Quarto d’Altino is taking part in GreenPlace with an ambitious yet deeply grounded challenge — to bring new life to the historic village of Altino and reconnect it to its urban, rural, and lagoon surroundings through an integrated, green, and smart development model.
    Through the project Green & Smart Altinum Hub, the Municipality aims to transform Altino into a multifunctional hub where culture, nature, soft mobility, and social innovation converge to create new opportunities for residents, visitors, and local businesses.
