  • Dincolo de granițe: cum învață orașele din Europa unele de la altele

    În primăvara anului 2025, URBACT a promovat cea mai recentă cerere de propuneri pentru Rețele de Transfer , o oportunitate pentru orașe de a transfera, reproduce și adapta bunele practici dintr-un context urban în altul. Transferul bunelor practici nu este o noutate pentru programul URBACT, nici conceptul de rețea de orașe. Moștenirea rețelelor URBACT își are originea în ciclurile anterioare de programe, evoluând constant odată cu nevoile și componența orașelor europene în schimbare de-a lungul anilor.

    Acest articol explorează modul în care diferite rețele URBACT promovează schimburile și soluțiile inovatoare pentru dezvoltarea urbană durabilă între orașele europene.

  • The plans that speak: What cities can learn from the URBACT IAP review - PART ONE

    At the last international Residents of the Future meeting in Iisalmi (Finland), project coordinator Nikolina Gracin shared many "green dots" and check marks, confirming the project is on track. As we enter the final phase, it’s time to present your IAPs.

    So, you’ve spent last two years gathering voices, testing new ideas, revisiting old truths, and dreaming about what your city could become. You’ve sat in rooms, real and virtual, with neighbours, officials, partners, and skeptics. You’ve zoomed in on population loss, zoomed out on wider trends, and tried to hold it all in one coherent picture. Your Integrated Action Plan is more than a document — it’s the voice of your city’s future. It’s the result of months, even years, of listening, learning, testing, failing, and trying again. It carries the vision of your residents, the priorities you’ve fought to define, and the first real steps toward reversing decline and building belonging.
