Energy independence, renovation, and healthy homes were at the center of the debate, exemplified throughout the experiences of the four European cities that have accompanied Getafe on this journey and which have successfully interpreted and adapted the ‘Getafe model’ to their own circumstances.

How does participation lead to transformation?

Give teenagers €1,000, no strings attached, trust them to make their city better, step back and watch what happens.

That was the bet Cluj-Napoca made in 2015. A decade later, it has paid off more than 1,000 times. Now comes a more complicated question: can a model built in Cluj-Napoca work in four other European cities?

Under the URBACT-funded Com'ON City transfer network, five cities are working together until 2028 to adapt this model to their own local realities: Leeuwarden (Netherlands), Piacenza (Italy), Valongo (Portugal), Veszprém (Hungary) and Cluj-Napoca as lead partner.
