  • Partnersök inom hållbar stadsutveckling

    Det pågår fortfarande utlysningar och projekt inom  European Urban Initiative och URBACT där syftet bland annat är att städer överför kunskap inom hållbar stadsutveckling till andra städer. Flera städer söker därför andra europeiska städer och aktörer som kan ingå i deras partnerskap. Vill din kommun förbättra eller dela med er av era kunskaper inom till exempel energiomställning, sociala frågor eller klimatanpassning?

     

    I den här artikeln kan ni läsa om vilka aktörer som just nu letar projektpartners och inom vilka teman, projekt eller utlysningar. Alla som följer nedan är aktuella just nu och behöver projektpartners så fort det går. Hör därför gärna av er till kontaktpunkten på Tillväxtverket så fort som möjligt om något verkar intressant!

    The initiative is a living experiment, asking a vital question: Can pollinators thrive in our urban environments? With over 33 m² of green space per capita – a national benchmark – and accessible parks within 500 metres of every residential area, Veszprém is already setting the stage for sustainable urban ecosystems. Flowering meadows, trees, green roofs, and semi-natural habitats provide crucial support to birds, insects, and now, bees.
