Since 2002, URBACT has been driving change all over Europe by enabling the cooperation and idea exchange amongst cities within thematic networks, by building the skills of local stakeholders in the design and implementation of integrated and participatory policies, and by sharing knowledge and good city practices.
URBACT supports cities to develop integrated practices
Cities can learn a great deal from each other’s experiences, that’s why URBACT funds and supports networks of cities. Partners share ideas around bottom-up initiatives and co-design long-term strategies and urban policies – all at European and local levels.
City-makers need the right skills to make positive change and to push for more integrated and participative practices. This is why URBACT proposes capacity-building activities and tools for city representatives and urban professionals.
To inspire practitioners and decision-makers in the EU and beyond, URBACT capitalises on cities’ success stories by sharing urban knowledge and policy recommendations. Thematic insights are disseminated in different formats to spread the word about URBACT and its Method.
