URBACT Annual Conference
In the context of economic downturn and environmental uncertainty, URBACT projects will discuss the challenges of integrated sustainable urban development. Interactive thematic workshops will focus on innovation and creativity, human capital & entrepreneurship, cities and demographic change, preserving or creating urban identities, governance models, regeneration of deprived neighbourhoods, the implementation of the Leipzig Charter, and cities response to the economic crisis.
European cities, local, regional and national authorities, members of the URBACT Local Support Groups as well as Managing Authorities of Operational Programmes, universities, experts, etc. are active partners in the URBACT programme. The annual conference is primarily dedicated to these URBACT players. It will provide them with a unique opportunity to meet and exchange on the various challenges of urban development, especially in a context of economic downturn and environmental uncertainty. It will also allow ongoing projects to share their interim outputs and discuss on practices and policies implemented by European cities in the context of integrated sustainable urban development in European cities.
