The European Week of Regions and Cities is an annual four-day event during which cities and regions showcase their capacity to create growth and jobs, implement European Union cohesion policy, and prove the importance of the local and regional level for good European governance.
The first Expert Group meeting will take place in Brussels, Thursday, June 27. It will focus on transport indicators under SDG monitoring.
On October 5 the Community of Practice on Cities will be officially launched in Brussels!
Acknowledging the increasing centrality of the urban dimension, the Knowledge Centre for Territorial Policies now fosters a Community of Practice on Cities (CoP-CITIES) that will address specific challenges and features of cities and urban systems, while promoting the adoption of a territorial point of view.
The mission of the COP-CITIES is to tap the potential of an extended pool of expertise to improve information sharing and enhance collaboration among stakeholders, including EU citizens.
At the kick-off event the CoP-CITIES will be officially launched, other EC services will be invited to join, and its next steps and future developments will be discussed.
