The 2019 edition of the European Week of Regions and Cities (EWRC) is guided by the motto: 'Regions and Cities: Pillars of the EU's Future.'

The Urban Agenda for the EU and its thematic Partnerships will be present and are ready to share their progress with interested visitors.

• The Partnership on Climate Adaptation will organise a training for local policy-makers to raise their awareness of climate adaptation. Register here.
• The Partnership on Circular Economy has organised a session on developing a circular economy strategy in cities. ESPON EGTC will present and discuss the results of 2 projects aiming to support regions and cities in the transition to a circular economy. Register here.
• The Partnership on Culture/Cultural Heritage is planning something special: via a Participatory Lab, the hosts are going to illustrate and test six topics identified by the Partnership as possible cross-cutting Actions. Register here.
• The Partnership on Public Procurement invites participants to discuss strategic procurement as an effective driver of change and growth. Register here.
• The Partnership on Security in Public Spaces is going to present its work and its first deliverable, the Orientation Paper. Register here.
• The Partnership on Sustainable Use of Land and Nature-Based Solutions will present its results and Actions tackling issues as nature-based solutions, land take, functional urban areas’ cooperation in the context of land use and urban sprawl, and brownfield development. Register here.

The Urban Agenda for the EU as a whole, like last year, will be represented via a stand in the AGORA exhibition space (floor -2 in the SQUARE Convention Centre). There, you will have the opportunity to learn more about all Partnerships and ask any question about the Urban Agenda for the EU!

Registration is open until 27 September 2019, but places are filling up quickly. Make sure to use the 2019 EWRC to get in touch with this interesting initiative! 

Our agenda is available here. Keep an eye on our Twitter account, newsletter, and website for updates. 

See you there!
