Urban Agenda for the EU

Fostering the urban dimensions of EU policies

Dear readers,

We are glad to present to you a new edition of our newsletter – this time focusing fully on the 11th session of the World Urban Forum (WUF11). World Urban Forum is recognised worldwide as the foremost global arena for interaction among key high-level policy makers, local government leaders, NGOs and stakeholders to discuss global urbanisation challenges and solutions.
In this edition of our newsletter, you will be able to learn more about events and activities of several partners of the Urban Agenda for the EU taking place at WUF11, comprising notably a series of 14 sessions organised by the European Commission.

Our partners Eurocities and the Council of European Municipalities and Regions, as well as many others will also participate so we warmly invite you to consult the complete list of WUF 11 events and sessions.

We hope you will enjoy reading about planned activities at the 11th session of the World Urban Forum, and to see you in the event itself – in person or online!

All the best,
The Urban Agenda for the EU Team
