The 2019 European Week of Regions and Cities saw four days filled with debates, discussions and sharing of experiences. Organising over a dozen sessions, the Urban Agenda for the EU and the Urban Development Network were a central part of this event. At our stand, we experienced significant interest from local authorities, urban practitioners and stakeholders, particularly with regard to the implementation of actions.

The Urban Agenda for the EU will play an active role at the CITIES Forum 2020, taking place on 30-31 January in Porto. We will be there with dedicated sessions, an informative stand on the Partnerships’ actions and the opportunity to engage directly with Partnership Coordinators. This biennial event will gather key stakeholders from European, national and local levels. Registration is open until Friday 13 December.

In the meantime, the Partnerships keep working. The Partnership on Air Quality recently released its training package, while the Partnership on Circular Economy published a summary of findings on Urban Resources Centres. These case studies will be published in a series of articles on our website in the next few weeks. Besides the usual focus on the main upcoming events, this newsletter also includes a section on the Urban Blog. Don’t hesitate to contribute and share your views with the Urban community!
