Dear urban community,

Greetings from an unusually warm and sunny Brussels, where it feels like Spring has come early! Since our last newsletter, we've gotten well into the swing of 2021, and while this isn't quite where any of us still expected to be at this stage (still battling the effects of COVID-19), it is beginning to feel like the light at the end of the tunnel is more clearly in our sights. 

Despite this, our work is all but showing signs of slowing, and below you can find numerous updates from the Urban Agenda Partnerships and beyond! This month we'd like to include an extra appeal for you to help our Security in Public Spaces and Culture and Cultural Heritage Partnerships in the implementation of their Action Plans by participating in their surveys (links below). Otherwise, we hope you enjoy the news, events, calls, and resources in this month's newsletter!

We're always thrilled to connect with you so please do get in touch - you can drop us a line at ua.communication@ecorys.com, or check us out on LinkedIn and Twitter!

All the best,

The Urban Agenda for the EU Communications Team
