RegioFlash: URBACT Annual Conference 2012 "Cities of Tomorrow: Action Today"
The Annual Conference of URBACT - a European exchange and learning programme promoting sustainable urban development - will bring together urban practitioners, policymakers and experts from across the EU, to investigate solutions to the critical challenges faced by EU cities.
The conference is built on the European Commission's report "Cities of tomorrow - Challenges, visions, ways forward" (October 2011), which highlighted many of the major challenges that hundreds of cities in URBACT projects were trying to solve through sustainable urban development.
Six parallel workshop sessions will be organised covering main challenges facing EU cities.
Drawing on evidence from URBACT - in particular, project results and lessons, - and other European Territorial Cooperation programmes, participants will discuss how cities can tackle six key issues:
1) How can cities create more jobs;
2) How can cities foster active inclusion through social innovation;
3) How can cities fight against the socio-spatial divide;
4) How can cities deal with the urban shrinkage;
5) How can cities improve buildings' energy efficiency;
6) How can cities develop low carbon urban environment through better mobility and accessibility.
