Joint organiser: German Federal Ministry of the Interior, Building and Community, adelphi and Urban Catalysts

This Policy Lab broadened the discussion on the local implications and relevance of European and global agendas for cities. Both global agendas, such as the Agenda 2030 and New Urban Agenda, and the Urban Agenda for the EU will enable cities to become safer, more resilient and more sustainable.

The workshop synthesised insights from two sustainable urban development projects: Possibilities and Strategies of the German EU Council Presidency 2020 and Global Urban Transformation, commissioned by the German Federal Ministry of the Interior, Building and Community.

Given the diversity of local challenges and approaches to urban development in European cities, five cities were invited to share their experiences of urban transformation. Participants also engaged in peer-to-peer learning, received valuable feedback from urban professionals on their urban development pathways, and were updated on current EU policy processes relevant to their urban transformation plans.
