Find out more about URBACT in your language!

On the NDP websites, you can find news on URBACT in your language: Czech, Dutch, Italian, French, Greek, Hungarian, Lithuanian, Norwegian, Polish, German, Portuguese, Romanian, Slovenian, Spanish and Swedish URBACT National Dissemination Points provide local-language information on the URBACT programme and projects across the EU, and act as national relays for information on sustainable and integrated urban development. Rather than being created by URBACT, the NDPs are built on existing websites dedicated to urban affairs in each country. The idea is to disseminate the findings of cities in URBACT urban development projects so that other cities can benefit too. Every month you will find on their websites a newsletter and new articles about URBACT, its projects outputs, its cities and its events!    URBACT wishes to expand the geographical spread of NDPs to as many EU countries as possible. However, in the meantime, if there is no reference point in your country, you can contact URBACT Secretariat for any suggestions or questions. Here is a list of the current NDPs:
