ABOUT URBACT
URBACT enables cities to work together to develop sustainable solutions to major urban challenges, through networking, sharing knowledge, and building capacities for urban practitioners. It is co-funded by the European Regional Development Fund with Partner and Member States of the European Union since 2002.
URBACT helps cities to develop pragmatic solutions that are new and sustainable, and integrate economic, social and environmental dimensions. As the next programming period approaches (URBACT IV), special attention is being given to three cross-cutting urban themes: gender, green and digital.
The URBACT Knowledge Hub brings together good practices and lessons learned from cities to share with all professionals involved in urban policy throughout Europe. The Gender Equal Cities work programme was launched in March 2017, based on good practices in URBACT-funded cities. It looks into the ways in which city policymaking impacts on women and men differently, and provides some concrete examples on how cities can take action to reduce, or eliminate, gender-based inequalities.
