Joining the EU urban agenda

The Urban Agenda for the EU is a new working method to ensure maximum utilisation of the growth potential of cities and to successfully tackle social challenges. Member States, Cities, the European Commission and other stakeholders work together on the future of cities in 12 partnerships. CityMobilNet’s Lead Partner Bielefeld is a member of the partnership 'urban mobility'. It is the first time that Europe invites cities at the table to discuss and draft a European Agenda, together with organisations that represent or work together with cities such as URBACT.

Czech Republic and Karlsruhe are jointly coordinating this partnership. The kick-off meeting of the partnership was held on the 23th and 24 of February 2017 in Prague. In the meantime first draft of scoping papers have been prepared by the partnership and discussed in two meetings.
The partnerships will make action plans around better legislation, better funding and better knowledge on the topic 'urban mobility'. You can find more information about all urban agenda partnerships process here: https://ec.europa.eu/futurium/en/urban-agenda
