The event Global Goals for Cities is organized by the URBACT National Point Spain and the City Council of Manresa (a city near to Barcelona), in collaboration with the International Relations Department of the Barcelona Provincial Council.
It will address the localization of the global agendas and the SDGs covering the international, national, regional and local spheres. Therefore, it will have an eminently international perspective that links global and European institutions, as well as the members of the URBACT network.
The sessions will have a triple approach: exhibition, reflection and training, which will allow not only to nurture a multilevel and multilateral dialogue, but also to generate new ideas and knowledge and promote a transfer between municipalities of tools and solutions linked to the specific localization of the SDGs.
PRACTICAL INFO
It will be held at the Sala d'Actes FUB-2 at Fundació Universitària del Bages (see on the map) on 22 and 23 September 2022.

MORNING, September 23: STRATEGIC PLANNING AND THE LOCALIZATION OF GLOBAL AGENDAS
The second day will focus on strategic planning as an essential tool for localizing global agendas, with a special emphasis on the Urban Agenda and the different scales it encompasses. In this sense, it will be shown how Urban Agendas, from the New European Urban Agenda to the Local Urban Agendas, represent instruments that allow the SDGs to be grounded and located in cities.
For this purpose, a multilevel dialogue will be proposed, linking the different scales of application, from global to local, and showing practical examples and tools in this regard.
After these sessions, the conclusions of the workshops and work sessions of the previous day will be presented.
