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.
