Edited on
09 October 2017Following the decision of the URBACT II Monitoring Committee on 14th November 2011, the 3rd and last URBACT Call for Proposals is now open for the creation of up to 19 new Thematic Networks.
Thematic Networks approved through this Call will focus on fostering exchange and learning among European cities, drawing lessons from these exchanges, and building new tools and policies for an integrated and sustainable urban development. Beyond the consolidation and dissemination of the practical knowledge drawn from the transnational networking, partner cities will also commit to work with local stakeholders to develop a Local Action Plan and improve their local policies.
Addressing one of the 8 topics defined for this call, partner cities will be requested to consider the 3 following challenges:
- How to manage urban development in the context of the economic and financial crisis
- How to foster integrated and sustainable approaches to urban development
- How to develop efficient partnerships and multi-level governance processes
The Call is open from 9th December 2011 until 15th March 2012.
