OPENCities is an URBACT project led by Belfast City Council looking for joint, effective and sustainable solutions in the field of urban diversity. The project is looking for a new Lead Expert and a provider for the delivery of the OPENCities Project Evaluation.
The OPENCities Project
Launched in January 2009 at the Belfast Waterfront, the OPENCities project runs for 30 months, from 24th December 2008 until June 2011. The partner cities include Bilbao, Cardiff, Dublin, Dusseldorf, Nitra, Poznan, Sofia and Vienna.
The main objective of the project is to identify what makes a city attractive to international populations and to develop practical strategies for tackling economic and social integration issues, which can help cities better attract and retain international populations thus contributing to their improved competitiveness. It was initiated because of a belief that cities that attract international populations are more competitive than cities that don’t. By attracting new international populations, cities will inevitably attract more international events, investors and visitors. This 'internationalisation' will lead to greater diversity, which leads to more economic success and the improved well-being of its citizens.
The project considers how to successfully integrate international migrants and how to become and remain competitive in a globalised world. OPENCities has three key themes – Leadership and Governance, Internationalisation and Integration and Inclusion.
