hub and programme experts
“Thanks to the plurality of ideas and experiences we
offered each other, out-of-the box thinking and the
use of unconventional methods to work on our
SUMPs, we all grew richer in terms of knowledge and
capacities and became friends by our joint work.”
Bielefeld (DE), Lead Partner
coordinator for CityMobilNet
“It will be remembered as
an opportunity to experiment and explore.
Communities will remember the fun events that brought
people together. Institutions will be effected by changes
in ways of working.”
Glasgow City Council (UK), partner in RESILIENT
EUROPE
“URBACT already provides
significant support for network cities: e.g. offers textbooks, best practices,
case studies, and webinars. It organises URBACT
Summer University which is extremely helpful. We took advantage of those tools.”
