Urban authorities, regions, Member States, Partner States, umbrella organisations, and other relevant stakeholders are invited to apply and join the new Thematic Partnership under the Urban Agenda for the EU (UAEU) on Compact Cities - Sustainable Urban Planning and Sprawl Mitigation.

The Partnership will bring together stakeholders from the public and private sectors, urban authorities, academia, and non-governmental organisations, with the aim of promoting dense, efficient, and sustainable urban development in response to the challenge of urban sprawl across Europe.

As Europe’s cities navigate the transition toward climate resilience, the Greening Cities Partnership will take part in this year’s European week of Regions and Cities, with two dynamic sessions. These sessions will highlight cutting-edge tools and strategies that are shaping the cities of tomorrow. Under the theme “Cities Building Tomorrow,” participants will explore how to make green infrastructure investment-ready and how to transform data into actionable urban greening initiatives.
The European Urban Initiative will host more events to equip urban actors with the tools, knowledge, and inspiration to drive real change.
