For over ten years, the URBACT programme has been the European Territorial Cooperation programme aiming to foster sustainable integrated urban development in cities across Europe. URBACT enables cities to work together and develop integrated solutions to common urban challenges, by networking, learning from one another’s experiences, identifying and transferring good practices.This session will provide participants with an overview of what is in URBACT for urban practitioners and policy-makers (at local, regional, national and European levels). More especially, the calls for Implementation and Transfer networks (to be launched early 2016) will be presented. Partner cities will also share their URBACT experience, with a focus on the transfer of good practices recently experimented in URBACT pilot transfer networks.Target audience: - EU, national, regional and local policy/decision makers- Authorities managing and evaluating cohesion policy programmes and projects- Other stakeholders: private companies, financial institutions, European and national associations- Academics, students and researchers
