URBACT: oproep voor 15 implementation networks

The main objective of Implementation Networks is to improve the capacity of European cities to manage sustainable urban policies and more especially to strengthen their ability to implement integrated strategies for sustainable urban development.

Joining an URBACT Implementation Network, you will have the opportunity to work with other cities and enhance the policies that are a priority for your city, be it related to economic development, urban renewal, housing, mobility, social inclusion, energy efficiency, low carbon urban environment, etc. You will also explore a number of challenges related to the implementation of their integrated urban strategy/ action-plan among which:

• Fostering the integrated approach
• Involving local stakeholders in the implementation stage
• Measuring impact achieved through the policy intervention
• Building the project pipeline (preparing projects, organizing calls for projects, supporting project delivery)
• Organising decision-making for delivery
• Moving from strategy to operational action-plan
• Developing Public Private Partnerships
• Setting up smart public procurement
• Enhancing funding through financial innovation
