Sustainable urban development calls for a shift in how we approach urban and regional planning. Integrated territorial development proposes relevant alternative solutions. UIA is conducting a study together with AEIDL and Eutropian to investigate how cities integrate the key principles of Integrated Territorial Development in UIA projects.

On April 7th, 2022 from 10h00 – 12h00 CET UIA organised an online workshop, open only to UIA and URBACT cities. During this workshop we explored emerging good practices from UIA projects related to multi-actor, multi-sectoral and place-based approaches. We also looked at how these principles are integrated in the project’s development logic, from the start of the co-design phase to the upscaling and sustainability phases.

The event was dedicated to cities’ staff and officials of municipalities and is part of this knowledge activity on good practices on Integrated Territorial Development in UIA projects.

What's on the programme?

Following a comprehensive review of UIA projects, 12 good practices were selected to participate in hearings that took place early 2022 involving project partnerships, city officials and local stakeholders. Our online workshop shared a selection of good practices and the first findings of the analysis.
