Meet all UIA Cities at the Cities Forum in Porto!
The "CITIES Forum 2020" is a two-day major event of the European Commission bringing together key stakeholders from European, national and local levels. The Forum is a place for all stakeholders to capitalise on common achievements and reflect on the future directions of urban development within Cohesion Policy including the future of the Urban Agenda for the EU.
With 75 projects now ongoing and a great wealth of knowledge and experiences already generated, UIA will have a key role during the event. The Forum will also be the first occasion to gather all UIA cities with a dedicated session on 30th January morning (closed session).
