ABOUT

Urban centers in Poland and in the world are developing dynamically, which is also associated with pressure on the natural environment. Already today, the 75% of greenhouse gas emissions come from there. The conference will be an opportunity to reflect on how cities can continue their development, while reducing their negative impact on the environment and providing a decent and healthy living to their inhabitants. The participants of the event will look at challenges, such as: investments in infrastructure or the use of available financing models. They will also learn lessons that have worked succeeded Polish cities such as Gdańsk.

The Urban Agenda for the EU

The priority topics of the agenda included, among others, air quality, adaptation to climate changes, changes in the energy model or mobility. One of the advanced urban adjustments represent cities of Gdansk and Barcelona (twinning cities).
