Description
Cities will be the engines of Europe’s economic future. Yet many continue to face widening inequalities, housing crises and uneven access to opportunities. While a handful of megacities can dominate the headlines, Europe’s intermediary cities are emerging as the vital, missing links required to connect urban centres with towns and rural regions. How can we bridge these divides to build resilient, competitive and inclusive urban futures?
Join the European Commission and the OECD for the launch of two major reports:
- What Works for Inclusive Growth in Cities
- Unlocking the Potential of Intermediary Cities for Regional Development
