From March 16 to 17, the City of Torino will host, at the Officine Grandi Riparazioni, the fifth edition of the Cities Forum: a biannual event organized by the European Commission’s Directorate-General for Regional and Urban Policy that will bring together key urban players, including mayors and representatives of large, medium and small cities to discuss policies, actions and initiatives that will lead to addressing the urban challenges of ecological transition and social inclusion.
The program includes two intense days of work and appointments that will offer high-level debates, participatory sessions and interactive workshops on city cohesion and recovery.
The Forum will be a unique opportunity to network and discuss recent developments in various EU initiatives and policies, as well as to explore the host city through several site visits, organized by the City of Turin to discover the sites of major urban transformations in Turin, financed over the past 20 years by European funds.
The main themes of the Forum will focus on the implementation of policies and initiatives such as the European Green Deal, the Renewed Urban Agenda for the EU (UAEU), and the New European Bauhaus.
The web streaming of the event will be available on this page starting from 16 March 13:15 CET event website page.
Cities Forum 2023 will be attended by some of the leading international experts in the field of urban sustainability, including representatives of European institutions and members of the scientific and business community.
