Strengthening urban capacity across Europe

Europe’s major transitions unfold beyond municipal borders. Urban regions with intermediary cities and sometimes large territories operate as real functional systems, yet remain institutionally fragmented due to lack of ressources.

Urban Affairs works with public authorities and networks to strengthen the capacity of cities and their terrotories to act collectively — through cooperation design, applied research and peer learning.

We can support you in:

• Institutional design

• Governance frameworks for complex metropolitan and intermediary territories.

• Strategic research

• Comparative and design-led analysis supporting decision-making.

• Learning platforms

• Structured peer learning for cities facing similar challenges.
