The URBACT City Festival is the key event of this European territorial cooperation programme. It aims to promote integrated and sustainable urban development in European cities. Open to all city practitioners, decision-makers at all levels, organisations and institutions involved in urban policy, this event raises awareness of the URBACT approach to urban transformation.

During these days, the 23 networks participating in the programme and involving more than 200 European cities will have the opportunity to present their results, share their experiences, recommendations and examples of pilot projects and improve their knowledge and expertise in urban policy.

The Festival is an event labelled by the French Presidency of the Council of the European Union and coincides with the launch of the URBACT IV programme which will cover the period 2021-2027. This festival will also be an opportunity to reaffirm the role of cities and Europe in addressing the major challenges of digital and ecological transitions, social justice and gender equality, which will be at the heart of the URBACT IV programme.
