Learning from Innovative Governance Concepts
We invite policy makers and urban experts to share some key lessons from innovative governance approaches for car traffic-reduced city centres in Europe.
The panel discussion will be based on the findings of a comparative analysis of seven progressive European cities, as well as insights from leading experts, and will address the following questions: What policies and regulatory approaches work best to support inclusive and participatory sustainable urban change? What are the lessons learned by urban leaders and planners around the world?
