CALL
The main objective of Action Planning Networks is to improve the capacity of European cities to manage sustainable urban policies and, more especially, to strengthen their ability to design integrated strategies for sustainable urban development. By taking part in an Action Planning Network cities exchange and share experiences, problems and possible solutions, and generate new ideas to address challenges related to sustainable urban development.
