URBACT Programme

The teaser of the 2025 URBACT City Festival which will take place in Wroclaw, Poland on 8-10 April 2025.

The URBACT City Festival will be hosted by the URBACT city of Wroclaw in Poland and will take place over three days - from 8 to 10 April 2025. 

 

This new edition of the flagship URBACT event will showcase a variety of integrated, participatory, impactful and transferable urban practices (URBACT Good Practices) on different topics put in place by cities across Europe. 

To scale up these good practices, the City Festival will launch the call for URBACT Transfer Networks that will allow the transfer of some of the good practices to other European cities. 

It will also provide the space to build partnerships amongst the URBACT Good Practice cities and other cities interested in the transfer. 

For whom is this URBACT City Festival?

 

The City Festival will welcome more than 600 participants, mainly: 

  • - representatives of city administrations and municipal agencies across Europe, from municipal staff working on specific policy areas, to international and European departments of the city, and local elected officials

  • - representatives of the European Commission and EU-funded organisations.

The URBACT City Festival is open to all cities across Europe, involved or not in URBACT networks.
