URBACT Campus Deutschland: Auf dem Weg zur Umsetzung der Integrierten Handlungskonzepte

Wo stehen die aktuellen URBACT-Städte der Aktionaplanungsnetzwerke mit ihren Integrierten Handlungskonzepten (Integrated Action Plan, IAP)? Wie können sie ihre Maßnahmen weiter ausdefinieren und verfeinern? Und schließlich: Wie können sie den Integrated Action Plan umsetzen, finanzieren und dabei alle relevanten Akteure einbeziehen?

Šibenik’s Green Agenda: Driving Climate Literacy Through URBACT Collaboration

Teenagers and the City: How Youth Shape Public Spaces through Creativity, Sports, and Social Connection

Public spaces hold a unique value for teenagers, offering a stage for recreation, cultural expression, and social interaction.

This article explores how teenagers use these spaces, how they shape urban aesthetics, and why policymakers need to adopt a more passive approach to observing their behaviors.

Street Sport and Tourism: A Path to Urban Regeneration and Youth-Centered Travel

Street sports such as skateboarding, 3x3 basketball, breakdancing, and rollerblading are increasingly becoming a driving force for urban regeneration. These activities are transforming underutilized urban spaces into vibrant social and cultural hubs, fostering local community engagement and attracting a new kind of tourism.
