Unlocking Urban Potential: The Crucial Role of National URBACT Points
In the dynamic landscape of urban development initiatives, the significance of National URBACT Points (NUP) cannot be overstated. Recent events, such as the participation of Mollet de Vallès in the II Spanish Urban Forum, shed light on the pivotal role these NUPs play. Acting as intermediaries for knowledge exchange, collaboration facilitation, and strategic guidance, NUPs are the linchpins ensuring the success and sustainability across diverse administrative landscapes, serving as beacons of support, fostering cohesion among municipalities and steering them towards impactful urban transformations.
More and more often, NUPs are organizing meetings that are gathering different URBACT project partners:
Lepida (Italy): 18/12/2023 (online)
Mollet (Spain): 17/10/2023 (in-person) & 1/12/2023 (online)
Gdansk (Poland): 7-8/12/2023 (in-person)
Jelgava (Latvia): 25/10/2023 (online)
Iasi (Romania): 7/11/2023

It’s worth mentioning, Spain National URBACT Point is the only NUP that has celebrated two meetings; one online and other face-to-face, acting as invaluable catalysts for synergy and progress and nurturing a vibrant ecosystem of urban innovators and policymakers for Spanish municipalities.
