Learning Cities Platform

The European Learning Cities Platform, initiated by The Academy of Urbanism, INTA and Urban-imPulse, aims to provide a learning network for cities to share experiences, identify common problems and bring together the public, private and community partners to propose lasting solutions for managing the process for the transformation of cities. It is a network of people and places.

This publication draws together the presentations, discussions and reflections of an intensive two-day symposium hosted by the City of Utrecht with thirty representatives from nine cities. Each city is unique in its context, political aspirations and organisational structures. But common themes, concepts and principles were reflected across the projects and have been distilled as insights, which we believe, will be of value to all cities faced with reinvigorating places of connection.
