COST Action A26: Networking Cities and Regions for Sustainability

Enlarged view: costalogo

The project will analyze existing networks related to sustainable urban and regional development. It will examine the opportunities of knowledge transfer to enhance sustainable development in the networking cities and regions. The project will focus on the aspect of multi-level governance and cohesion between and within European city-regions. It will show how sustainability networks function, their success, existing problems, and the obligations of networking partners. It will also analyze how city-region networking can promote sustainability in an enlarged Europe of 27+2. The aim is to improve this kind of networking and analyze how the public can (or could be) better involved. Finally, recommendations for cities and regions, particularly from Switzerland, will be given.
