This webinar looks at the key issue of governance when applied to sustainable urban development. It will include the direct experience of policy-makers in facilitating coordination between different levels of government, and in identifying and involving all relevant stakeholders, including ways that strengthen citizen engagement.

Following the structure of the Handbook, the UDN webinars will be composed of six sessions, each one focusing on one of the building blocks of the EU integrated approach to urban development, namely: strategic dimension, territorial focus, governance, cross-sectoral integration, funding and finance and monitoring
