Sustainable & Resilient Urban-Rural Partnerships International Conference in Leipzig

JPI Urban Europe partners with the Sustainable & Resilient Urban-Rural Partnerships International Conference, #URP2020, in Leipzig, Germany. You can now watch the recording of one of the sessions joined by, amongst others, Margit Noll and Johannes Riegler: URP2020: S03 “Urban-Rural Partnerships: Driving Transitions Through Science-Policy Cooperation”.

The URP2020 conference aims at developing new urban-rural imaginaries, integrating strategies and projects that explore present and future potentials in terms of sustainability and resilience. The conference brings together and connects recent scientific insights and enlightening experiences of on-going projects in practice. It stimulates learning on various levels, i.e. from the local level via entire regions to the broader European understanding of integrated urban-rural development. It draws specific attention to closing the gap between available scientific knowledge on the one hand and decision making in practice on the other. Focus is on the implementation of key elements of the revised Leipzig Charter, which will be signed by the European ministers responsible for urban and regional planning during their meeting in Leipzig, 30th November and 1st December 2020.
