18:00 - 19:15 Plenary Session "Cities for the future"

Climate change is the challenge of our time and requires brave and ambitious visions, concrete decisions and projects involving all citizens, young people, and economic and social partners across Europe.

How does the global climate march movement affect the visions and decisions of politicians in charge of key areas of transformation, ranging from urban planning and mobility to the energy transition?

At the same time, new technologies and other ways of communicating are becoming important tools for visualising urban transitions, and they can also encourage citizen participation in the project for a more sustainable city.

Changemakers will present their plans for the greener, more sustainable but also fair and inclusive transition of our cities.
