Barcelona, Spain, 26 and 27 September 2023
The course "Urban and metropolitan policies aligned with the 2030 Agenda" was held in Barcelona, organised jointly by IBEI, the Barcelona Metropolitan Area (AMB) and UN-Habitat. Through a series of sessions led by academic researchers, practitioners and specialized consultants, the aim was to familiarize participants with some of the main challenges and tools of policy, governance and financing in cities and metropolitan areas. The course as a whole offered attendees a space to learn and discuss the main challenges and dynamics of urban areas, as well as to build synergies between academic perspectives and practice on the ground, in order to generate better urban policies.
A report summarizing the main points addressed in the course sessions has been prepared by IBEI researchers and UN-Habitat specialists.
