Abstract

Despite the prolonged, unbridled process of urbanization that has concentrated 53% of the world’s population and more than 73% of the European population in cities, the confirmation of an Urban Agenda on the international level is still struggling to take off. As has been highlighted many times, this disappointing result stands in open contrast to the many initiatives assumed in recent decades by the United Nations and the European Commission, so that national governments have almost worked alone and in a convergent way over this period to maintain control of their respective urban policies (Boni 2016).

The first four partnerships have already begun. These relate to air quality, housing, urban poverty, and the integration of migrants and refugees. The countries and administrations involved are the following:
  • The city of Amsterdam (Netherlands) coordinates the partnership on migrant inclusion. Also participating are Barcelona (Spain), Berlin (Germany), Athens (Greece), and Helsinki (Finland).
  • The Netherlands coordinates the partnership on air quality. Also participating are Helsinki (Finland), London (UK), Utrecht (Netherlands), Milan (Italy), and Constanƫa (Romania).
  • Slovakia coordinates the partnership on housing. Also participating are Vienna (Austria), Riga (Latvia), the Scottish Cities Alliance (UK), Poznań (Poland), and Lisbon (Portugal).
  • Belgium and France coordinate the partnership on urban poverty. Also participating are Birmingham (UK), Kortrijk (Belgium), Lille (France), Daugavpils (Latvia), Timişoara (Romania), Łódź (Poland), and Keratsini (Greece).
In January 2017, four new partnerships began on the themes of the circular economy in cities, the digital transition, urban mobility, and the jobs and skills market. Finally, by the end of summer 2017, the last four partnerships will have begun related to themes of the energy transition, adaptation to climate change, regulation of public procurements, and sustainable land use.
