Urban environmental, climate, and social conditions are major factors for residents’ health and well-being. Air pollution, noise, temperature/heat, lack of green space, physical activity, and socioeconomic status affect health. In recent years, residents have become more aware of the environmental and climate
conditions in their cities. A clean urban environment is now a key factor in a city’s attractiveness.
The new policy briefing from UBDPolicy provides an overview of the key city networks active in the EU and how the EU Agenda for Cities aims to enhance collaboration between the urban, national, and EU levels. It also shows local authorities where to find good practice examples and provides them with science to policy recommendations, for both city- and EU-level decision makers.
The briefing is available in: Bulgarian, Dutch, English, French, Polish and Spanish.
