European Regions and Cities: Engines for Growth and Social Development?

As Europe’s economic recovery remains uncertain, regions and cities alike are already at the front line facing widening inequalities, spatial justice issues and climate emergency.

While they have the main responsibility of implementing social and economic policy on the path to 2030, they often do that with constrained fiscal powers and inability to access resources.

This conference will discuss the nature and scope of the growing challenges facing European regions and cities and how they could work together to cope with them. It will gather local authorities, policymakers, academics and investors to debate policy tools and innovative financial solutions.

With the new European Commission just starting off its mandate, the moment is right to discuss effective policies to strengthen regions and cities as major engines of inclusive growth and social development.
