Urban Contact Points | December 2023
The Network of Urban Contact Points (UCP) is a single network of contact points in the Member States, operating in the national language(s), established by the European Urban Initiative with the following main objectives:
- To increase the number of urban policy makers and practitioners at local, regional and national level participating in the activities of the EUI and the UAEU and to strengthen the links between the EU, national, regional and local levels.
- To improve the knowledge base and capacities of urban policy makers and practitioners at local, regional and national levels in the field of sustainable urban development.
- To encourage stakeholders, managing authorities, intermediary bodies and Article 11 (and 7) cities to take advantage of the support and opportunities offered by the EUI.
The UCPs will work in complementarity with the National URBACT Points.
