Because urban innovation has the greatest impact when ideas, experiences and solutions travel beyond city borders.

Visitors explored PORTICO, the EUI knowledge platform, discovering inspiring urban practices, policy insights, and opportunities for collaboration and peer learning ๐Ÿค๐Ÿ“š

Two inspiring days of peer exchange in the beautiful city of Prague, Czech Republic ๐Ÿ‡จ๐Ÿ‡ฟโœจ.

Peer Review 14 brought together cities, experts and practitioners from across Europe to reflect on sustainable urban development strategies and learn from one another!

This edition focused on Prague, Brindisi, Kavala, and the Helsinki Capital Region (Helsinki, Espoo, and Vantaa), each facing its own challenges, ranging from stakeholder engagement and demographic decline to metropolitan cooperation and effective monitoring systems.

This Peer Review combined strategy presentations, breakout discussions with peers, interactive sessions, study visits, and the drafting of concrete recommendations.

๐Ÿ’ก Following the Peer Review, cities under review will receive personalised reports with practical recommendations and support to pursue a City-to-City Exchange - a further step toward achieving their goals.

๐Ÿ™๏ธ Beyond the sessions, it was also about forming connections and creating opportunities for future collaboration.

๐Ÿค Thank you to everyone who contributed to the discussions.

๐Ÿค Intrested in becoming a peer reviewer? You can apply via the ongoing call and contribute your expertise to support upcoming Peer Reviews.

The EU nature restoration regulation is clear: cities must halt the loss of green spaces and tree canopy cover by 2030 โ€” and increase them steadily after that. Meeting these targets requires skills, tools, and knowledge that many local authorities are still building.
The European Urban Initiative (EUI) is preparing a dedicated capacity building event in 2 parts, designed specifically to help cities and regions turn legal obligations into concrete action:
