💧 𝗪𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗱𝗼𝗲𝘀 𝗮 𝘄𝗮𝘁𝗲𝗿-𝘀𝗲𝗻𝘀𝗶𝘁𝗶𝘃𝗲 𝗰𝗶𝘁𝘆 𝗹𝗼𝗼𝗸 𝗹𝗶𝗸𝗲 𝗶𝗻 𝗽𝗿𝗮𝗰𝘁𝗶𝗰𝗲?

The 𝗪𝗮𝘁𝗲𝗿 𝗦𝗲𝗻𝘀𝗶𝘁𝗶𝘃𝗲 𝗖𝗶𝘁𝘆 𝗣𝗮𝗿𝘁𝗻𝗲𝗿𝘀𝗵𝗶𝗽 puts water at the heart of urban development – connecting water management, spatial planning and climate resilience.

This discussion comes at a time when water resilience is moving higher up the European agenda, including through the European Commission’s new European Water Initiative. For cities, the key question is how this growing policy focus can translate into changes in planning, investment and everyday water management.
At the 𝐄𝐔𝐈 𝐅𝐨𝐜𝐮𝐬𝐞𝐝 𝐏𝐨𝐥𝐢𝐜𝐲 𝐋𝐚𝐛 𝐨𝐧 𝐰𝐚𝐭𝐞𝐫 𝐦𝐚𝐧𝐚𝐠𝐞𝐦𝐞𝐧𝐭, this connection will come to life through city experiences, peer exchange and practical discussions on how to turn ideas into action.

As 𝗕𝗲𝗮𝘁𝗿𝗶𝘇 𝗣𝗲𝗿𝗲𝗶𝗿𝗮, from Coimbra, lead city of the Water Sensitive City Partnership, puts it:
“𝘛𝘩𝘦 𝘞𝘢𝘵𝘦𝘳 𝘚𝘦𝘯𝘴𝘪𝘵𝘪𝘷𝘦 𝘊𝘪𝘵𝘺 𝘗𝘢𝘳𝘵𝘯𝘦𝘳𝘴𝘩𝘪𝘱 𝘱𝘶𝘵𝘴 𝘸𝘢𝘵𝘦𝘳 𝘢𝘵 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘩𝘦𝘢𝘳𝘵 𝘰𝘧 𝘶𝘳𝘣𝘢𝘯 𝘥𝘦𝘷𝘦𝘭𝘰𝘱𝘮𝘦𝘯𝘵, 𝘤𝘰𝘯𝘯𝘦𝘤𝘵𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘸𝘢𝘵𝘦𝘳 𝘮𝘢𝘯𝘢𝘨𝘦𝘮𝘦𝘯𝘵, 𝘴𝘱𝘢𝘵𝘪𝘢𝘭 𝘱𝘭𝘢𝘯𝘯𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘤𝘭𝘪𝘮𝘢𝘵𝘦 𝘳𝘦𝘴𝘪𝘭𝘪𝘦𝘯𝘤𝘦.

On 28–29 October, the 15th EUI Peer Review brought together Tønder (Denmark), the host city, alongside Zadar (Croatia) and Brad (Romania), for two days of peer learning and exchange.

Through interactive discussions, group sessions and study visits, the three cities explored common challenges related to governance, funding, stakeholder engagement, climate resilience, sustainable tourism and mobility. By sharing experiences and practical solutions, they gained new perspectives on their Sustainable Urban Development (SUD) strategies and identified concrete actions to address their local challenges.

The Peer Review also provided an opportunity to discover local initiatives in and around Tønder, learn from other European urban authorities and explore new opportunities for collaboration.

Following the event, the three cities under review will receive personalised reports with recommendations and practical ideas to help them move forward with their urban development strategies.

A big thank you to the participating cities, peer reviewers, experts and local partners for contributing to these two days of exchange and collaboration! 👏

Vienna wants to make better use of its urban property while meeting growing housing needs and building a more sustainable city.

To explore new solutions, Vienna is turning to Ljubljana and Amsterdam, two cities with valuable experience to share.

From integrating green spaces into urban development to exploring circular construction and innovative property management, Vienna hopes to find inspiration for its own strategy.

🌿 Designing with water: the spatial turn
📡 Knowing your water: Data, tools and decision making
🤝 Making it happen: Governance, finance, participation and culture

The workshops are designed to create space for practical exchange: share your city’s experience, learn from others and explore approaches that could be adapted to your own context.

From resilience and nature-based solutions to digital tools, governance and financing, the sessions explore some of the practical questions cities face as Europe strengthens its focus on water resilience.

Lyngby-Taarbæk wants to develop a sustainable food policy to reduce the climate impact of municipal food procurement and encourage more sustainable food habits among its residents.

To find inspiration, the Danish city turned to Bergamo, whose Food Policy Strategy and La Buona Mensa initiative offer practical examples of how cities can promote healthy diets, support local agriculture and reduce food waste.

Through a three-day exchange, Lyngby-Taarbæk explored new approaches to sustainable food systems, including Bergamo’s Good Canteens initiative.

When Stalowa Wola, Poland, requested an EUI Peer Review, it was looking for ways to attract and retain young talent, strengthen its local innovation ecosystem and diversify funding to support its Sustainable
Urban Development Strategy.

🤝 Peers from Jonadi, Italy, and Coimbra, Portugal, shared practical advice: create a Living Lab connecting businesses, universities and citizens; strengthen the city’s brand; build education-business partnerships; and explore new funding sources.

✅ 𝗙𝗿𝗼𝗺 𝗽𝗲𝗲𝗿 𝗹𝗲𝗮𝗿𝗻𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘁𝗼 𝗮𝗰𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻: Stalowa Wola has submitted several external funding applications inspired by the recommendations received during the Peer Review. The Stalowowolska Agencja Rozwoju Regionalnego, as the city's development partner, supports this process by translating recommendations into project concepts, funding opportunities and international cooperation, building international innovation hub concentrated on space, defence and dual-use technologies.

🚀 𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗰𝗼𝗹𝗹𝗮𝗯𝗼𝗿𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗰𝗼𝗻𝘁𝗶𝗻𝘂𝗲𝘀 𝘁𝗵𝗿𝗼𝘂𝗴𝗵 𝘁𝘄𝗼 𝗖𝗶𝘁𝘆-𝘁𝗼-𝗖𝗶𝘁𝘆 𝗘𝘅𝗰𝗵𝗮𝗻𝗴𝗲𝘀:
𝗪𝗶𝘁𝗵 𝗝𝗼𝗻𝗮𝗱𝗶 (𝗜𝘁𝗮𝗹𝘆): exploring how Living Labs and new forms of citizen engagement can help involve young people in shaping their city's future, tackle brain drain and strengthen the local innovation ecosystem.
With Coimbra (Portugal): developing the SPACE 4 TALENTS accelerator concept, learning how to connect research, business and public authorities, support space-tech start-ups and explore accelerator models and cascade funding mechanisms.

🌍 Peer Reviews help cities learn from one another, turn fresh ideas into concrete actions, and build partnerships for a more sustainable urban future.

For Stalowa Wola, the real value lies in turning shared knowledge into concrete opportunities for the city and its residents.

Apply now and turn your strategic challenges into tangible results.
📅 Applications are open until 12 November.
