Sustainable territorial and local development

The "EU Sustainable Cities and Towns Campaign" has a new website. It features information and tools to help cities and towns to develop, implement and monitor policies in support of local sustainable development.

 

The portal includes information on all activities linked to the campaign, an "event calendar", some practical tools to achieve sustainability locally, as well as "the link of the month". The website is currently only available in English.
