The EU has launched a Mission on Climate-Neutral and Smart Cities that aims to mobilise local authorities, citizens, businesses, investors, and national authorities to achieve climate neutrality by 2030. Thriving Communities is all about helping communities to achieve this sort of mission. Pursuing climate neutral cities is one of the key areas that we work on. Here are links to some of our recent events and articles on this topic:

Placemaking for Civic Imagination is on the critical path towards Thriving Communities, because it paves the way for a paradigm shift in the role that citizens play in deciding how their community assets are developed and managed.

all communities to work on this area as part of their overall radical change process.
We have advancing our Placemaking for Civic Imagination programme thanks to current support for the PLACE project from the Citizens, Equality, Rights and Values programme of the European Union. Project partners are Korimako, KLIK, PUSH and Placemaking Europe (working closely with Placemaking Western Balkans).
