How do European municipalities create child-friendly neighbourhoods? How do city administrations develop and construct urban spaces and encourage interaction between all citizens, regardless of their age, social position and ethnicity? How do cities manage to meet the high standards of ecological sustainability when they develop strategies for infrastructure and housing of neighbourhoods?

On the 14th and 15th of May 2012, the members of the Network discussed these questions with urban planners Angelus Eisinger, Angela Uttke, practitioners, politicians, representatives from international institutions and representatives of the patron institutions of the Network, the Committee of the Regions, the Council of European Municipalities and Regions and the Congress of Local and Regional Authorities of the Council of Europe.
