What happens when cities on opposite sides of the world start talking to each otherFood waste in Vicenza.Traffic congestion in Kuala Lumpur.Clean energy ambitions in Sofia.A blue economy taking shape in Tierra del Fuego.At first glance, these places have nothing in common. And yet, they’re dealing with the same questions:How do we move people better?How do we waste less?How do we protect our coasts?How do we build a future that actually works for our communities?That’s where the IURC Programme comes in.With EU support, city leaders from across Europe, Asia, Latin America and beyond are connecting — not to exchange speeches, but to share what works. What failed. What can be adapted. What can be done together.In Barcelona this November, more than 240 people from 130 cities spent three intense days doing exactly that: sitting together, comparing notes, shaping ideas that will turn into real pilot projects over the next two years.The results already speak for themselves:🚗 smarter parking in Indian cities🏫 climate-resilient schools in Chile🌊 floating infrastructure in Belize💧 water pollution solutions in BangkokWhat makes this powerful isn’t scale — it’s relevance.Cities don’t need perfect models. They need practical answers, learned from others facing the same reality.@IURC shows that when local problems are shared globally, solutions become stronger — and communities benefit.#Cities #LocalSolutions #GlobalCooperation #UrbanFuture
