The 5th European Summit of Regions and Cities will take place on the 22 and 23 March 2012. This high-level event is dedicated to "The European urban fabric in the 21st century", a concept taking account of the long-standing capacity of European cities and regions to re-invent themselves in terms of liveability, with enhanced cultural, economic and social exchanges generated by innovative urban planning.
It is an opportunity to share best local and regional practices, as well as a strong political commitment in the field of sustainable urban development, in the run-up to Rio+20 and beyond. Hosted in an environment known for the high quality of life, architectural achievements, accomplishments in sustainable development and social cohesion, the Summit will offer an excellent opportunity to reflect on the European model for the "urban fabric".
As at previous summits, Mayors of municipalities and Presidents of regions are invited to voice their views on the many challenges they face and to present some of their practical solutions and innovative approaches, during various workshops and as part of the accompanying exhibition on best urban development practices.
