Network: Learning Cities: Meeting Today’s Challenges for a Better Future
Whatever the other surprises it brought, 2016 was an important year for international statements and declarations on cities and urban policy. Among the most significant, 2016 saw the publication of the Basque Declaration from the Covenant of Mayors in Europe in April, the Glasgow Declaration from the PASCAL International Conference on Learning Cities in June 2016, the Bogota declaration from United Cities Local and Regional Governments (UCLG) at their World Summit in October 2016 and culminated in the Quito declaration on the New Urban Agenda agreed at the UN Habitat III meeting also in October 2016.
