Waking up the power of cities and citizens. Cities are taking a protagonist role in addressing global challenges such as climate change and social exclusion. Policy makers are adopting new strategies with the rise of digital tools and citizen empowerment. We will learn from the city leaders how this can be done in a collaborative way? which are the best practices so far? how cities are sharing knowledge with their citizens and globally? is democracy ready to make a big transformation?
