  • PORTFOLIO DEVELOPMENT, URBAN TRANSFORMATION

The Mayors for Economic Growth (M4EG) initiative held a Partner Dialogue in Istanbul on 28 February 2023, bringing together representatives from the EU and UNDP and prominent partners such as Agence Française de Développement, Arup, Center for Public Impact, CHÔRA Design, Climate KIC, European Bank for Reconstruction and Development.

The discussion aimed to create a space for reflection on how to scale up learning and financing opportunities for the network of 400+ cities under the programme.
