Urban Transformation Forum: Cities as future leaders

  • July 5, 2024
  • STRATEGIC INNOVATION, URBAN TRANSFORMATION

Hosted by UNDP Europe and Central Asia in partnership with the Ministry of Finance of the Slovak Republic, the Catalyzing Urban Transformation regional forum brought together over 50 policymakers, urban planners, development experts, and private sector stakeholders to advance urban development through innovative and systemic approaches. 

Our video features dynamic snippets from the forum, interviews with key participants, and insights into the collaborative efforts of the Slovak Transformation Fund, and its flagship initiative City Experiment Fund (CEF). The video features our stakeholders from city initiatives and the Slovak Ministry of Finance. 

Watch the video to see how cities like Skopje, Pljevlja, Pristina, Almaty, and Stepanavan are pioneering innovative urban solutions and contributing to the creation of more liveable, inclusive, and resilient urban environments.
