International conference

THE FUTURE of our CITIES

Make them attractive and climate-proof

26th-27th February 2013, Hastings, UK

The FUTURE CITIES partnership celebrated its final conference to share knowledge and look forward.

How can we make our future cities attractive and climate-proof?

  • Adaptation strategies and innovative pilot projects from Belgium, France, Germany, the Netherlands and Great Britain were discussed.
  • Representatives from the EU and national levels discussed about recent adaptation policies and future perspectives of the funding programmes.

The conference took place at a very special conference venue - the Sussex Exchange, which was developed with the support of the international partnership.
