City-to City cooperation:
Cooperation among local entities at the subnational level is a promising way to generate new urban experiences for sustainable development. Cooperation among cities at a global level allows for a valuable exchange of experiences, best practices, and peer-to-peer knowledge transfer in order to further improve public management and identify innovative solutions for cities.
Natural resources:
The clear relationship between the environment and human activities is becoming increasingly evident. This creates a wide range of opportunities for social actors who need to identify a set of public policies, economic-financial instruments, and technological solutions to preserve and conserve natural capital to provide ecosystem services to society as well as to the urban environment.
