Objective
CapaCITIES is a European project funded by the Horizon Europe program, designed to support national and regional authorities in advancing their governance structures and thus providing specific support to cities in achieving the European Union’s Cities Mission. To this end, the work in the countries has a top-down approach, which seeks to actively support and involve national authorities by promoting and strengthening the development of national platforms in all Member States, involving diverse actors in the dialogue and in the design of strategies and plans for progress in each national context.
Our role
The UPM, through itdUPM, coordinates the design of national work plans aimed at strengthening and creating national and regional support structures that facilitate the implementation of the EU Cities Mission in participating countries. Its functions include strategic planning and the implementation of actions aimed at improving multilevel governance, supporting both existing national platforms and the establishment of new platforms in countries joining the effort. In addition, we develop training resources and promote the exchange of good practices and success stories between countries. All of this is intended to strengthen effective collaboration between levels of government, the private sector, and civil society.
