2021 – EVENT ONE
Venice City Solutions
4TH EDITION
SDGs SOLUTIONS TO RETHINK THE CITY
Venice City Solutions 2030 4th edition
Online 2nd and 3rd December 2021
In this fourth edition, we want to gather innovative solutions that local governments and their partners are already experimenting and bringing into our streets. How cities are getting inspired by the SDGs, turning around old ways of doing things, and engaging citizens into local action. This year’s concept wants to “go to the point”, by offering a platform to share with us what our partners are doing differently, how they are using SDGs as a tool to transform the city. The COVID 19 crisis has given us many reasons to RETHINK. And we need to RETHINK the city, as a place in constant transformation, because innovation happens in cities. This year, we want to find responses to some of these questions:
- How are the SDGs guiding the action of Mayors and city practitioners?
- How is Agenda 2030 influencing city planning and budgeting?
- How are SDGs changing the way local government plan and deliver services?
- Is Agenda 2030 helping cities to innovate, how and where?
