How can exchange between urban practitioners contribute to joint learning? How to use good practices on urban topics, for example from Germany, Thailand and Indonesia?

Connective Cities showed how practice-oriented exchange of experiences works and how the implementation of the New Urban Agenda can be supported by municipal partnerships and networks of practitioners.

Increasing the number of pedestrians and cyclists, decreasing the number of cars as well as reducing CO2-Emissions and air pollution in the old town of Chiang Mai are just some of the key objectives of the new Roadmap.

Joint publications, exchange and analysis of information, improvement of the methodology and evaluation, stronger usage of data in politics – the retrospection became an outlook for a stronger collaboration in an enlarged stakeholder landscape.
