Action Plan for Cities
Summary
"Action Plan for Cities. Model Locality ” is a unique program, which was established on the initiative of the Ministry of Development Funds and Regional Policy of Poland. Its aim is to: - mobilize Polish cities to undertake activities for sustainable transformation and implementation of the Sustainable Development Goals at the local level; - include them in the global discussion on sustainable urbanization trends; - popularize SDG's implementation as part of the cities' own tasks. The result of the participation of each city in the program will be the implementation of the selected project by the end of 2022, although a significant number of projects will also be continued in the following years. Each project complies with the declared Sustainable Development Goal in accordance with the city's needs. Action Plan for Cities is presented in the form of a catalogue of activities, a common vision of sustainable development developed through the exchange of experiences and transformations along to the long-term aspirations of cities. Project was run by the Institute of Urban and Regional Development. The detailed information can be found here: https://pdm.irmir.pl/dobre-praktyki
