The New Urban Agenda: The challenges of Cities


Barcelona Summer School in Global Politics, Development and Security

  • June 25 and 26

Its main element is to consider urbanization as an instrument to generate value and, consequently, as an instrument for job creation, prosperity and sustainable development.
