International cooperation. We are committed to support the principles of urban sustainable development and participatory planning in transition countries and in developing countries.
Urban quality and safety. We support local actors dealing with urban safety and quality issues by designing strategies to strengthen the social fabric of a community and to protect vulnerable groups.
Inclusive decision making process. We promote and organize the participation of citizens in decision making processes that deal with urban policies, supporting the inclusion of the weaker components of the community in the process.
Housing policies. We aim at offering sustainable alternatives for social housing, activating the process of building of new houses or the renewal and reconversion of unused ones, through the methodologies of self-help build.
Research. We promote good planning and government through research and analysis into matters that are of interest to cities.
