The Networks we belong to

The city networks are those of Local authorities interested in exchanging good practice experiences, developing new projects, and examining specific themes linked to the formation of urban policies. They carry out a key role in encouraging the comparison between the various urban policies of both European and non-European local authorities. The presence of the City of Modena in the city networks constitutes not only an extraordinary way of comparing the experiences of Modena with others and gaining recognition for the work done, but it also provides an important channel for the promotion of the city on an international level.

Furthermore, its participation in these networks has shown to be a precious tool in the search for partners in the presentation of European projects.

Progetto Europa offers assistance to departments of the Administration seeking participation in European and international networks on particular issues, coordinating communications and relationships with other partners, the attendance of international meetings, and promoting the presentation of common projects.

The City of Modena is currently part of the following networks:
