Policy Brief: Principles for sustainable just cities

#policymakers Policy Brief

Our cities are shaped by crises, or perhaps more accurately by the collective and creative responses that we bring to them. This situation throws a stark light on a dual imperative if our cities are to meet this barrage of burdens: they must accelerate their transitions to sustainability, and do so in a way that is just.

Accordingly, a set of nine principles for sustainable just cities has been developed, aimed specifically at influencing EU-level policy-making on sustainable urban development from the perspective of justice, inclusion, diversity and equity.
