ROCK CityTalks: Developing iconic urban actions in the ROCK replicator cities

Join this session to learn how the ROCK project supported the transformation of urban areas into cultural and sustainable neighbourhoods in the historic centres of Bologna, Lisbon and Skopje. Each city has worked on specific pilot areas, temporary projects and technological tools to monitor this transformation, using innovative governance models. Representatives of the three ROCK Replicator Cities share knowledge that emerged through experimentation and co-design, demonstrating actions that showcase local approaches to the ROCK project.
