Regional Fora

Cities and their metropolitan areas face similar challenges and seek appropriate solutions for their specific geographical and socio-economic contexts. Signatories, national and international players meet and exchange regularly also within their respective regions, taking an important step in localizing the MUFPP recommended actions. From this perspective, the MUFPP Regional Fora are a formidable expression of the diversity and regional vivacity of Milan Pact cities.
