URBACT II was a 2007-2013 European program that promoted sustainable urban development through city networks. URBACT III will continue this mission from 2014-2020 with increased funding. Key achievements of URBACT II included over 50 networks involving 450 cities, 4000 local stakeholders, and 260 action plans. URBACT III will focus on enhancing institutional capacity, improving sustainable urban policy design and implementation, and ensuring practitioners have access to knowledge sharing. It will strengthen transnational exchange through networks on topics like low-carbon economies. Activities will also expand capacity building and disseminate results more at the national level.
