Cultural synergies

The "Culture and Cultural Heritage Partnership (CCHP) of the EU Urban Agenda" aims to identify solutions that improve the management of the historic building environment and promote culture and the quality of urban landscapes.
The webinar focused on the similarities between the two initiatives, highlighting how local communities can benefit from valorising heritage and culture.
