Nordic urban experience

 

The "Urban Workshop: Learning from the Nordic Experience" fosters the meeting and exchange of experiences and lessons learned between mayors and municipal technical officers from Latin America and the Caribbean with their peers from five Nordic countries: Denmark, Finland, Iceland, Norway and Sweden. Based on the Nordic urban experience, from the IDB Cities Network we intend to facilitate the exchange of knowledge and lessons learned in terms of sustainability, competitiveness and inclusion for a better quality of life in Latin American and Caribbean cities. In addition to public authorities, the meeting had the active participation of leaders in sustainable urban development of international entities, the private sector, and civil society. As a workshop, field activities were contemplated, including physical visits in the cities of Copenhagen and Malmö.
