Abstract

The time is ripe to establish a national urban agenda. Support comes from both the international institutions (UN 2030 Agenda for sustainable development, the Quito-Habitat III declaration and the III process in particular) and from the regional and local administrations (Bologna, Milan, Turin). Cooperation between policy makers and a broad range of actors has shown that suburbs renewal can be combined with local development, social inclusion - including migrants and refugees - and urban resilience (climate change mitigation and adaptation).
