With just weeks to go before the Cities Forum, demand for participation has exceeded expectations and the in-person edition, hosted by the city of Kraków, has now reached full capacity! A sign of the high level of interest from across Europe in contributing to the EU agenda for cities. To meet this high demand and ensure broad access, a dedicated online programme is now available, enabling even more voices to connect and share their ideas.
