GFA / IURC - International Urban & Regional Cooperation
The European Union International Urban and Regional Cooperation project (IURC, 2021-2024) aimed to lead and develop a form of decentralised international urban and regional cooperation in the fields of sustainable urban development and innovation, in key partner countries and regions in line with the external dimension of “Europe 2020.” IURC optimised the added value of international cooperation into a global network of reference for urban & regional innovation.
As part of its collaboration with the GFA Consulting Group, Environmental Minds was responsible for the Indian component of the project. In close cooperation with three Indian experts Environmental Minds managed the project focusing on cooperation between EU and Indian cities on sustainable urbanization (e.g., mobility, flood monitoring, solid waste management), exchange of best practices, organisation of exchange visits, development of pilot projects, and formulation of capacity building events.
