Krakow takes centre stage as host of Cities Forum 2025!

The host city for the much-anticipated Cities Forum 2025 is Krakow. The European Commission's Directorate-General for Regional and Urban Policy (DG REGIO) event, organised by the European Urban Initiative (EUI), is a key platform for dialogue on the urban dimension of EU Cohesion policy.

After careful assessment of applications and the vote of the EU Member States during the Directors-General Meeting on Urban Matters, Krakow has been selected to welcome urban stakeholders from all corners of Europe to the 6th edition of the Cities Forum.
Krakow stood out for its particular commitment to sustainability, urban development and the organisation of the event. [Krakow] represents the spirit of progressive urban development that the Cities Forum seeks to promote.
 

What to expect?

Set in the heart of Krakow's vibrant urban fabric, Cities Forum 2025 promises to be the perfect place to exchange ideas, forge partnerships and shape the future of our cities. Participants can look forward to engaging discussions, interactive workshops, high-level sessions, and immersive experiences showcasing Krakow's achievements in sustainable urban development.
