April 5th 2018 – Hoogeveen (NL)
Ten European cities inspire each other to create innovative strategies that revitalize the retail sector in medium-sized cities.
The cities participating in the RetaiLink network (a project in the URBACT programme) will develop Integrated Action Plans to enhance the competitiveness of small and/or independent retail businesses, considering them a key economic driver.
The project’s scope of work includes areas such as regulation, employment, urban planning, managing public spaces, mobility, cultural and creative industries and citizens participation. Our multi-stakeholder approach brings together public sector, private sector, retailers and major commercial operators, consumers or cultural and creative industries.
