DRAFT DECLARATION
The Forum will provide the framework to continue developing knowledge, exchanges and policy recommendations on the role of intermediary cities as catalysts of a different model of development, one that places care for the people and the planet at the center.
The above is summarized in the Kütahya Declaration, a document resulting from the consultation processes of the Forum, including the consultation sessions held last May, and enriched with the feedback received during the preparation of the Forum. Should you have any further inputs, do not hesitate contacting us.
For inquiries or additional information, please contact: intermediarycities@uclg.org.
We look forward to welcoming you!
Sincerely,
The UCLG World Secretariat
