Places of connection - Learning Cities Platform

The European Learning Cities Platform, initiated by the Academy of Urbanism, INTA and Urban-imPulse, aims to provide a learning network for cities to share experiences, identify common problems and bring together the public, private and community partners to propose lasting solutions for managing the process for the transformation of cities. It is a network of people and places.

In June 2012 the first Learning Cities Platform event took place In Utrecht, Netherlands, hosted by the City of Utrecht. The invited cities reviewed their ambitions, and analysed and reflected on their flagship projects to reshape infrastructural space into meaningful places of connection.

Places of Connection is a record of the themes discussed and the concepts and principles resulting from the intensive two days of discussion and sharing of experience between the six cities and their projects.
