This is our third update in 2026, and we are delighted to share with you our latest news. We continue to enjoy success in our research projects, delivering relevant results. We are also celebrating the start of our new EU Horizon Bottom-Up NEBourhoods project. The recent successful launch of our publication on Urban Planning Systems, in partnership with Cities Forum, motivates us to initiate exciting future activities. We are planning new initiatives such as global Urban Thinkers Campuses, publishing an interview series with high-level professionals, and developing new project proposals. Furthermore, the Institute is delighted to engage in cooperation with a brand-new initiative, the Institute for Sustainable Cities & Responsible Enterprises (ISCRE) – a Global South Centre of Excellence connecting urban systems with capital, enterprise, and green growth across Asia, Africa and Latin America. We are looking forward to working with you in 2026 and beyond!
