Yesterday, on 14 June 2023, UCLG and Cities Alliance co-organized an open debate entitled “Addressing Inequalities and Informalities: Rethinking Financing and the Role of Local and Regional Governments.” The event took place in the afternoon as part of UCLG’s Executive Bureau and within the framework of the Brussels Urban Summit.
The discussion focused on tackling the root causes of inequalities and their relationship with the economic system, governance models, territorial and urban development. Additionally, there was an emphasis on restructuring global financial systems to better meet the needs of local communities.
Join us tomorrow for our In-Focus feature, where we will provide a detailed account of the discussion and share the perspectives of the local leaders who participated.
