The third Eurocities Cities’ Social Summit aims at bringing together cities, EU and national leaders for a direct dialogue on how to join forces to build more inclusive and resilient urban areas. Cities are indispensable partners in advancing the European social model and turning the principles of the European Pillar of Social Rights (EPSR) into reality.
The event will gather Mayors and Deputy Mayors from all over Europe to look into how cities’ political commitments contributed to translating the principles of the Pillar into concrete actions and the positive impact they had on people’s lives. The event will also facilitate an open dialogue with EU policymakers on how to strengthen the urban dimension within the new Action Plan on the Implementation of the EPSR to help cities address pressing social challenges such as rising poverty, a lack of affordable housing, homelessness, and social exclusion.
