The UrbanCommunity project builds off of the legacy of the highly successful (ICLEI-coordinated) UrbanA project. The project previously provided nine “urban experimenters” (chosen from over 110 applications!) with micro-grants to support their work building sustainable and just cities. Now the project is providing micro-grants to six additional experimenters to conduct short processes of collaboration with their local municipalities over the Summer of 2024.

Micro-grant receipients form a community that ICLEI supports with workshops and resources. They are connected to wider (global) groups of advocates for sustainable and just cities through events and online CommunityConversations. In other words: the UrbanCommunity project recognises, supports and brokers the knowledge and experiences of those who are acting locally to create sustainable and just cities.
