Preparation of the Integrated Action plan for localisation of Sustainable Development Goals in Klaipeda city.

Xwhy works in the areas of placemaking, cultural research, data sensemaking and sustainable development. Depending on the nature of the ongoing projects and cases, we constantly collaborate with experts from education, urbanism, business, anthropology, ethnography, creative industries, and other fields. Our interdisciplinary team consists of devoted experts from philosophy, art, business anthropology and communication with a multicultural experience that allows solving problems in a sustainable way.

The project we are inviting you to join is all about helping cities to plan for sustainable and integrated urban development. In March 2021, the Global Goals for Cities network was launched, where 19 partner cities across Europe are coming together to work on “localising the SDGs” – using URBACT’s integrated action planning method. You can read more about the network in this introductory article: https://urbact.eu/urbact-cities-for-global-sustainability

The challenge of the project for Klaipeda city – together with local government, businesses, municipality administration, representatives of other relevant institutions and public representatives to prepare an analysis of the situation regarding the sustainable development of Klaipeda city and the plan for the future.

2. Setting of focus and objectives
