Indicators | |
Goals | Industrial legacy cities were
once home to innovation, technological developments and new ideas. Change is still engrained in their identity – just now they use these characteristics to achieve new transition goals. Alliance cities have learned to embrace the opportunities of ongoing urban transitions and actively shape their local environments. |
