Àrea Metropolitana de Barcelona

La conferencia de noviembre se centra en el bienestar desde una perspectiva metropolitana, equilibrando la economía, el bienestar social y la ecología entre sí, tanto aquí y ahora, como en el futuro y en otras partes del mundo (prosperidad amplia). La perspectiva de bienestar de la prosperidad amplia puede ayudar a la Unión Europea y a las regiones urbanas a establecer prioridades y tomar decisiones equilibradas para el futuro. 

En un contexto de grandes retos en ámbitos como la vivienda, el medio ambiente, la energía, el trabajo, la sanidad y la educación, en el que cada vez se oye con más fuerza la llamada a dar prioridad al bienestar, la reunión ofrece una oportunidad única para que las metrópolis europeas hagan oír su voz colectiva y defiendan los intereses de las regiones metropolitanas. 

Es importante destacar que el foro EMA de este año tendrá lugar tras las elecciones europeas, lo que supone una excelente oportunidad para presentar la importancia de la dimensión metropolitana a las nuevas instituciones europeas. 

All delegates must register by filling out this form at your earliest convenience.
