The workshop "Rethinking the post-industrial transition in cities and regions" aims to discuss why EU policies, such as the Green Deal Industrial Plan, would benefit from considering cities’ and regions’ territorial perspective. Local and regional authorities help to adapt and shift their territories, yet require strong EU policies, to collectively contribute to the green and digital transition. 

The workshop will consider the territorial constraints and regular cooperation between city centres, peri-urban and rural areas. Developing productive areas in cities and regions can create local value-chains, stimulating a local circular and decarbonised economy and more efficient technologies. It is also an opportunity for providing new jobs which are located within the city or close to the cities, and also to develop a more functional and social mix.
