As the New Urban Project (NUP) nears completion, the OWHC invites member cities to participate in three virtual CityLabs in April: online workshops that will address essential topics that have not yet been sufficiently covered. These workshops will allow to us to explore specific problematics in more depth and transform them into concrete contributions to the NUP, with the aim of enhancing the habitability of our historic centers.

The following three themes have been prioritized and will be coordinated by a pilot member city:

• Culture of cooperation –Bordeaux: 1 April 8:30–10:00 (EST) | 14:30–16:00 (CET)
• Managing Tourism in Historic City Centers: Balancing Habitability, Heritage and Economy –Amsterdam: 2 April 9:30–11:00 (EST) | 15:30–17:00 (CET)

Please note that this CityLab will be conducted in English only.

• Energy efficiency –Luxembourg: 9 April 9:00–10:30 (EST) | 15:00–16:30 (CET)

For more information on the themes presented and the participation conditions, please refer to the concept note below.

Registration is open until 27 February 2026. Interested cities must complete the online registration form, which can also be found in the concept note. Selected candidates will be notified on 4 March 2026.

Join us: every contribution strengthens our collective action and advances the future of our historic centres.
