Strengthening Europe’s Security Through Resilient Cities
Cities and urban areas are home to the vast majority of Europe’s population. Around 75% of Europeans live in cities, towns, and suburbs, making urban areas central to the security and resilience of the European Union. Ensuring that cities are adequately resourced and prepared to respond to crises is therefore essential. This event will explore how cities across the EU are addressing a wide range of challenges—from geopolitical tensions and healthcare threats to natural disasters. By sharing real experiences and lessons learned, the seminar will highlight the vital role cities play in protecting citizens and maintaining stability in times of crisis.
Supporting Europe’s Preparedness and Resilience
The seminar will contribute to ongoing discussions within the European Union on the future of the EU budget, civil protection, and resilience policies. It will provide a platform for dialogue between policymakers and urban leaders, with the aim of strengthening a more place-based EU approach to preparedness. Recognising cities as indispensable partners in safeguarding citizens and strengthening Europe’s security will be central to the discussion.
