The art of grafting shows how a place can flourish by building on its assets and ‘twisting them’. Grafting a city is also a movement to transform street by street, house by house, place by place, increasing diversity and thus resilience.
This year the forum will be held under the theme Weaving connections, which will highlight the power of connections, not only among our community but also at local level, where different actors come together to develop mechanisms and projects that help them create sustainable and resilient ecosystems.
Energy Cities' forum will host cities’ representatives, organisations and relevant stakeholders to discuss the importance of forging connections to foster collective efforts and build a learning community for municipalities to share knowledge, experiences and best practices.
