From strategy to action: practical training on land suitability analysis for sustainable development in functional urban areas

Land suitability analysis is a valuable tool for determining how to use land, assets and opportunities to ensure the sustainable urban development and resilience of a functional urban area. This technical training from the European Urban Initiative focuses on building the practical skills of urban authorities, enabling them to apply the land suitability analysis methodology developed by the World Bank and the European Commission. Participants learn to establish a multilevel governance structure and apply the tool to real local challenges. The training supports the design of actionable, place-based projects that align with sustainable urban development strategies and EU priorities.
