In 2050, 70 % of the world population will live in cities. The process of urbanisation is particularly pronounced in developing and emerging countries. This implies a variety of challenges, regarding administration and urban development, the adequate supply of housing, water, mobility and food. The consequences of climate change are felt locally and must be dealt with locally. In view of these challenges, it makes sense for local authorities to work together to find solutions to similar problems, replicate best practices and share existing expertise. Municipal partnerships offer a good opportunity for this. This panel will address challenges that cities face and explore the potential of municipal cooperation in order to tackle those challenges.

Abstract
In 2050, 70 % of the world population will live in cities. The process of urbanisation is particularly pronounced in developing and emerging countries. This implies a variety of challenges, regarding administration and urban development, the adequate supply of housing, water, mobility and food. The consequences of climate change are felt locally and must be dealt with locally. In view of these challenges, it makes sense for local authorities to work together to find solutions to similar problems, replicate best practices and share existing expertise. Municipal partnerships offer a good opportunity for this. This panel will address challenges that cities face and explore the potential of municipal cooperation in order to tackle those challenges.
