.@TimmermansEU: Le #EUCities non sono isole. Possono prosperare solo se prosperano anche le aree rurali intorno alle città. Sarebbe un vantaggio per tutti.

Un bellissimo invito alla collaborazione tra città, regioni e cittadini 🏘️🤝🇪🇺

Minister @BartSomers nam deel aan het #CitiesForum gisteren en besprak er het belang van integratie van migranten op lokaal niveau 👇🏻
RT @EUinmyRegion: "We might think that #UkrainianRefugees will return to Ukraine after the crisis, but many have found a job, made friends, created a new life in 🇧🇪... and some will want to stay. We have to be aware of this in order to prepare for it." - @BartSomers @vlaamseoverheid.

RT @SmetPascal: The #CitiesForum rightly emphasises that the green transition also needs to be fair and just. People are asked to adapt their habits, insulate houses, buy expensive electric vehicles, ... If we want to avoid a backlash we must ensure that support reaches all citizens.
