Eurocities’ work on sustainable culture is embodied by the Eurocities Lille Call to Action for Sustainable and Inclusive Culture. This online hub explains the Call’s origins, vision and structure, tracks its growing community of signatory cities across Europe, gathers relevant news and resources and acts as a repository for 100+ city initiatives collected under the call – inspirational practices for the cultural sector from sustainable public procurement to democratic participation.
