This document summarizes key developments from the February 2011 issue of the EUROCITIES Flash newsletter. It discusses the European Commission's promise of an "ambitious urban agenda" and EUROCITIES' message that for cohesion policy to be effective, it must tap into the full capacities of cities and metropolitan areas. The document also outlines EUROCITIES' view that delivering an ambitious urban agenda requires compulsory urban earmarking in mainstream programs, a development and investment policy for the entire EU, involving cities at every stage of the process, and other measures. Finally, it previews EUROCITIES' work program for 2011, which will focus on issues like cohesion policy and the EU budget.

A Guide to AI for Smarter Nonprofits - Dr. Cori Faklaris, UNC CharlotteCori Faklaris
Working with data is a challenge for many organizations. Nonprofits in particular may need to collect and analyze sensitive, incomplete, and/or biased historical data about people. In this talk, Dr. Cori Faklaris of UNC Charlotte provides an overview of current AI capabilities and weaknesses to consider when integrating current AI technologies into the data workflow. The talk is organized around three takeaways: (1) For better or sometimes worse, AI provides you with “infinite interns.” (2) Give people permission & guardrails to learn what works with these “interns” and what doesn’t. (3) Create a roadmap for adding in more AI to assist nonprofit work, along with strategies for bias mitigation.

RFP for Reno's Community Assistance CenterThis Is Reno
Property appraisals completed in May for downtown Reno’s Community Assistance and Triage Centers (CAC) reveal that repairing the buildings to bring them back into service would cost an estimated $10.1 million—nearly four times the amount previously reported by city staff.
This report explores the significance of border towns and spaces for strengthening responses to young people on the move. In particular it explores the linkages of young people to local service centres with the aim of further developing service, protection, and support strategies for migrant children in border areas across the region. The report is based on a small-scale fieldwork study in the border towns of Chipata and Katete in Zambia conducted in July 2023. Border towns and spaces provide a rich source of information about issues related to the informal or irregular movement of young people across borders, including smuggling and trafficking. They can help build a picture of the nature and scope of the type of movement young migrants undertake and also the forms of protection available to them. Border towns and spaces also provide a lens through which we can better understand the vulnerabilities of young people on the move and, critically, the strategies they use to navigate challenges and access support.
The findings in this report highlight some of the key factors shaping the experiences and vulnerabilities of young people on the move – particularly their proximity to border spaces and how this affects the risks that they face. The report describes strategies that young people on the move employ to remain below the radar of visibility to state and non-state actors due to fear of arrest, detention, and deportation while also trying to keep themselves safe and access support in border towns. These strategies of (in)visibility provide a way to protect themselves yet at the same time also heighten some of the risks young people face as their vulnerabilities are not always recognised by those who could offer support.
In this report we show that the realities and challenges of life and migration in this region and in Zambia need to be better understood for support to be strengthened and tuned to meet the specific needs of young people on the move. This includes understanding the role of state and non-state stakeholders, the impact of laws and policies and, critically, the experiences of the young people themselves. We provide recommendations for immediate action, recommendations for programming to support young people on the move in the two towns that would reduce risk for young people in this area, and recommendations for longer term policy advocacy.

Having regard to the new Leipzig Charter as a common strategic framework for urban
development of the European territory,
3. The Leipzig Charter adopted in 2007 under the German Presidency of the Council of the
European Union brought long-lasting impetus to the European understanding of integrated
urban development. The Charter’s fundamental principles are as relevant today as they
were back then. However, the framework conditions have changed: the EU and its Member
States are facing additional socio-political challenges. At the same time, new political
frameworks exist, such as the Urban Agenda for the EU, from which much can be gained.
The Leipzig Charter should be reviewed and further developed in view of the German
Presidency of the Council of the European Union in the second semester of 2020. Themes,
principles and trends in integrated urban development in Europe are to be presented in
detail and reviewed in terms of their future relevance for a New Leipzig Charter – based
on a dialogue process involving the local, regional, national and European level, as well as
scientific baseline studies.
Having regard to the Urban Agenda for the EU as an innovative mechanism to enhance
multilevel governance,
The Urban Agenda for the EU has brought about vertical and horizontal cooperation among
Member States, European institutions and all relevant stakeholders, by bringing cities and
their representative organisations at European level to the same table and giving them a
voice during discussions.
The three pillars ‘Better Regulation, Better Funding and Better knowledge’ have
demonstrated to be the right approach to be further considered in the urban dimension of
EU policy making and the implementation of the Urban Agenda for the EU.
Having regard to the fact that 10 years have passed since territorial cohesion was
enshrined in the Treaty (Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union art. 174),
Cities and urban areas play important role in delivering on EU priorities. Urban
development has strong potential to contribute to the territorial cohesion of the EU by
creating positive externalities beyond urban areas. It is crucial to pursue the added-value
of the integrated territorial development and ‘urban ownership’ as promoted by the
Cohesion Policy.
Acknowledge:
1. The role and growing importance of urban areas of all sizes in the EU and of local
and regional authorities, as the level of governance closest to citizens.
2. The role of local authorities in achieving the objectives of the UN 2030 Agenda for
Sustainable Development, the UN New Urban Agenda, and the future EU Strategic
Agenda 2019-2024 and the Paris Agreement COP21.
3. The valuable messages delivered by local and regional authorities and citizens
through the European Committee of the Regions, the European Economic and Social
Committee, as well as European organisations such as EUROCITIES and the Council
of European Municipalities and Regions.
4. The work achieved by the rotating presidencies of the Council of the European
Union in the field of urban matters and the advancement of informal
4. intergovernmental cooperation to address current and future challenges faced by
urban areas, in conformity with the principles of subsidiarity and proportionality.
5. The substantial work carried out by Member States and the European Commission,
and stakeholders in order to implement the Urban Agenda for the EU, as well as
the support from the European Parliament in setting up the partnerships.
6. The helpful role of the European Investment Bank Group in financing urban
investments and providing urban investment advice.
7. The significant urban development knowledge and policy recommendations
accumulated and disseminated by programmes such as URBACT and ESPON and
other initiatives1
.
8. The relevance of the Leipzig Charter for Sustainable European Cities on the
European, national, regional and local policies.
9. The effort invested so far by all members and, in particular the coordinators of the
partnerships, the cities and the European Commission services in the Urban Agenda
partnerships in proposing concrete actions to improve regulations, funding and
knowledge.
Recognize the need:
10. To ensure a coherent strategic and operational framework for urban development
that can approach the current and future challenges and the policy directions to
address them in an effective way.
12. To assess, learn and build on the innovative governance dynamics that the Urban
Agenda for the EU has set in motion.
13. To put stronger emphasis on improving the urban dimension of the EU legislation by
strengthening the link between the Better Regulation Agenda, territorial impact
assessment tools and the work of the partnerships.
14. To better embed the cross-cutting issues especially in terms of the integrated
participatory approach to urban development as laid out in the Pact of Amsterdam.
15. To develop a functional relationship between the New Leipzig Charter and the
Urban Agenda for the EU and the Territorial Agenda 2020+.
16. To improve the way in which the Urban Agenda for the EU is delivered to cities and
citizens.
17. To involve more towns, cities and regions beyond those directly involved in the
Partnerships and to capitalise on and roll out the results, recommendations and
lessons learnt in the Partnerships.
