City networks provide opportunities for exchanging experiences related to monument protection and sustainable urban development. They can broaden knowledge by finding new solutions and building professional contacts. Successful networks require focusing on concrete topics, defining objectives and results, and organizing small meetings and visits for experience sharing. Funding options include Interreg IVC, Urbact II, and programs supporting citizen participation, with varying requirements and funding durations. Next steps involve identifying common interests, objectives, and funding programs to prepare applications for experience exchange networking.
