Coventry Journal 3: Looking towards the future

UIA Expert Peter Wolkowinski shares that “MiFriendly Cities has been running for 18 months and to celebrate this interim juncture partners have been looking seriously towards the future and consideration of the legacy of the programme and of each of the 31 actions identified in the programme. Through this evaluation, partners are exploring how can each successful action be taken forward and supported by the local authorities or by another partner in a permanent and sustainable way.”
