3rd Urban Economy Forum 2021:The Brampton Resolution

The 3rd Urban Economy Forum is one of the world’s most premier urban gatherings on sustainable urban economies and urban management. The collaborative approach for collective action taken by the organisation is integral to strengthen urban areas and working toward a more sustainable urban environment. Participation is a must for urban areas and empowering local communities can lead to greater and more equitable economic and social outcomes. Appropriate education is lacking in many urban areas. Governments must have processes in place that empower and create opportunities for communities where their voices are heard and contribute to decision making. Engaging communities should not be just another tokenism step in the process. The Forum also echoed the view that bringing people and opportunities closer together allows neighborhoods to flourish.
