Title	Improving Urban Policies through Best Practices Transfer

Day / Time	Tuesday, June 20th / 13:30 - 15:30

Room	Oceanview 5/6

Event Description	The transfer of Best Practices, which have obtained remarkable results in the sustainable development of many urban areas, with the consequent improvement in the life conditions of their citizens, constitutes a mechanism of easy application for the improvement of urban policies in other cities. Learning from the results of successful practices allows other cities to avoid mistakes and to assure favourable effects in the short term. This event is an interactive discussion through the exposition of three Spanish Good Practices developed in the city of Zaragoza (Ecocity of Valdespartera), in La Habana, Cuba and within the Spanish territory (Green Ways Program), analyzing their capacity to be transferred to other cities or countries. The three practices have been selected as "good" or "best" practices by United Nations in their Awards promoted from 1996 to 2004.
