Expert: Accelerating urban transition makes exchange of local initiatives in urban development particularly important
Baku, May 21, AZERTAC
The accelerating urban transition makes the exchange of global experience and local initiatives in urban development especially important. Therefore, WUF13 serves as a significant international platform for sharing experience and discussing local initiatives in the field of urban development, Federico Roman Ramos, an urbanist and territorial analysis expert, said in an interview with AZERTAC.
According to him, it is essential to have a broader global perspective in order to properly understand what is happening within local urban development initiatives. He noted that this issue is becoming increasingly relevant in the context of rapid urban transformation in many regions of the world.
The expert emphasized that, under current conditions, it is crucial to take into account global experience and approaches, as the urban transition in many countries is taking place at a fast pace and requires comprehensive analysis and coordination.
