Town Hall Consultation [17 September]

The Town Hall took place in the framework of the Local Social Covenant, a collective commitment by local and regional governments (LRGs), organized civil society, and institutional partners to re-imagine and re-negotiate the social contract from below. The Covenant builds on three core missions — people, planet, government — and translates them into care-centered services, democratic institutions, and a renewed multilateral system.

The consultations focused on New Essentials, understood as the evolving set of basic and care-centered services that enable dignity, wellbeing, and social cohesion, Public health and Food systems addressed building on their interlinkages with urban challenges such as housing, climate, inequality, and the everyday experience of communities.
