In order to turn into concrete action the promise of supporting the achievement of sustainable and equitable development and of prioritising poverty reduction, the Spanish Cooperation, in collaboration with the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP), created the Sustainable Development Goals Fund (SDG-F), the first specific global fund for the achievement of the SDGs. This report is another step towards keeping our promise. Through the analysis of concrete examples, this report examines what is needed to tackle inequalities between groups of a population. It shows lessons from countries that have made progress in this field, which all underscore the importance of citizen participation and social mobilization.

Some of the questions the URBACT workstream “New Urban Economies” is exploring are: what is the scope of action for cities to steer their economy? Should cities “sit and wait” for changes to come and affect them, or is there room for pro-active urban policy to grasp emerging opportunities? If so, what is in their scope for action? How to act in a sustainable/integrated way?
