During the round table, several questions will be addressed:
- How can cities make better use of urban knowledge the private sector has developed over the years to create more sustainable and livable cities?
- What are barriers and boosts, when it comes to urban knowledge sharing between the public and private sector?
- And how to increase the mutual responsibility for urban challenges and optimize the knowledge sharing process between a civil servant and an entrepreneur?
Various actors are invited to find answers to the questions and to discuss their own experiences on the basis of three cases. The round table kicks off with an introduction by the representatives of both Global Compact Network Netherlands and Closer Cities. Then Arcadis, the Municipality of Leeuwarden, and Witteveen+Bos will present their cases - moderated by Eva Rood (of Erasmus School of Management). Afterwards, the actors will be divided over breakout rooms in which case submitters and participating moderators will raise questions to kick start fruitful conversations and find solutions together.
