The Urban Agenda Partnership have been working on a classification on "Urban Resource Centres" that now is ready to be shared with the rest of the world. At the same time, we have identified several other intiatives work on the same topics. As the work with Urban Resource Centres now has been taken forward in a newly established URBACT Action planning Network "UrbRec", we wish to discuss with other stakeholders how we best organize our future collaboration.

Objective of the seminar is:

• Discuss shared barriers and success factors

• Initiate knowledge exchange and investigate potential synergies
