Abstract

Inter-organizational learning (IOL) in urban policy is a process in which various actors – such as local, regional, and national authorities, EU institutions, universities, the private sector, and non-governmental organizations – collaborate and exchange knowledge and experiences to jointly address complex urban challenges. The goal is to transcend traditional, hierarchical governance structures and adopt a more integrated, partnership-based approach, based on the principle of multilevel governance and co-governance. The European Union plays a key role in this process, providing an appropriate political, financial and organizational framework. The aim of this article, based on selected case studies, is to identify the tangible benefits and challenges of knowledge exchange within EU urban policy.
