fit for the future? How Europe's local and regional governments are preparing Between 22 and 24 April 2009, CEMR will hold its general assembly in Malmö. It will be the perfect time and venue to reflect on the European issues that directly affect our towns and regions: the development of our public services, climate change and energy, economic growth and the environment, the state of local democracy, town twinning… For three days, elected local and regional leaders, experts, representatives of EU institutions and other stakeholders will debate – and sometimes argue over – this fundamental question: are our towns and regions fit for the future? Are we ready for the challenges of today and tomorrow?
Michael Häupl, CEMR President . The future of all cities and regions is based on having a good dialogue with citizens and business-owners. If we have that we can jointly take care of our major commitments within climate and sustainability, immigration and migration, public services and age composition in the population, etc. These are issues that are of vital importance if our cities and municipalities are to provide good service and also continue to be attractive in the future. These are issues that will be discussed during the 24th CEMR General Assembly in Malmö. That is why it is my great pleasure to welcome you to the meeting and to our work in creating our joint future!
