the advances and challenges of European Urban Charter II:
Manifesto for a new urbanity. The new text, which was approved
by the Committee on Sustainable Development, sets out a body of

the current challenges facing urban society. It offers citizens
a new vision of towns and cities as places which celebrate
diversity, solidarity, sustainability and innovation.
