The goal
The UrbanCare Dialogues set collaboration for public space proposals to obtain financial approval and define work plans to continue working together on evidence-based urban projects.
The Dialogues create an environment for Gov and urban advisors to align goals, strengthen operations, focus resources, and establish agreement around intended results and outcomes.
What are the main results?
How it works!
1. A Municipality signs up to the Dialogues and upload an urban project idea on health inequity, mobility, or vulnerability to natural disasters.
2. Municipality representatives travel to Berlin and present their urban problems to advisors.
3. The advisors take notes and give input to all participants.
4. Municipalities form teams, and the advisors mentor a workshop to outline three documents:
The Project Profile; the Operations Development Proposal; and the Financial Proposal Draft.

About the sessions.
Morning sessions
Local Gov representatives present their urban problems and current situation. The introduction describes the sector and municipal secretary, data and stats pressing urban issues, ongoing or possible solutions, and details about management, execution, or financial obstacles in developing their projects. Q&A follows, where advisors take note of the issues for discussion in the afternoon sessions.
Afternoon sessions
Advisors take the floor to address the problems identified in the morning setting out evidence-based guidelines, instruments, and strategies. After each talk, a Q&A allow Gov representatives to resurface their local issues in search of solutions.
Three workshops allow Gov representatives and advisors to define project ideas into three documents required by most development banks and agencies: Project Profile, Operations Development Draft, and the Financial Proposal.
