Daring Cities is a URBACT IV Innovation Transfer Network, active from September 2024 to August 2026 and led by Ravenna. It transfers the collaborative urban regeneration model of Ravenna’s DARE project, based on citizen involvement, storytelling about place and the use of data, to other European cities. The transfer partners are Altea, Olomouc, Dunaújváros, Piraeus, Den Helder and Kragujevac.
Altea hosted the network’s fourth transnational meeting in October 2025 and prepared its URBACT Investment Plan. Crea360 provided technical assistance to the Town Council in phase II of the project, including coordination, monitoring and facilitation of local participation activities such as critical walks through urban space and actions with young people.
