The second SUMPs-Up General Assembly took place in Budapest from 22-23 May.
All partners and city partners were present at the meeting, which provided an opportunity for those present to share their knowledge and experiences.On topics where the SUMPs-Up project team can provide support, group discussions took place to find solutions to challenges that participants had faced.As part of the project, each of the seven partner cities will implement their own SUMP innovation(s).To help move these forward, a World Café was organised that enabled cities to discuss their respective plans.
