Urban 2.0 Profiles and Papers

Why Urban 2.0 Profiles and Papers are being created

The purpose of Urban 2.0 Profiles and Papers is to provide information about a range of activities and cities, which is hoped will be of interest to anyone who wants to learn about the challenges we face around the world, and how cities and expert teams are overcoming them. 

Each Profile and Paper uses the Urban 2.0 system to unpack different aspects, including challenges some cities need to overcome and how some are thriving.


A range of Profiles and Papers are currently under development. Others will be added over time.


These papers are independently produced. There is no affiliation to any city or municipal teams, or any other organisations. 

The linked Suredis Cities website contains sections that provide general overviews of cities and towns in Africa, the Americas, Asia, Europe and Oceania.
