At Habitat in Towns, mayors will come together to discuss, collaborate, and share ideas and practices on the three themes listed above. It is important that towns share their ideas and practices to identify good practices and share these with other towns. Through good engagement, towns can learn from each other and can create clear actions to ensure towns continue to evolve their economy in a sustainable manner that benefits their residents.
