European cities of the future should be greener, smarter and more inclusive, according to young Poles who shared their vision during the EU Youth Policy Dialogue in Warsaw.<\/p>\n

What is the first thing that comes to mind when you hear the word \u201ccity\u201d? For most of us, it is crowds, busy roads and noise. But a group of young Poles who spoke with visiting EU officials in Warsaw offered a more upbeat and constructive vision.<\/p>\n

On 10 March 2025, they gathered at the prestigious Jasna Centre in the heart of Warsaw, home to the European Commission\u2019s Representation in Poland. They were invited to share their vision for the European cities of tomorrow with the European Commissioner for Startups, Research and Innovation, Ekaterina Zaharieva.<\/p>\n

At the start of the event, they were asked the same question: what does \u201ccity\u201d mean for you? They replied \u201cpossibility\u201d, \u201ccommunity\u201d, \u201cconnection\u201d, \u201chigh-quality education\u201d, \u201copportunities and business\u201d, \u201csociety\u201d and \u201cculture\u201d.<\/p>\n

These small sparks of inspiration were enough to ignite a conversation about what European cities should be like and to foster the changes to make them so.<\/p>\n

Public transport, accessibility, jobs<\/h2>\n
