The City of Malaga to host the Uraía Secretariat


T

he City of Malaga, in Spain has been selected to host the Uraía Secretariat for the 2019-2020 biennium. 


Malaga counts with an extensive experience in urban innovation that will contribute to the consolidation of the platform and the incorporation of new technical know-how. 
 
The new Uraía Secretariat will be in charge of managing the network communication, supporting the organization and elaborating the guidelines of the annual event "Citizenship Series", producing content related to SMART technologies, local development and innovation in urban management and finance. FMDV and UN-Habitat will keep giving strategic direction to the Platform. 
We want to thank the cities of Ate (Peru) and Mashad (Iran) for their bids to host the Secretariat.

We warmly welcome the City of Malaga and we look forward to expand the Uraía Platform together with them for the next two years.
