PÉCS-Profile and its  distinctiveness :

• relatively small-scale university city (150 thousand inhabitants);
•  with weakening  economic  strength;
• aiming at focussing on culture-led  development;
• a former ECOC-city  (2010),  labelling itself:” The city of culture”,     making effort to achieve the title „Green city” as well.

Community involvement in planning for  the city’s long –term development ( 2014-2030) and complying with sustainability criteria:

• The Pécs Learning City-Learning Region initiative;
• Learning communities, community –based development networks, and policy agendas;
• City development games for the youth;
• Means of mobilizing local resources;
• Participating stakeholders: The university’s role.
