Introduction on 2024 SEOUL POLICY SHARING FORUM & DEEP-DIVE LEARNING Programs

# data[].attributes.body
The COVID-19 pandemic has intensified inequality and polarization in urban areas, prompting cities worldwide to prioritize sustainability and future competitiveness. Addressing these challenges and the climate crisis requires a comprehensive, cross-sectoral approach due to their complexity and uncertainty.

An integrated policy approach has become essential for capacity building and policy sharing, as current sectoral methods are insufficient for practical urban solutions. Issues like polarization and inequality demand this holistic strategy.

In response, SHRDC, as the headquarters of the Metropolis International Training Institute, has expanded its "Going Together with The Socially Neglected" international training program for 2024.

This core policy of Seoul effectively tackles global urban issues and was well-received during its pilot phase of the Caring Cities online training program, co-organized with UCLG.

Additionally, SHRDC has provided online training based on Seoul's "Attractive City" policy to support cities in their post-pandemic recovery and competitiveness.

With your support, SHRDC's training programs have grown significantly over the past decade. As we prepare for the future, we aim to develop new strategies and approaches.

In the last week of October 2024, we will expand the SHRDC Forum into the Seoul Policy Sharing Global Forum, celebrating the 10th anniversary of the Metropolis International Training Institute.

This forum and on-site training programs will share the decade achievement of MITI enhancing both Seoul's urban diplomacy and Metropolis's global presence.

We look forward to your active support and participation in this event and the on-site training.
