The Joint Declaration on the EU-China Partnership on Urbanisation signed by the leaders of the European Union and the People’s Republic of China in 2012 opened a new chapter of EU-China urbanisation cooperation.  The past five years have witnessed wider, deeper and more concrete cooperation between the two sides.  In addition, 2022 will witness another major event: The Winter Olympic Games in Beijing and Zhangjiakou.
