🏙 Today is #WorldCitiesDay. Did you know that the European Space Agency - ESA already works closely with a wide range of stakeholders across multiple sectors to deliver innovative solutions to the challenges facing our cities today? In September 2023 we officially launched our Task Force for Smart and Green Cities. Its main focus is to leverage the use of space applications to advance services which address the smart cities ecosystem and support the growth of a sustainable green economy. We would like to speak to city authorities across Europe and beyond to help identify and resolve their collective and individual challenges.
