Explore our Library of Wise Practices

Wise practices are: locally-appropriate actions, tools, principles or decisions that contribute significantly to the development of sustainable and equitable social conditions. They evolve and are refined as individual and community experience and knowledge expand.​
(Reference: Wesley-Esquimax and Calliou 2010: 19)

With this library we want to share knowledge, inspire innovation, improve networking and collaboration, and challenge ourselves to make cities equitable, inclusive, sustainable and thriving for all.
