The central theme
Across the world, the social and solidarity economy (SSE) generates important economic impact, and, more importantly, social innovations that help address the challenges faced by city administrationsand their communities. Whether it is meeting essential needs such as housing and food security, ensuring an adequate quality of life for residents through local services, cultural activities, and other recreational services, or contributing to social cohesion, SSE initiatives create jobs and support the more intelligent and sustainable development of cities.
