The report outlines key knowledge on drivers of urban impact, including the role of urban form, green and blue spaces, and service provision in shaping feedback loops with environmental and socioeconomic consequences. It then proposes actionable pathways covering green, resilient, inclusive, and competitive city development and outlines implications for multilevel involvement.","Pub lic Disclosure Authorized Pub lic Disclosure Authorized Pub lic Disclosure Authorized Pub lic Disclosure Authorized  \nRESHAPING CITIES  \nReadying Cities in the Western Balkans for a changing climate  \nii  \nRESHAPING CITIES  \nReadying Cities in the Western Balkans for a changing climate  \n© 2024 International Bank for Reconstruction and Development / The World Bank  \n1818 H Street NW Washington DC 20433 Telephone: 202-473-1000  \n[Internet: ](Internet: www.worldbank.org)[www.worldbank.org](Internet: www.worldbank.org)  \nThis work is a product of the staff of The World Bank with external contributions.
