(21 March 2019) – The European Commission proposes a new instrument providing support for cities that builds on all thematic priorities of the Urban Agenda for the EU and covers all urban areas: the European Urban Initiative (EUI).
This initiative aims to strengthen integrated and participatory approaches to sustainable urban development and provide a stronger link to relevant EU policies, and in particular, cohesion policy investments.
It will do so by facilitating and supporting cooperation and capacity building of urban actors, innovative actions, knowledge, policy development and communication in the area of sustainable urban development.
This memo describes (1) a possible intervention logic and (2) a possible governance structure for the implementation of this initiative.
