(16 March 2015) – Today the European Commission is launching URBACT III, an exchange and learning programme which promotes sustainable urban development by enabling European cities to work together in thematic networks to share and capitalise on experience.
The programme’s scope has been expanded and it was financially strengthened in the new programming period. URBACT III covers the 28 EU Members States, as well as Norway and Switzerland.
The programme is worth more than 96.3 million euro, with a contribution of 74.3 million euro from the European Regional Development Fund.
