The objective of this study is to provide the URBACT Secretariat, the ACSÉ, the Member States and the European Commission with new ideas on the implementation of new concepts and tools for sustainable development in the new programming period 2014-2020. The intent is twofold:

  • to develop a shared understanding of the three concepts/tools (integrated strategy, participatory approach, rural-urban partnership) for sustainable and integrated urban development
  • to issue policy recommendations to foster a sustainable urban development

The study consists of both desk research on  documents provided by the DG for Regional and Urban Policy and by the Member States, and the contributions of experts and European stakeholders gathered through three workshops organized in collaboration with the URBACT Secretariat and DG Regio.
