DESCRIPTION
Three fields of cooperation are planned:

a) Provide help in the definition, the promotion and the implementation of a long-lasting strategy of urban development. This would cover support for the diagnosis and the preparation of a process of integrated city planning.

b) Support for the implementation of specific urban policies, in particular for:
  • economic development especially in view of the tourism potential and the heritage resources of cities;
  • environmental protection and a better management of natural resources;
  • conception and implementation of a transport / mobility policy;
  • the protection and integration of the socially excluded.
c) Strengthening local governance, in particular:
  • the implementation of an effective and modern institutional, legislative and local administrative framework;
  • management and control of public finances;
  • local authority staff training.
A call for proposals was launched in 2006, which lead to the selection of nine projects:
