NEXT STEPS TOWARDS AN EU URBAN AGENDA

On 2 June 2015 the European Commission unveiled the results of the public consultation on the EU Urban Agenda during the 2nd European CITIES Forum, in Brussels. The consultation shows that Europe can help cities address common challenges and, in turn, contribute to the Commission’s priorities such as a resilientEnergy Union with a forward-looking climate change policy. The consultation shows a clear demand by stakeholders for more coordination between all of the EU policies with an urban dimension.

The Council of Danube Cities and Regions, in cooperation with PAC10 and the Urban Platform danube Region delivered a coherent position, that is mentioned in the EC’s staff document.
