… EU cohesion policy

Let’s find big and good projects for the European urban network. Thematic and geographical

concentration, using convergence criteria, improving regional competitiveness, strong

territorial cooperation and governance as public performance, could be the five main tools for

development of European cities.(CEC, Cohesion policy in Support of Growth and

Jobs 2007-2013.)

Decisions

The masterplan …

• is area development, not real estate development

• is a tool for growth, not a result of growth

• provides opportunities on many levels, real estate being only one

• needs to be part of a concerted economic and political strategy (city, region, nation)

• needs a sound process

• needs a shared vision
