What is new in Commission’s proposals on urban
and territorial matters?
François Gallaga
DG Regional and Urban Policy
2021-2027: A modern, dynamic policy
Modern investment Simple, flexible, dynamic For all regions
▪ Focus on transition to smart, ▪ 7 funds, 1 regulation (50% shorter) ▪ Balanced and fair
low-carbon economy method
▪ key administrative simplifications
▪ Stronger conditions & link to ▪ 75% to poorest regions,
European Semester ▪ Faster implementation (return to where most needed
n+2)
▪ Comprehensive performance ▪ Tackling emerging needs
data in near real time ▪ Responsive to emerging needs and economic transition
(migration, economy) across the EU
Policy objectives
11 objectives simplified and consolidated to 5:
1. A smarter Europe (innovative & smart economic transformation) 5 POs all
2. A greener, low-carbon Europe (including energy transition, the valid for integrated
circular economy, climate adaptation and risk management) urban and territorial
3. A more connected Europe (mobility and ICT connectivity) approaches
4. A more social Europe (the European Pillar of Social Rights)
5. A Europe closer to citizens (sustainable development of urban, New cross-cutting Policy
objective that can use all
rural and coastal areas and local initiatives) investment categories and
indicators from PO1-4!Reinforcing integrated
urban and territorial development
An objective ?
A method?
Territorial tools?The Objective Foster economic, social, and environmental sustainability and resilience in all places. Urban context: ▪ to benefit from agglomeration economies and positive spill-overs towards the wider functional urban areas and rural areas close to cities ▪ to address negative effects of concentration (traffic congestion, pollution, urban sprawl, affordable housing, poverty etc). Other territories: ▪ to build on the potentials and specific assets of remote rural areas and local communities (beyond compensatory measures)
The Objective
What is Sustainable Urban Development? (new ERDF/CF Art. 9)
Integrated territorial development targeting urban areas.
• All investments under PO5 specific objective 1 (per definition for urban
areas)
• All investments under PO1-4 and territorial instruments (ITI, CLLD)
targeting urban areas IB designation is not
obligatory, but the
Minimum 6% ERDF minimum requirements for
integrated territorial
development must apply!The Method Minimum requirements to operationalise the support to integrated territorial development (New CPR Art 23 and Art 25-28 for CLLD) • Interventions linked to territorial or local strategies (definition of the targeted geographical area according to needs and potential, locally coordinated interventions through an integrated approach) • Relevant local or territorial body shall select or shall be involved in the selection of operations (multi-level, optionally community-led) and partnership with relevant actors to be ensured at local level).
The Method
Integrated
approach in
cities?

• Coordination and governance
arrangements need to ensure
consistency with sectoral policies.

▪ At least two priority, and
the local strategy must be
integrated also in this case
▪ The integrated approach

need to be described in the
Territorial Strategy programmeSummary of main changes 2014-2020 2021-2027 • Focus on 11 thematic objectives, integrated • 5 policy objective breaking policy silos, integrated territorial approach treated horizontally (specific territorial approach got its own cross-cutting policy chapter in programming documents) objective - Europe closer to citizens (PO5) • ITI and multi-thematic priority axis to break • ITI tool remained to draw funding directly from thematic silos other policy objectives • Different set of rules for ITI under sustainable • Coherent minimum requirements for all territorial urban development (ERDF Art. 7) and ITIs for other tools defined in the CPR (territorial strategies and territorial strategies duties of local/territorial bodies) • Designation of Intermediate bodies is obligatory for • No intermediate body needed for the minimum urban development scope of responsibilities • No specific monitoring arrangements, based on • Indicators and categories for PO5 to improve thematic operations, outputs and results flexibility and EU level monitoring
