| Cities to make Full Partner In Cohesion Policy A set of new ideas on more cooperation to boost growth and create quality jobs in the towns and cities through regional policy was presented by Regional policy Commissioner Danuta Hübner in Bristol (UK) during an informal ministerial meeting. Commissioner Hübner presented the paper “Cohesion Policy and cities: the urban contribution to growth and jobs in the regions” which aims to deliver growth, jobs, social inclusion and better environment through a comprehensive urban development policy. The proposals are part of the Commission’s reform of cohesion policy for 2007-2013 and correspond to the EU Presidency drive to build ‘sustainable communities’. A broad consultation on the Commission’s paper has been launched and will close on 17 February 2006. write your comments about the article :: © 2005 Construction News :: home page |
