The seventh progress report on economic, social and territorial cohesion highlights the urban and regional dimension of the Europe 2020 strategy. This report was adopted shortly after the publication of legislative proposals for the cohesion policy period 2014 to 2020. These proposals underline the critical contribution cohesion policy will make to smart, sustainable and inclusive growth and the Europe 2020 headline targets.
This report shows that cities and regions are faced with different combinations of development problems and growth potential. This is one of the main reasons cohesion policy uses an integrated approach that can be adjusted to local needs and opportunities.
