"I voted in favour of Mr Vlasák’s report on the urban dimension of cohesion policy in the new programming period. I live in Poznań, the regional capital of Wielkopolska. I see the positive effects of the city’s development on that of the entire region on an almost daily basis. I would even stick my neck out and say that the long-awaited synergy between urban and regional development has come about.
Urban development has nothing to do with local centralism. Those who are against the development of big cities are often unaware of the importance of those cities to the regions in which they are situated. Due to their very nature, some functions of big city centres cannot be transferred to rural areas. Persons managing cities have a particular responsibility. The tasks they face, as regards planning; spatial management; social dialogue; culture and education; and the creation of sustainable knowledge-based jobs, are all highly complex. Some of these tasks involve close collaboration with local governments at other levels.
It is also important that the urban dimension of cohesion policy does not compete with, but complements rural development. Both rural and urban areas can and should undergo development, and both processes are supported by the European Union."@en1
