lpv:translated text	"Cities stimulate economic growth and entrepreneurship, and contribute to the creation of new sustainable jobs. By implementing the Urban Agenda, we must focus more on serving the development and qualitative upgrading of the infrastructure and services in European cities. In order to implement the concept of smarter urban development, conditions must be created for cities to develop their infrastructure properly and effectively by means of advanced technologies, in particular information and communications technology (ICT). The application of intelligent systems would help address challenges related to transport congestion, energy efficiency and safety in the public sector. Given the specific needs of individual regions, it is necessary to promote investment in technological progress. We must promote social innovation in urban areas, particularly in disadvantaged neighbourhoods, by exploiting the opportunities offered by cohesion policy. It is crucial to regenerate urban areas by reclaiming industrial sites and contaminated land, while promoting inclusive development of urban and rural areas. To achieve this objective it is necessary to implement multi-level governance, regional planning and the partnership principle. It should be noted that based on the best practice of Member States regarding strategic planning, the Commission should draw up specific EU guidelines for integrated urban development planning practice and make integrated urban planning legally binding. Moreover, local government initiatives must actively pursue partnership between the public and private sectors and implement innovative strategies for the development of urban infrastructure."@en1
