"Europe’s cities are its centres of economic activity, innovation and employment, but they face a number of challenges. The trend towards suburbanisation, the concentration of deprivation and unemployment in urban neighbourhoods, increased congestion and other problems of similar complexity require solutions in the fields of transport and housing, as well as in training and employment schemes which must be tailored to local needs. European regional and cohesion policies address these challenges. The main purpose of the enhanced Urban Agenda is to serve the development and qualitative updating of the infrastructure and services in European cities. On one hand, the future measures must be closely connected to overall EU priorities to justify the contribution of the EU budget. The Europe 2020 strategy, however, mainly concerns future trends. Overcoming the current disparities among European cities is of equal importance and should be reflected in the priorities of future cohesion policy. Bearing in mind the experience of the Lisbon Strategy, the evolution of the Urban Agenda must not be a one-way process, but have an organic dimension with a bottom-up approach. So that European cities will always continue to develop, I express my vote in favour of the proposal."@en1
