".
I voted for the report on the European Urban Agenda and its Future in Cohesion Policy. Urban areas generate around 80% of GDP, consume up to 70% of the energy in the EU and are the major centres of innovation, knowledge and culture. Some EUR 21.1 billion has been allocated to urban development between 2007 and 2013, representing 6.1% of the EU’s cohesion policy budget. In fact, EUR 3.4 billion is targeted at the rehabilitation of industrial sites and contaminated land, EUR 9.8 billion at urban and rural regeneration projects, EUR 7 billion at green urban transport and EUR 917 million at housing.
Smart cities require a smart communications, transport and energy infrastructure. I support the development of integrated urban mobility plans and I encourage local authorities to modernise urban public transport to make it more environmentally friendly and efficient. The implementation of intelligent transport systems (ITS) in urban areas will increase energy efficiency and transport safety.
Since 99% of the housing stock in Europe is made up of old buildings, I call on the Commission and Member States to increase the rate of the ERDF allocation which each Member State can use to boost energy efficiency in housing from 4% to 15% in the future Multiannual Financial Framework."@en1
