URBAN

The EU has launched the URBAN Project. The objective of this initiative is to promote the sustainable development of cities and neighborhoods in crisis in the European Union.[8]​ During the Urban Plan I (1994-1999), programs were financed in 118 urban areas. The community contribution was close to 900 million euros, an investment that allowed an improvement in the quality of life of more than three million people across the continent.

Currently, the second cycle of the Program, URBAN II, is being developed, which will cover the period 2000.

The Project is financed by the European Regional Development Fund. Through this financing, the renovation of buildings and public spaces, local initiatives in favor of employment, improvement of education systems, development of more ecological public transport systems, the use of renewable energies and the exploitation of the potential offered by information society technologies are achieved.

URBAN II covers 70 disadvantaged areas throughout the EU, with total funding of €728.3 million. In each zone, the population must be at least 20,000 people, and may be reduced in certain cases to 10,000 people.
