National Urban Policies in the European Union

Cities develop policy measures aimed at improving their position in Europe. At the same time national governments also pursue policies that affect the function of other cities. EURICUR has investigated the state-of-the-art concerning national urban policy in the European Union. Experts from each member state have contributed to the comprehensive international comparative research. The resulting investigation is a structured overview of the experiences of each member state as well as an analysis of the major trends in contemporary national urban policy.
