"This report focuses on the European Urban Agenda and its Future in Cohesion Policy. It places great emphasis upon cities, but it forgets a fundamental component of these cities: the people. The report is clearly contradictory. It advocates strengthening the European Urban Agenda, developing basic physical infrastructure and its contribution to the economic fabric, and energy and environmental sustainability through investment based on technological progress, but it puts people second. However, the fact is that cities and their entire infrastructure are built by people. These people should therefore be at the heart of any urban policy. However, they are the ones largely being forgotten by EU policies.
From our point of view, an urban agenda should prioritise better distribution of the population in the territory of certain countries, particularly in Portugal, relieving the cities by valuing rural areas and properly remunerated farming; spreading productive activity across the country; valuing quality public services in rural and urban areas; combating unemployment; defending jobs with rights; valuing salaries and pensions; and combating poverty. Nothing of this sort emerges from this report."@en1
