"We believe that the main objective of the European Urban Agenda is to serve the development and qualitative updating of the infrastructure and services in European cities. Therefore, a proper evaluation of the mainstreaming process, including a list of strengths and weaknesses, must be carried out before further steps are taken. This should lead to a list of recommendations or standards for more formalised local involvement in future policy design and implementation.
Therefore, the evolution of the Urban Agenda must not be a one-way process, but have an organic dimension with a bottom-up approach. For this reason, it is crucial that cities be able to have their say, and that they receive due attention at EU level. We also believe that cities should be offered sufficient flexibility so as to be able to use funds for their own priorities. Regional, national and EU funding opportunities should be coordinated to cover the whole range of specific needs. Finally, we believe that future cohesion policy should become a fully-valued and effective policy for EU cities."@en1
