harmonisation of sector policies at EU, member state, regional and city
levels )
•
Cohesion Policy plays a key role in fostering territorial cohesion
II. Challenges of territorial development
1. Increased impact of globalization, economic crisis on local-regional systems
2. Challenges of EU integration and growing interdependeces of regions
3. Different areas face special demographic and social challenges

actions
