The success of the urban innovative actions with very concrete projects in our cities, the experience and expertise acquired by our region have encouraged us to engage in this new initiative. We are a region strongly involved in European cooperation to find new answers jointly to challenges that have never been so important. President of the Region Hauts-de-France Xavier Bertrand said: “ We thank the European Commission for its support in the implementation of the European Urban Initiative. I am glad that a first innovative actions’ call of the EUI will be launched very soon in support of the New European Bauhaus that very much contributes to cities’ innovation and creativity to flourish”. I congratulate the Region Hauts-de-France for the signature of the Contribution Agreement to implement the European Urban Initiative and I am convinced that it will make the initiative a success. Approaches involving citizens in urban development play an important role in tackling these challenges. The first innovative actions’ call for proposals of EUR 50 million will be published in coming weeks in support of the New European Bauhaus (more details on the call content available at New European Bauhaus - EUI).Ĭommissioner for Cohesion Policy and Reforms Elisa Ferreira said: “ Cities are faced with several acute challenges concerning notably their sustainability, the fight against poverty, the integration of migrants, the necessary resilience to health crisis, the adaptation to demographic change and the good management of the digital revolution. With a budget of around EUR 450 million for the period 2021-2027, the European Urban Initiative aims to foster innovative solutions to challenges faced by cities and to help cities tackle these challenges by building administrative capacities and increasing knowledge sharing between cities. Following the signature of a contribution agreement with the European Commission, the region Hauts-de-France is in charge of the implementation of the European Urban Initiative from 29 August 2022.
