DG REGIO recommendations for URBACT III
1. Reinforce linkage with Europe 2020and promote the use of new tools
2. Improve quality of the thematic networks
3. Re-introduce SUPPORT FOR CITIES scheme
4. Increase the efficiency of capitalisation through national urban networks
5. Ensure balanced participation of cities
6. Improve programme management and reduce administrative burden
1. Reinforce linkage with Europe 2020 and promote the use of new tools
Concentrate on the thematic objectives set by the Common provisions with the integrated and participatory approach as a cross-cutting issue
Selection of networks should be better linked to the Europe 2020 objectives
Support cities to implement urban development through ITI and to carry out CLLD
Address the urban-rural linkages
2. Improve quality of the thematic networks
More targeted calls, better defined selection criteria
Effective means to ensure and monitor the quality of the working process and the outputs
Outputs: better target the needs of cities and be user-oriented by providing practical guidance for cities.
Less thematic meetings with increased content: Learning should be the key objective
3. Re-introduce SUPPORT FOR CITIES scheme
Promote organisational learning: Help cities to convert the knowledge newly acquired from networking into concrete projects and strategies
Provide tailor-made on-field expertise Expected results:
projects and strategies ready to be financed from mainstream programmes
Improved governance
4. Increase efficiency of capitalisation through national urban networks
Support the establishment of national urban networks with the participation of cities, regional and national authorities, academic institutions
Networks should provide platform for capitalisation and dissemination of the results of thematic networks on national level
Reinforce link between URBACT and Article 7 ERDF promoting sustainable urban development
5. Ensure balanced participation of cities
Better reflect the specific needs of the less developed regions and the EU13 (EU12+Croatia) cities
Reflect the development of macro-regional and sea-basin strategies
Reach out smaller cities with great need for capacity building
6. Improve programme management and reduce administrative burden
Make the administrative burden proportional to the relatively small amount of support
Set up an advisory board to assist the Managing Authority on the implementation of the programme
Concentrate and limit management activities to the efficient implementation of the programme..

- the mission is to increase the local actors' capacity to develop and manage a participative approach when drawing up plans of action all through the network’s life span.
- the seminars will be an opportunity to provide methods and tools and will enable the LSGs’ actors to exchange and learn from their peers' experience.
