A new series of clips show how the European Union’s Rurban initiative fosters formal and informal partnerships around a whole string of issues such as research and innovation, energy, water supply, food production, transport, tourism and leisure, and many more.
Through its cohesion policy, the EU invests more than one-third of its budget in promoting sustainable and inclusive development across Europe. The aim is for all regions, whether urban or rural, to have equal access to the benefits of growth.
Many good examples of rural-urban cooperation already exist around Europe. The clips show three case studies: sparsely populated Central Finland, the Metropolitan Region of Nuremberg, in Germany, and the province of Forlì-Cesena, in central Italy.
