Cities are key to the sustainable development of the European Union ● Europe is one of the most urbanised continents in the world. Today, more than two thirds of the European population lives in urban areas and this share continues to grow. The development of our cities will determine the future economic, social and territorial development of the European Union. ● Cities play a crucial role as engines of the economy, as places of connectivity, creativity and innovation, and as centres of services for their surrounding areas. Due to their density, cities offer a huge potential for energy savings and a move towards a carbon-neutral economy. Cities are, however, also places where problems such as unemployment, segregation and poverty are concentrated. Cities are, therefore, essential for the successful implementation of Europe 2020. ● The administrative boundaries of cities no longer reflect the physical, social, economic, cultural or environmental reality of urban development and new forms of flexible governance are needed. ● In terms of aims, objectives and values, there is a shared vision of the European city of tomorrow as: ● a place of advanced social progress with a high degree of social cohesion, socially-balanced housing as well as social, health and 'education for all' services; ● a platform for democracy, cultural dialogue and diversity; ● a place of green, ecological or environmental regeneration; ● a place of attraction and an engine of economic growth. ● Cities play a key role in Europe’s territorial development. There is a consensus on the key principles of future European urban and territorial development which should: ● be based on balanced economic growth and territorial organisation of activities, with a polycentric urban structure; ● build on strong metropolitan regions and other urban areas that can provide good accessibility to services of general economic interest; ● be characterised by a compact settlement structure with limited urban sprawl; ● enjoy a high level of environmental protection and quality in and around cities.

Planning and managing the city of the future

Jan Bredenoord
Dutch planning legislation provides for the (optional) preparation of long-term master plans by municipalities. For either the whole of the municipal territory or a part thereof (e.g., the city or any built-up area). In the Netherlands, such plans are called “structure plans” because they are concerned with the underlying structure of the city or region rather than details, but in this summary the term “master plan” is used. In practice, few municipalities make use of this possibility, although there is a trend towards increased use of more informal instruments such as concept plans, sketch plans or statements of planning policies. In some cases, urban planning makes use of sector plans (e.g., housing, traffic planning). The manner in which principal spatial policies are determined varies considerably, as does the authority attached to them by municipalities.

World Cities Report 2016: Urbanization and Development - Emerging Futures

Bruce Stiftel
The analysis of urban development of the past twenty years presented in this maiden edition of the World Cities Report shows, with compelling evidence, that there are new forms of collaboration and cooperation, planning, governance, finance and learning that can sustain positive change. The Report unequivocally demonstrates that the current urbanization model is unsustainable in many respects. It conveys a clear message that the pattern of urbanization needs to change in order to better respond to the challenges of our time, to address issues such as inequality, climate change, informality, insecurity, and the unsustainable forms of urban expansion.
