Abstract
This workshop debated the contribution of EU Integrated Strategies for Sustainable Urban Development (SUDs) to promoting sustainable and inclusive urbanisation in three EU Member States (Portugal, Poland and Finland) and a complementary analysis of an urban integrated strategy and subregional planning process in Central America. The presenters concluded that the EU SUDs have had an important impact on promoting a more cohesive EU by helping fund projects which support: (I) environmental sustainability processes in several domains; (ii) social cohesion via the physical and social rehabilitation of deprived urban neighbourhoods and specific buildings, and (iii) territorial governance and cooperation processes via the engagement of multi-level governance, metropolitan collaboration and shared strategy-shared leadership. Likewise, a regional integration perspective has the potential to increase the coordination of urban planning responses in Central American cities.
