More and more people are living, working and spending their free time in cities. Cities offer fertile ground to start new business, provide platforms for cultural dialogue and diversity, and are incubators for innovation. With the current (European) trend towards urbanisation, the importance of cities and urban areas will continue to grow. This growth is accompanied by complex challenges, including an ever greater risk of segregation, increased criminality and environmental problems.
On 30. May 2016 an informal meeting of EU Ministers with responsibility for urban affairs took place in Amsterdam, at the initiative of the Dutch Presidency. During this meeting an "Urban Agenda for the EU", also called "Pact of Amsterdam", has been established. EU Member States, cities, European institutions and other stakeholders will be working together for a sustainable, socially inclusive, innovative and economically powerful Europe.
