This workshop will focus on how EU regional programmes can promote more balanced territorial development in rural or rural-urban contexts. The special
challenge of border cities and border rural hinterlands will be addressed under this theme. Most of the EGTCs have developed a development strategy for
their territory. Use of regional and cross-border programmes may be used to develop twin cities or urban-rural areas.
DG Regio and the Mission opérationnelle transfrontalière will also present tools available for border cities: the URBACT project "Expertising governance in
transfrontier conurbations" and tools for the governance of border cities and agglomerations.

Target audience:
- EU, national, regional and local policy/decision makers
- Authorities managing and evaluating cohesion policy programmes and projects
- Other stakeholders: European and national associations
- Academic
