  • Luxembourgish Small and Medium-Sized Town in Europe : Challenges and Opportunities
    West Luxembourgish Small and Medium-Sized Towns Europe in Europe: Challenges and Opportunities Small and Medium-Sized Towns: Facts and Figures Europe is a highly “urbanised” continent. Cities form the backbone of the European territory and are key actors in implementing EU and national policies. Alongside the larger cities, small and medium-sized towns play an important role in regional development across Europe. They contribute to greater social cohesion and concurrently represent the economic pillars and drivers in the EU. Towns and cities in the EU are facing different challenges. Whilst some are seeing their population decline, others have a rather fast growing population, which intensifies problems such as increasing unemployment or environmen- tal pollution. The same applies to economic development: some towns show strong economic growth whilst others have to deal with a shrinking economy. Nevertheless, small and medium-sized towns (SMSTs) could offer opportunities to increase the resilience of the re- gions they are situated in by promoting their potential in fields such as employment creation or social cohesion. Map 1: Prevailing type of settlements in terms of population SMSTs features • Population threshold be- tween 5.000 and 50.000 inhabitants • Population density be- tween 300 and 1.500 in- habitants/km² • 24,2% lives in Small and Medium-Sized Towns General urban features • 87% of population lives in urban areas in EU27 (plus ESPON Partner States) • 46,3% lives in Larger Cit- ies (High Density Urban Clusters ,HDUC) • 19% lives in Very Small Towns (below 5.000 in- habitants) • Total numbers (EU): › 850 Larger Cities (HDUCs) › 8.414 SMSTs › More than 69.000 Very Small Towns English Small and medium-sized towns in Europe Domain 4 “Equity”: European small and medium-sized towns (SMSTs) are › Lower unemployment rates compared to HDUCs hardly considered subjects in EU policy, yet are recog- Domain 5 “Culture and community”: nisable in the everyday experience of European citizens and companies.

  • Background Report
    Working Group on Innovative Solutions to Cross Border obstacles July 2016 – July 2017 BACKGROUND REPORT 1 INTRODUCTION Following the Luxembourg Presidency of the Council of the EU (2nd half of 2015) and its proposal to create a new legal tool for cross-border cooperation, the Working Group on Innovative Solutions to Cross-Border Obstacles has been established by Luxembourg and France. Under the Dutch Presidency (1st half of 2016), the Working Group was presented to the Directors- General in charge of Territorial Cohesion and of Urban Matters on 11th and 12th May 2016. At this occasion, it received a mandate to further investigate innovative solutions to overcome cross-border obstacles, with a particular focus on the added value, feasibility and design of the tool presented under the Luxembourg Presidency. The first meeting of the Working Group was held in Vienna on 5th July 2016. Conceived as an intergovernmental platform in a structured dialogue with the EU institutions, the Group included representatives from 12 Member States, 1 Partner State and 2 stakeholders in 5 meetings to work on the identification of obstacles to cross-border cooperation and innovative solutions to overcome them. Representatives of the European institutions – the European Commission, the European Parliament, the Committee of the Regions, the European Investment Bank – were invited to present their work on solving cross-border obstacles and discuss with the members of the Working Group how to tackle these challenges together. The detailed reports of each meeting are available on MOT website. Today, the Working Group presents a report on its activities, including recommendations on the European Cross-Border Convention (ECBC) procedure and tool, and a European multilevel platform to exchange problem-solving methods from different parts of Europe and foster the exchange of experiences and best practices.

BY Aaron Russell Martin ABSTRACT As a polity, the European Union (EU) is lacking in political legitimacy. Several failed referenda indicate that certain majorities within EU member states have actively rejected European treaties and concordantly, rule by Brussels. This thesis asserts that Euroregions, cross-border cooperative microregions, have the potential to become a local level interface that can connect the marginalized residents of the member states directly to the EU.
