Cohesion Policy and Quality of Life. The role of metropolitan areas

The ESPON seminar aims at discussing “Quality of Life for territorial and citizen-centric policies” bringing together the latest research on the topic and policy challenges. Improving the Quality of Life is a key objective for policymakers at different scales, and it has become more relevant in the policy agenda along with increasing demands for the participation of citizens in the political process. 

Metropolitan areas have an important role in supporting the quality of life of their citizens. Experts, policy maker and scientists present the final METRO project findings, exploring opportunities, challenges, and objectives of the cohesion policy in metropolitan areas. They are also discussing how a metropolitan dimension can contribute to enhance the quality of life in our cities and metropolitan areas.
