ThemesThemes
Urban renewal Social cohesionSustainable development
Entrepreneurship
The rapid growth of New Towns can cause
specific problems linked with urban renewal.
The ENTP is starting an exchange of information
and good practice on this theme in
order to help New towns in developing their urban
renewal policies.
We believe that local authorities play a main role for the
social environment of inhabitants.
This theme is implemented through: 3 gender equality
projects, “knowledge networks” project on local governance, the “migrant woman” project,
the “ARCADE” project on culture and development and
proposals on “youth exchange” and fight against social exclusion.
This theme is promoted because ENTP believes that local authorities play a large
role in finding a balance between economic development and
environmental, health and social issues.
The theme is implemented through different projects:
the Encourage project and the Connected Cities project.
ENTP is starting to promote Entrepreneurship’s projects, taking into account the high demands of
the partners in working on this issue and its relationship with
the other ENTP’ s themes.Therefore, ENTP is beginning to
work on projects related to: Development of local economic
competitive advantages, promotion of SME, attraction and expansion
of new business and private investments and formation of high
or specialized skilled workers
