Territorial Cohesion in the European Union

Territorial cohesion is a concept which builds on the European Spatial Development Perspective (ESDP). The main idea of territorial cohesion is to contribute to European sustainable development and competitiveness. In other words territorial cohesion is intended to strengthen the European regions, promote territorial integration and produce coherence of EU policies so as to contribute to the sustainable development and competitiveness of the EU.

The main aim of the territorial cohesion policy is to contribute to balanced distributions of the economic and social resources between the European regions with the priority on the territorial dimension. This means that resources should be equally distributed between the regions. In order to achieve this goal the territorial cohesion policy requires an integrative approach of policies.
