Outline of Presentation EUROCITIES: A European Partnership Aims and activities The Urban perspective How are cities impacted? What can Cities do? What works? The Future: The European Year of Combating Poverty and Exclusion

What is EUROCITIES? EUROCITIES is a Network of European Cities From Edinburgh to Lublin, Naples to Leeds, Reykjavik to Nicosia, EUROCITIES has over 120 members in over 30 countries. Membership of EUROCITIES is open to large European cities.

The Aims of EUROCITIES We aim to; enhance links between cities and promote trans-national cooperation through participation in European projects. promote closer and more effective cooperation between the different territorial spheres of governance. engage in dialogue with the European institutions and ensure that the role and responsibilities of cities are taken into account in the development of EU policies and legislation. With activities focusing on the creation of; Inclusive, Prosperous, Sustainable & Creative cities.

Areas of Activity Activities are developed through areas or forums: Environment, Culture, Mobility, Knowledge Society, Social Affairs, Economic Development, and Cooperation Forums contain Working Groups: Social Affairs Forum: Employment, Social Inclusion, Migration & Integration, and Health & Well-being. Members can participate in areas of interest. e.g. Edinburgh is active in the Employment and the Social Inclusion working groups.

Poverty: The Urban Perspective Even in a wealth of opportunities, poverty and inequality is a significant issue. Unemployment: significant disparity between neighbourhoods and certain groups of people Income: significant numbers of low income households in cities, including in-work poor Health inequalities significant differences in mortality rate strongly linked to socio-economic status Poverty action requires cross-cutting and multi-actor action if it is to be effective

What do Cities do that works? There is no magic bullet..it depends on; the specific needs of the city the key strengths and opportunities available to the city The service context including structures, governance arrangements and resources available

What do Cities do that works? Actions of Municipality typically cover; Stimulating Demand: Create supportive conditions for the local economy to encourage investment and maximise opportunities for disadvantaged groups Capturing Opportunities: Provide training and brokerage services for jobseekers and businesses that increases employment rates within disadvantaged groups Supporting Transitions: Benefit top-ups, transition payments, childcare support to support progression towards/into employment Health and Social Factors: Tackling lifestyle factors that can contribute to ill-health and inactivity, disengagement Household Expenditure: Support families out of fuel poverty through for example allowances energy advice Co-ordination: Act as a mediator ensuring services combine around the needs of the individuals and businesses Delivered through a mix of People vs. Area Based approaches

Area Based Approaches Area based approaches have proved effective mechanisms. Typically with the following characteristics; Integrated Action: Horizontally between local administration and sectors and vertically between programming at European, National, Regional and local levels Integrated Strategy: goals, objectives, instruments and evaluation frameworks Data Collection at a sufficiently local scale to support targeting and impact monitoring Multi-actor approach: Bringing together key actors to work co-operatively on delivering common objectives Empowerment and participation of the local community in setting objectives, evaluation

EUROCITIES: Future Action European Year of Combating Poverty and Exclusion EUROCITIES will undertake a campaign during 2010 on the eradication of poverty and the benefits it will bring Stocktaking exercise across cities to provide example of what works Peer reviews between cities and thematic events to support Ongoing co-operation between cities EUROCITIES as part of the inclusive cities aim.
