The European Urban Initiative (EUI) is a new EU program that aims to provide more consistent support to cities by bringing together different urban initiatives and support tools, and strengthening the link to the core EU Cohesion Policy. This program includes the already established Urban Innovative Actions (UIA), but will also provide support to cities of all sizes as well as the EU Urban Agenda.

The overall objectives of the EUI are to strengthen integrated and participatory approaches to sustainable urban development, and to provide a stronger link to EU policies, and in particular to Cohesion Policy and investments.

The EUI will also promote capacity building, the development of innovative, transferable, and scalable solutions, policy design and implementation, urban mainstreaming, and ensuring easier access to thematic knowledge.
