Class description

User research revealed that the top user task for the EU regional and urban development class is access to funding opportunities. Users were also interested in information on urban and regional development topics, together with details of investment and development and information on how they work; strategy and policy; budget transparency; details of projects and the result or impact. 

The class indicated in the header or footer of a Commission website links to its landing page. For example: EU regional and urban development.
