| | | EDITORIAL Information Events of the upcoming ENI-CBC-MED Call for Projects On June 6, Nicosia hosted the first of several Information Events organised by the Joint Management Authority of the ENI-CBC-MED Programme. From now until the end of July, events like that will be organised in all eligible countries of the Programme. You will find all the information related to these events on our site. This is a strategic cooperation programme for MedCities and its members because it is one of the few EU Programmes that allows cooperation among local authorities from all shores of the Mediterranean. In the previous programming period (2007-2013) many of our members participated in standard and strategic projects of this Programme, having had special relevance for the network the USUDS and SIDIGMED projects. For the coming Call for standard projects, which will be launched in the coming weeks, MedCities intends to be active not only in submitting proposals but also in providing assistance to our members to find reliable partnerships and projects that will contribute to the development of our cities. Another challenge will be how to associate Moroccan cities, not elegible in this Call, to the activities of the projects. Mediterranean cities need programmes like this one to be able to build strong ties among them through decentralised cooperation and to generate capacity-building and pilot projects to foster urban sustainable development. The upcoming Call is a good opportunity to do so. | | |
|  We must define the metropolis as a space of total freedom, where metropolitan citizens have the maximum liberty to go anywhere within the metropolis; and simultaneously, have the slightest need to leave their immediate environment. (Manuel Ribas Piera, 2004)
