Imagine the Southern Mediterranean and the Western Balkans tomorrow… 255 million people living in urban areas. A huge challenge for these regions of the world.
The Union for the Mediterranean, the European Union, the French Development Agency and the European Investment Bank have joined forces to achieve a successful transition towards sustainable cities in the Mediterranean and Western Balkans.
The Urban Projects Finance Initiative (UPFI) supports project promoters in the Southern and Eastern Mediterranean regions as well as in the Western Balkans, helping them to prepare and to finance ambitious urban development projects, which aim to create jobs, to reduce poverty and to upgrade the urban fabric.
Technical assistance in support of the Oued Martil valley development project, concerning the urban planning strategy and the social, environmental and sustainable development strategy, was completed in September 2019. Outcomes included the formulation of technical recommendations on various topics, with a view to consolidating the urban planning for the project, its coordination strategy and its sustainable development strategy.
