Abstract
This chapter aims to answer the following questions important for the elaboration of an urban agenda and, more specifically, for the Eixo Atlántico Urban Agenda:
-
Is the model of functional urban areas (FUA) defended by the EU applicable to cross-border regions with a polycentric system of small and medium-sized cities?
-
What role should the rural areas that surround cities have in urban planning?
-
Based on the principle that the model of FUAs is applicable to the reality of cross-border regions, how can these areas contribute to the management of services between medium-sized and dispersed cities?
-
Given that one of the characteristics of cross-border regions is urban sprawl, which puts undue strain on public funds and entails inefficient use of natural resources, what alternatives can be trialed to resolve this dispersion?
-
Apropos the principle of the sustainability of this territory, how can we make the interior of cities more attractive?
-
Should the medium-sized and small European cities of the future move to being vertical, horizontal or mixed cities?
