Abstract

The process towards an European agenda for the European Union was launched more than two decades ago. It was aimed at bulding an Urban development policy to face the urban challenges arised in the European territory according to an integrated and sustainable approach. The institutionalization of this process started in 1997 with the EC Communication “Towards an urban agenda in the European Union” and has led to the recent adoption of this agenda in the framework of the "Pact of Amsterdam Pact", signed in the informal meeting of ministers of urban affairs held on May 30, 2016. This paper analyzes the evolution of this process, focusing on its antecedents, development and current stage. It highlights its main phases and characteristics.
